IND C 136/5 vs IND A

India B skipper Easwaran still standing strong, scoring 68 off 100 deliveries. At the other end, Washington Sundar who is pacing himself. 

The India C batter is leaving the filed on a stretcher. He looks to be in some pain. A huge blow for the team as he was building a great partnership with Porel. 

Manav Suthar is the new batter. 

Baba Indrajith seems to have pulled a muscle in his left leg as he completed a run. He is currently receiving medical attention, unbeaten on 34 for India C vs India A.

Nitish Kumar Reddy c Samson b Arshdeep 0 (6b)

IND B 100/5 vs IND D

Indrajith and Porel motor on for India C after the early wickets. Porel has been the more aggressive of the two, striking at almost a run-a-ball. Indrajith solid in defence, providing support to the Bengal batter.

A brisk half century for Abhimanyu Easwaran in just 65 balls. Seven fours and and a six in his knock so far. With Suryakumar for company, he’ll be hoping to stitch up a partnership and overcome the score of 349. 

Abhishek: Saurabh Kumar’s delivery skids on and traps Prabhudessai in front. Kept a bit low too. Musheer Khan is the new batter. India B 65/2.

Abhishek Porel has looked confident in his 16-ball knock so far. Has punished anything too full, both through the offside and through midwicket. Three boundaries takes him to 19. 

Abhishek: Two loud appeals for leg before in Saurabh Kumar’s over as Suyash Prabhudessai fails in executing his sweeps.

Abhishek Porel joins Baba Indrajith at the crease. The TN batter puts away a half volley on the pads from Avesh to the boundary to get the second session underway

Easwaran and Suyash have managed to stabilise the innings for India B. A S Thakare with the solitary wicket. After 13 overs, it is lunch break.

Sai Sudharsan c †Kushagra b Aaqib Khan 17 (51b)

IND C 41/4 in 14 overs 

Abhishek: The pitch already starting to offer uneven bounce. Thakare had beaten Abhimanyu with extra bounce a couple of overs back, and now his delivery stays low and takes Prabhudessai’s edge.

An inside edge costs Ishan Kishan his wicket as he departs for five. Avesh Khan picks up his first wicket. 

Ishan Kishan b Avesh Khan 5 (11b)

IND C 39/3

Skipper Gaikwad on 8 from 12 balls and Sudharsan, 4 from 10. Avesh Khan returns for his second over, a maiden for him.

Abhishek: Arshdeep has been wayward with his lines up front. The two boundaries for Abhimanyu have come with a glance down fine leg and a flick through square leg.

Easwaran picks up a boundary in the first over while Jagadeesan is yet to face a ball. A S Thakare begins with a maiden over. 

Easwaran and Jagadeesan at the centre for India B after India D post 349. Arshdeep Singh bowls the first over. 

After India A was bowled out for 297, Skipper Gaikwad and Sudharsan open for India C. Prasidh with the ball. 

Gourav Yadav traps Aaqib Khan in front for nought to close out the India A innings at 297. A little too many runs conceded to the lower order after India C reduced India A to 154/7. Avesh Khan remains unbeaten on 51. 

Arshdeep the last wicket to fall for 11 off 13 balls. 

Fifty!! Two boundaries in two balls to bring up a half-century for Avesh. Second FC fifty in just 67 balls. Five fours and four sixes in his knock so far!

IND A 297/9 in 90.3 overs

Abhishek: A streaky wicket. Arshdeep plays down the ground but Saini gets a hand to it and the ball crashes into the stumps, leaving Saurabh short of his crease. Lucky!

Ishan Kishan’s instructions on the previous ball does the trick! Vyshak cleans up Prasidh with a full inswinger. 

Prasidh Krishna b Vyshak 34

India A 286/9 in 89.4 overs

Prasidh is joining the fun. The pacer attacks his way to 34 off 35 balls, providing the perfect foil to Avesh at the other end. The partnership between the two has already risen to 40. Gaikwad will be concerned with the flow of runs here.

India A 286/8 in 89 overs

Akash Sengupta follows Samson back to the pavillion. A two-ball duck for him. The ball from Saini hit him on the helmet and ricocheted back onto the stumps. Fourth wicket for the Delhi pacer. 

​​

Avesh Khan continues his boundary hitting. Moves up to 38 off 61 balls.

A hundred off just 95 balls for the Kerala wicketkeeper batter. 11 fours and three sixes in his knock. 

Wicket!! Vyshak strikes! Shashwat looks to play off the backfoot. The ball keeps low from a length and rattles the stumps. Excellent innings from the southpaw but he is dismissed before he can add much to his overnight tally. Prasidh in next.

Shashwat Rawat b Vyshak 124

IND A 244/8 in 81.4 overs

Abhishek: A little bit of nerves from Samson. He is on 96 and pokes away from his body against Mukesh. Beaten!!

Kamboj with an in-jagger that catches Avesh on the pads. Was given out onfield but Avesh shows the ‘T’ sign for the review. Missing leg stump says ball-tracking. A streaky boundary down leg to finish the over. 

IND A 244/7 in 81 overs

India C has taken the new ball and Anshul Kamboj will be brought into the attack.
