Madhya Pradesh vs Saurashtra: Rajat Patidar has been dismissed just after he scored a 50 off 62 balls. Madhya Pradesh 112/2.

Delhi vs Vidarbha: Gone! Will Hiten Dalal's wicket turn things around for Vidarbha? As he departs for 82(146), Delhi's score stands at 163/1. With approximately 43 overs remaining in the last day's play, Delhi requires 183 runs to win. Quick wickets will be the mantra...

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh: Amol, for sure, is witnessing an edge-of-the-seat thriller at the Wankhede. He says, "A wicket against run of play. The defensive tactics come good as Aditya Tare (97, 144b, 14x4) nicks part-timer Rinku Singh to slips. The 179-run partnership is broken with Tare being the second Mumbai batsman to be out in 90s. Mumbai 517/6

Shams Mulani joins Sarfaraz Khan (206*) at the crease. With Mumbai still 109 runs away from the 626-run mark, UP have regained advantage. Are we in for a thrilling finish?"

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh: Sarfaraz Khan taps Saurabh Kumar for a single on the onside and celebrates his 200 (277b, 23x4, 6x6) in style. Acknowledges his teammates and father-cum-coach Naushad, who is watching from the MCA pavilion. Mumbai 500/5.

Nagaland vs Bihar: That is a big wicket! Stuart Binny departs after making 81(117), castled by Bihar's leggie Shivam Kumar. Nagaland 344/4, leads by one run.

Madhya Pradesh vs Saurashtra: MP loses its first wicket as Rameez Khan walks back to the pavilion, having been dismissed by medium-pacer Prerak Mankad. Madhya Pradesh 39/1 after 14.2 overs.

Delhi vs Vidarbha:

 

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh: UP spinners have employed negative tactics. But Sarfaraz (196*) and Tare (83*) have found ways to still fetch fours. While Sarfaraz paddle-sweeps Saurabh to third-man, Tare charges down and whips it through midwicket. Mumbai 493/5

 

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh: Sarfaraz Khan (187*, 249b, 22x4, 6x6) paddle-sweeps left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar to up the rate. His 126-run stand with  Tare (64*, 94b, 11x4) takes Mumbai to 464/5, 162 runs adrift.

Delhi vs Vidarbha:

 

Madhya Pradesh vs Saurashtra: Saurashtra declares at 256/9, with a lead of 320 runs. The side has to try and bowl Madhya Pradesh out within 68 overs (approx.)

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh:Update from Amol reads: "UP have employed a short-ball ploy. Rajpoot gets Tare (50*, 73b) to top-edge a pull twice but it lands safely on both occasions. Sarfaraz (160*) is also lucky as his audacious slog-sweep off pacer Wajid Ali lands in no man's land. Mumbai 423/5"

Jharkhand vs Uttarakhand: All over for Uttarakhand as Jharkhand, riding on Kumar Deobrat 's 93 and Ashish Kumar's fifer, wins the contest by six wickets.

Assam vs Maharashtra: And that will be it! Maharashtra stages a brilliant comeback after a dismal first innings to thump Assam by a mammoth 218 runs. The north-eastern side has been bundled out for a mere 78. Ashay Palkar was the wrecker-in-chief taking six wickets in just 13.5 overs.

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh:Amol texts: "Sarfaraz Khan 152* (205b, 16x4, 6x6) and captain Aditya Tare 39* (60b, 8x4) have added 52 in 15 ovs before the drinks break. With bowlers toiling on a placid pitch, it's up to the set pair to keep going and get Mumbai closer to the magical mark of 626. 405/5"

Madhya Pradesh vs Saurashtra: Harvik Desai reaches his century ! With that, Saurashtra has now put up a lead of 293 runs. Will the side declare now and try to bowl Madhya Pradesh out before the end of the day?

Himachal vs Baroda: The Dharamsala weather, meanwhile, continues to disappoint the fans. The relentless showers and a wet outfield have delayed proceedings again.

Delhi vs Vidarbha: Delhi requires 292 runs more to win the contest by the end of day (approximately 78 overs). It hasn't lost a wicket yet and I can sense the match head towards a thrilling finish.

Goa vs Chandigarh: The Goa match is headed towards a draw too. It trails by 211 runs, eight wickets in hand.

Jharkhand vs Uttarakhand: Jharkhand inching towards a massive win. Opener Kumar Deobrat, batting on 83, will want to finish things off by himself before leaving the ground. Only three down, the side needs 20 to win.

Nagaland vs Bihar: Nagaland trails by 145 runs, with seven wickets remaining. Today being Day 4, Bihar has all but bagged the points for having the 1st innings lead.

Assam vs Maharashtra: Assam facing an almost impossible task up ahead. With only two wickets in hand, it still requires 233 runs to win.

Mumbai vs Uttar Pradesh:Amol tweets: "Sarfaraz cuts Ankit Rajpoot to run two and celebrate his 150* (189b, 16x4, 6x6). Tare batting on 32 (54b, 5x4). Sarfaraz is five runs shy of overhauling his previous best in FC - 155 for UP vs MP in 2015-16. Mumbai 394/5 #MUMvUP #RanjiTrophy @sportstarweb"

Gujarat vs Punjab: Within 7.2 overs from the start of play on Day 4, Gujarat pacers concede 22 runs and skittle Punjab out . Arzan Nagwaswalla and Chintan Gaja unleash fire to bring up a 110-run victory for Gujarat.

Madhya Pradesh vs Saurashtra: Cheteshwar Pujara (64 not out) and Harvik Desai (65 not out) resume Saurashtra's chase. Saurashtra leads by 229 runs.
