<output>2_806</output>
2806 runs   Now excluding the two innings the runs scored= 58*44= 
<gadget id="calculator">58*44</gadget>
<output>2_552</output>
2552 runs   Hence the runs scored in the two innings= 2806 – 2552 = 254 runs.   Let the highest score be x, hence the lowest score = x – 150   x + (x - 150) = 254   2x = 404   x = 202 runs   ANSWER 202
