Updates from Palam-B ground, New Delhi: Saurashtra's tails are up after the spinners lay a web to confound the batsmen in the middle.

Karnataka completes six-wicket win over Vidarbha. Ravikumar Thakur's three-wicket burst had Karnataka in trouble at 61/4 in the 18th over.

Updates from Palam-B ground, New Delhi: "Frantic run making from Arpit Vasavad and Chirag Jani helped Saurashtra reach 214/7 in 50 overs.

Updates from M.A. Chidambaram stadium, Chennai: "It is a fairly slow wicket at Chepauk, no surprise TN is playing three spinners in Rahil Shah, Varun Chakravarthy and Sai Kishore. The pitch will tend to get slower as the game progresses, so Bengal will fancy its chances should it reach a competitive score. At the moment, its the batsmen who are benefiting from some pretty ordinary fielding by TN. Easwaran is grinding it out on a pitch that has little to offers in terms of pace and bounce. The right-hander reaches his fifty in 76 balls with Bengal over the hundred mark in the 25th over" Bengal 105/2 (25.2 Overs)
