Left arm seamer James Franklin, 19, took the remainingtwo wickets to fall today.The Academy made a disastrous start as Canterbury right hander MichaelPapps fell for a third ball duck in the first over of the innings,bowled by Fiaz Ahmed. When Jarrod Englefield had his stumpsdisarranged by off spinner Jogam Yadav for 7, the visitors had slid to45/2.
