Ajay Mandal gives Chhattisgarh a lift before lunch as he traps Basil Thampi in front for five as Kerala loses its eighth wicket. Nidheesh is the new batter.

Oh dear, Saurashtra in big trouble after losing half its side for just 17 runs on board. Hitesh Walunj with his slow left-arm spin has picked up four wickets with a wonderful economy of 1.00. Saurashtra leads by 60 runs as Prerak Mankad joins Vishvarajsinh Jadeja. 

Ashish Chouhan takes his well-deserved fifer. He has Shreyas Gopal caught in the leg slip for 5. Shashank Chandrakar takes a good catch to leave Kerala seven down.

More trouble for Saurashtra as Cheteshwar Pujara falls for a duck with Hitesh Walunj picking his third wicket. Maharashtra is on fire as Saurashtra desperately needs a partnership with Vishvarajsinh Jadeja stranded at the other end.

Saurashtra is in all sorts of trouble as Hitesh Walunj strikes to remove Kevin Jivrajani. Both openers have departed early as Saurashtra loses its third wicket just half an hour before the lunch break. The lead has crossed the 50-run mark, but Arpit Vasavada departs. Application will be the key on a surface that is assisting the bowlers as Saurashtra aims to build the lead. Walunj picks up his second wicket in the morning, and Maharashtra has made early inroads after being bowled out for 159.

Ashish Chouhan castles Vishnu Vinod for 40 to break the threatening sixth wicket stand. Azhar has completed his fifty, and Kerala is six down. Shreyas is the new batter at the crease.

Saurashtra is off to a poor start as Harvik Desai falls early. Kevin Jivrajani and Vishvarajsinh Jadeja are in the middle. Pradeep Dadhe dismissed the Saurashtra wicketkeeper-batsman for a duck. Saurashtra leads by 47 runs.

Kerala consolidates after the early loss of skipper Sanju Samson. Vishnu Vinod and Mohammed Azharuddeen have added 62 runs for the sixth wicket to take Kerala to a position of strength. The batters have attacked the loose balls to put pressure on Chhattisgarh. Azhar is batting on 40 while Vishnu is batting on 33

Dharmendrasinh Jadeja stars with a four-wicket haul, and Yuvrajsinh Dodiya picks up three wickets as Saurashtra bowls out Maharashtra for 159 in 45.4 overs. Maharashtra trails by 42 runs, and Saurashtra will look to bat deep and take a substantial lead in the second essay.

Rahul Singh smashes a brilliant century but falls for a run-a-ball 108. The skipper forged a 145-run partnership with Rohit Rayudu and the home side is in a commanding position to take the lead as it trails by 32 runs. 

Dharmendrasinh Jadeja has picked up a four-wicket haul as Saurashtra aims to bowl out Maharshtra after getting bundled out for 202. Saurashtra opted to bat first on a seaming track in Solapur. Jadeja and Prerak Mankad stood out with a 118-run stand for the sixth wicket. For Maharashtra, Kaushal Tambe has been the top-scorer with a 61-ball 37 as the rest failed to get going.

An eventful opening 15 minutes of play saw Kerala lose captain Sanju Samson in the second over. Asish Chouhan had him caught by Eknath in the slips, playing a loose shot. Azharuddeen has started with a flourish striking two crisp boundaries. 

Tanush Kotian- holds the key for Mumbai and has Dhawal Kulkarni for company. Bengal’s Suraj Jaiswal with a four-wicket haul will look to make inroads and bowl out Mumbai in the morning session.
