. Rohit Motwani's 94-run partnership with Mukesh Choudhary may have been broken, with the tailender's attempted pull resulting in a top-edge to 'keeper Mahesh Rawat.

. Rohit Motwani completes his fourth first-class hundred - first in four years - in the penultimate over before lunch. With debutant Mukesh Choudhary increasing looking like a confident batter, the left-handed duo has surged Maharashtra's total to 353 for seven at lunch. Time for a bite!
. Chirag Khurana played Amit Mishra on to the stumps soon after the first hour's play. In the next over, Karan Thakur fetched an edge off Nikit Dhumal's willow.

. Tamil Nadu pressed slightly ahead in the second session scoring 112 runs in 28.4 overs, with Vijay Shankar slamming his fifth first-class ton. The all-rounder was trapped leg before for 100, though it looked like he might have had hit it on to his pads judging by the visible disappointment with the decision.
Aparajith is still at the crease batting on 88; he seems to have slowed down a bit after getting to his fifty. It will be interesting to see whether TN goes for the declaration once Aparajith gets to his 100 or not. At the stroke of tea, Washington Sundar was dismissed for 14 with TN at 494 for six.
. TN goes into lunch at 382 for four with B. Aparajith and Vijay Shankar batting on 45 and 48 respectively. It has been a tough session but both batsmen have now go their eye in. TN would want to get a move on post-lunch and get another 100 runs quickly so that it can have a crack Odisha towards the end of the day.
. Halfway into the first session here in Cuttack, Odisha bowlers have made full use of some early morning helpful conditions picking a wicket and not allowing TN to get quick runs.
At drinks break, TN is 340 for four with only 48 runs coming in the first 19 overs. Also a hat-tip to Odisha bowlers for maintaining a good over rate even with pacers bowling the most so far. Indrajith missed out on a half-century, caught behind down the leg side, a soft dismissal. There early winter morning has helped the pacers and runs have been hard to come by but Vijay Shankar and B. Aparajith are looking solid.

. At tea, Baroda is at 304/3.
