Highlights

14:46(IST)

WICKET! Big scalp for Gujarat - it is Sachin Baby. The Kerala captain has been removed by Axar Patel and is caught by RH Bhatt. Vishnu Vinod now joins Sijumon at crease, who is batting on 32. Lead has now 112.  

14:41(IST)

The hosts are well and truly on top in Lucknow. Saurashtra have lost half their side. Only Harvik Desai has managed to show some fight in their first innings and has crossed fifty. Prerak Mankad is hanging on from the other end. 

14:38(IST)

Defending champions Vidharba have a big task at hand to run down Uttarakhand's first innings score, and they have made a strong start. Ramaswamy and Wasim Jaffer have notched up half-centuries and the score is nearing150.

14:33(IST)

In Wayanad, Sijomon and Sachin Baby have stitched together good partnership for the 4th wicket. They have helped Kerala's lead cross the 100-run mark. It is tough conditions for batting and a score close to 200 could prove to match-winning, especially against a firing Kerala seam attack.

14:31(IST)

The last wicket is adding some vital runs for Karnataka. Vinay Kumar is leading the charge for them, having scored 18 from 36 balls already. The home side trail by only 37 runs now.

14:19(IST)

Kerala's lead is approaching the 100-run mark. Given how much success the bowlers have had on this pitch, even a 200-run lead could suffice for them. 

14:08(IST)

Karnataka are now nine wickets down and look likely to end the first innings behind Rajasthan. Only a matter of time at this point. Saurashtra have also lost half their side vs. UP. 

13:56(IST)

Sheldon Jackson has now been dismissed by Yash Dayal and Saurashtra seem to be in a bit of trouble. They are 80/4 whereas UP made 385 in the first innings. Saurashtra need someone to put their hand up and play a big innings. 

13:54(IST)

Vidarbha are 100/1 in 28 overs. They lost Fazal earlier but now seem to be plugging along nicely. This game has been the most competitive quarterfinal thus far, which is amazing considering Uttarakhand played in the Plate division. 

13:48(IST)

When it rains it pours and that is exactly what is happening for Rajasthan. Rahul Chahar strikes again and Shreyas Gopal's resistance comes to an end. Karnataka are 154/8. 

13:43(IST)

Karnataka seven down now as K Gowtham departs. They are still 72 runs behind Rajasthan's total and are now in real danger of ending the first innings while trailing. 

13:34(IST)

And Kerala lose another wicket. Manoharan  departs for 16 off 27 balls having been trapped in front of the stumps by Axar Patel. Kerala are 45/3 and lead by 68 runs. 

13:25(IST)

Kerala have steadily increased their lead to 67 with some sensible batting thus far. One gets the feeling that even a 200-run lead would be quite the task for Gujarat to chase down. 

13:14(IST)

Shivam Mavi has snared the big wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara for a paltry 11! This is a big blow landed by UP as Saurashtra would have wanted the experienced batsman to do more. They are 67/3. 

13:06(IST)

D Dhapola gets rid of Faiz Fazal and this is a big loss. Not only is this the first wicket that Vidharba have lost but it's also that of arguably one of their key batsmen. It will be interesting to see how Uttarakhand progress from here. 

13:03(IST)

Karnataka definitely struggling now. 

12:54(IST)

Wicket! TM Haq is at it again! He dismisses K Siddharth for 52 and Karnataka, having lost half their side, now look in a bit of trouble. If Rajasthan get another wicket or two soon, they could still end the first innings with a lead. 

12:43(IST)

Vidharba vs. Uttarakhand and Kerala vs Gujarat are back underway and the remaining matches will start soon enough. 

12:08(IST)

Lunch - Vidharba are 33/0 after 10 overs vs Uttarakhand, Karnataka 115/4 after 37 overs vs Rajasthan and Saurashtra are 44/2 vs. Uttar Pradesh, Kerala 16/2 vs. Gujarat.  

12:05(IST)

K Siddharth has brought up a patient 50 for Karnataka at a good time. They need him to go on and make a big score now, especially since Karun Nair and Manish Pandey didn't make much of an impact. 

12:01(IST)

Kerala have lost their second wicket of the match with just 12 runs on the board. Rahul P was caught by Kathan Patel off Nagwaswalla's bowling. This has all the makings of a low-scoring game. 

11:45(IST)

Oh how quickly things can change. Saurashtra were strolling along nicely but Ankit Rajpoot struck twice in two balls and reduced them to 35/2. Meanwhile Karnataka have reached the 100-run mark but there remains more to do. 

11:40(IST)

Both Vidharba and Saurashtra are yet to lose any wickets thus far into their innings. Both teams will hope that things stay that way for a while. 

11:27(IST)

Kerala make a less than ideal start to the second innings as Mohammed Azharuddeen is dismissed lbw by CT Gaja for a duck. They are 0/1 after the first over. 

11:22(IST)

TM Haq strikes again for Rajasthan, this time removing the experienced Manish Pandey. Karnataka started the day fairly well but are in a bit of a precarious position right now and need a good partnership to salvage this innings. They are 94/4. 

11:18(IST)

Vidharba have begun their first innings against Uttarakhand. They possess a good batting line-up but overhauling 355 will not be an easy task for them even then. 

11:12(IST)

TM Ul-Haq gets the big wicket of Karun Nair as he is caught behind the stumps. He departs for just 4 and Karnataka are 81/3. Saurashtra have made a steady start against UP and are currently 11/0. 

11:09(IST)

Wicket! RB Kalaria has been dismissed, meaning Gujarat end the first innings on 162; they trail Kerala by 23 runs, which is amazing considering how well they bowled yesterday. 

11:05(IST)

Out! Umesh Yadav has his fourth wicket of the match and Uttarakhand's innings come to and end at 355. That is a solid first innings score and they will be reasonably confident going into the second innings. 

10:56(IST)

Meanwhile Saurashtra have begun their innings against UP. They will need a good start from the openers to stand a chance of easily overhauling UP's first innings total of 385.
