Ranji Trophy LiveRanji Trophy 2022, Round 2, Day 1 live cricket score online, updates: Ajinkya Rahane didn’t bother the scorers as Mumbai were put on back-foot by Goa while Saurashtra didn’t get affected by Cheteshwar Pujara’s cheap dismissal against Odisha in their respective Ranji Trophy Elite Group D games respectively.
India Test discard Karun Nair came up with a fighting unbeaten 152 as Karnataka scored 268 for 8 against Jammu & Kashmir on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match. Opener Devdutt Padikkal (8) fall early to Mujtaba Yousuf (2 for 44) after Karnataka won the toss and elected to bat.
Nair (267 balls, 21 fours, 1 six) and the other opening batter Ravikumar Samarth (45, 5 fours) then added 98 runs for the second wicket to steady the innings. K V Siddharth, who hit a century in the opening match against Railways, helped Nair add 56 runs for the third wicket.
Mandeep Singh remained unbeaten on a majestic 130, while wicketkeeper-batter Anmol Malhotra also slammed a century as Punjab recovered from a poor start to post 368 for 5 against Haryana on day one of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group F match here on Thursday.
Ishant Sharma bowled only one short spell of four overs but his Team India colleague Navdeep Saini along with the spinners dismissed Jharkhand for a below par 251 on the opening day of Delhi's second group H must-win Ranji Trophy match on Thursday. Ishant and Saini's entry made Delhi's attack stronger but the lanky fast bowler (4-1-14-0) after a gingerly first spell was never brought back for a second spell.
Ricky Bhui hit an unbeaten 109 to help Andhra score 277 for 3 on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group E match against Services here on Thursday. Electing to bat, Andhra got off to a horror start, losing opener C R Gnaneshwar for a duck to Diwesh Pathania. Wicketkeeper-batter U M S Girinath (53) and S K Rasheed (23) put on 49 runs for the second wicket before the latter fell to P S Poonia.
Ajinkya Rahane didn't bother the scorers as Mumbai were put on back-foot by Goa while Saurashtra didn't get affected by Cheteshwar Pujara's cheap dismissal against Odisha in their respective Ranji Trophy Elite Group D games respectively. Mumbai were all out for 163 with Rahane (0) being trapped leg before by an incoming delivery from pacer Lakshay Garg (6/46) as Sarfaraz Khan's (63 off 110 balls) half-century was the only saving grace.
Saurashtra were 325 for 4 as Pujara hit two fours before being caught in slips by Biplab Samantray and bowled by Debabrata Pradhan. Chirag Jani (125 batting) and Sheldon Jackson (75) added 130 runs for the fourth wicket stand.

Sheldon Jackson gone for decent 75. 130 runs partnership with Chirag Jani for the 4th wicket.
Jharkhand captain Virat Singh, after struggling for 2 years where he had a lean patch, plays a sublime knock vs Delhi, scoring his 4th 100.

Vidarbha mainstay Ganesh Satish (103*) weaves 16th century in his 100th First-Class match against Maharashtra in Sultanpur. Satish and Atharva Taide (58) added 162 for the 3rd wkt to take Vidarbha to 180-2.
