Ishan Kishan comes out of the crease to take on Piyush Chawla and misses it, Parthiv Patel takes off the bails to end the Jharkhand skipper innings of 64 runs (52b, 3x4, 4x6). Jharkhand 90/5 in 18.2 overs
Another victory on the cards for the chasing team today, J&K 26 runs away from a victory with 34 balls remaining, captain Parvez Rasool reaches his fifty in 53 balls.

Update from M.A.C: J&K 74/3 in 20 overs, Parvez Rasool holds key to the vistor's chances. The skipper swept off-spinner Varun over deep mid-wicket for six, and has looked settled so far.

Update from M.A.C: Baba Indrajith (28, 35b, 3x4) struck a slew of lusty blows and together with Washington Sundar, put up 34 runs for the fifth wicket before becoming Raza's second victim of the match. Tamil Nadu 146/6 with 10 overs remaining.

Rajasthan has lost four wickets as the Bengal bowlers are making regular inroads. Rajasthan 64/4 at the end of 16 overs.
Update from M.A.C: Jammu and Kashmir won the toss and elected to bowl. TN lost opener Jagadeesan cheaply, the keeper-batsman getting caught behind off seamer Rasik Salam. There's some movement off the deck and in the air, however, early morning showers have slowed down the outfield, so expect the batsmen to run plenty of ones and twos. Meanwhile, in-form batsman Abhinav Mukund collected two boundaries thanks to a top edge that ran to the third-man fence and a delightful drive through mid-off. Murali Vijay and Mukund at the crease. TN 23/1 after 5.
