Welcome to the highlights of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. This was Santadeep Dey bringing you all the action as it unfurled across the six centres in India.

HIGHLIGHTS

Baroda vs Chhattisgarh: Two overs to go. 31 runs to get. Will Chhattisgarh be able to cross the finish line? It all depends on Ajay Mandal who has just reached a quickfire fifty.

Tripura vs Goa: Having lost five wickets for 110, Goa was in a spot of bother until opener KD Eknath and Darshan Misal struck up a crucial partnership. Presently, even as the side is only 11 away from a victory, Eknath is nine and Misal six short of their respective century and half-century. Mathematically, it is possible for both to get to their individual marks. Time to wait and watch! Goa 206/5. UPDATE: Too little too late for Tripura as Eknath fell for 92. Misal went on to get his fifty as Goa comfortably took home four points.

Gujarat vs Hyderabad: Hyderabad loses five for 43 runs as Gujarat moves to the very brink of a big win. Hyderabad 196/9 in 43 overs.

Karnataka vs Kerala: Back-to-back hundreds for Devdutt Padikkal! Karnataka 237/1 in 41.5 overs.

Karnataka vs Kerala: Innings Progression

 

Tamil Nadu vs Jharkhand: Jharkhand's sorry-looking scorecard narrates the whole story - Virat Singh and Sumit Kumar are the only two bastmen in the 40s, Anukul Roy and Bal Krishna have registered between 10-20 runs and all other batsmen have single-digit scores. Jharkhand 145/9 in 42.5 overs.

Karnataka vs Kerala: Batting on 82 off 99, Devdutt Padikkal seems to be comfortably cruising towards another hundred. Meanwhile, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, on 52, is providing the RCB youngster able company. Karnataka 200/1 in 33.1 overs, needs 78 runs.

UPDATE: Devdutt Padikkal's innings vs Kerala today.

 

Gujarat vs Hyderabad: It is a race to the finish. With 19 overs of play left, Hyderabad needs 85 runs, while Gujarat requires six wickets. Who will reach the mark first? Hyderabad 138/4 in 31 overs.

Madhya Pradesh vs Andhra: Ashwin Hebbar's unbeaten 101 against TN on Monday seems like a long time ago especially after back-to-back failures against Punjab (1, 9b) and now MP (6, 13b). Oh, no!
