Zaheer Khan [Images] once again got the better of his one-time mentor Sourav Ganguly [Images], bowling the former India captain for two in the County Championship Division 2 match between Worcestershire and Northamptonshire at New Road on Thursday.

The left-arm seamer, who claimed 11 wickets in his previous match, bowled yet another fiery spell to blast the Northants out for a paltry 67 in the first innings on the second day of the match.

Ganguly, on a short stint as replacement for Chris Rogers of Australia, failed to lift the visitors' fortunes with his innings lasting only 14 balls and 15 minutes.

Zaheer, who had dismissed the Prince of Kolkata for zero in both the innings of a Duleep Trophy last season, returned with figures of 5-27.

Worcestershire, having earned a 476-run lead, had no hesitation in enforcing the follow on and Zaheer struck immediately to remove Stephen Peters for four.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Mongia cracked a 93-ball 62 to help Leicestershire set a challenging target of 323 for Glucestershire in their Division 2 match at Grace Road.

Having gained an 89-run first innings lead, Leicestershire were all out for 233 in their second knock on the third day today.
