Thalassery, Nov 6 (PTI) A patient 91 by Rohan Prem and his 82-run seventh wicket partnership with P Prashant (35) helped Kerala score 336 in their first innings and draw their Ranji Trophy Plate Division match against Andhra Pradesh here today. Andhra in their second innings scored 46 for no loss.

Andhra earned three points and Kerala one point. Resuming at their overnight score of 208/6, Rohan Prem, who was batting on 52, continued from where he left yesterday, to rescue the hosts with sensible batting, dispatching the loose balls to the fence.

Sony Cheruvathoor chipped in with 28 and pacer S Sreesanth, who could not grab a wicket in Andhra first innings, contributed a breezy 22 off 26 balls, including three well executed boundaries and a huge six of off-spinner G V S Prasad.

Brief Scores: Andhra Pradesh: 442 and 46 for no loss; Kerala 336 (Jagadeesh 50, Vinan Nair 44, Rohan Prem 91; G V S Prasad 5 for 100).
