Chopra was 103 not out at close as Board President's XI reached 227-1 in the truncated tie, strengthening his case for an opening slot for the upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand.

Chopra, who struck six fours off 263 deliveries, got to his century with a pulled boundary from off-spinner Paul Wiseman. The captains decided to call off play with that stroke.

"It was wonderful to get these runs and I am looking forward to our next match," said Chopra, who is also a member of the India A side due to take on the visitors from October 2 to 4 at Rajkot.

Left-hander Yuvraj Singh, a regular in the Indian one-day team, also staked a claim for a Test berth with an unbeaten 80.
