Aravind to S Bandekar, FOUR, much needed! Full and angling in, Bandekar opens his bat face at the last moment and squeezes it wide of the keeper into the third man fence

J Suchith to S Asnodkar, out Caught by Aravind!! Two wickets in a span of three deliveries. It's the set batsman Asnodkar who perishes. It was full on the stumps, Asnodkar sinked low on the sweep, skews it off the top-edge and a sitter for Aravind at short fine. S Asnodkar c Aravind b J Suchith 34(28) [4s-3 6s-1]

Pavan Deshpande to Deepraj Gaonkar, out Caught by Gautam!! That's a soft dismissal for Gaonkar. Against the run of play.

Cariappa to S Asnodkar, FOUR, threads the gap this time. Pivots back and flashes the cut, beats backward point and off it goes to the fence

Gowtham K to Keenan Vaz, out Caught&Bowled!! Fantastic grab from Gowtham. Lured the batsman with the flight, gets it to dip and Vaz chips it half-heartedly back towards the bowler - off the toe-end. Gowtham moves across and pouches it safely. Keenan Vaz c and b Gowtham K 18(12) [4s-3]

Gowtham K to Keenan Vaz, FOUR, untidy stuff from the deep mid-wicket fielder. Vaz went back and whipped it firmly towards deep mid-wicket, the fielder gets across, puts in the dive and lets it burst through his hands to the boundary

J Suchith to Keenan Vaz, FOUR, classic shot. Hnads back and whips this flatter delivery fiercely through mid-wicket. Split the gap to perfection

Vinay to Keenan Vaz, FOUR, poor delivery from Kumar. Short and asking to be hit, Vaz waits and smears the cut past point

Aravind to Snehal Kauthankar, out Caught by Nair!! An outstanding catch from Nair. Aravind picks up his first wicket. A short ball, kept climbing onto Kauthankar, who cleared his front leg and went for a pull, only manages a top-edge and sends it high in the air. Nair backtracked from mid-wicket, kept his eyes on the ball and gobbles it up. In the process, tumbles onto the ground after completing the catch. Snehal Kauthankar c Nair b Aravind 10(11) [4s-1]

Aravind to Snehal Kauthankar, FOUR, this was one took off from a length, Kauthankar was opening the bat face to steer it to third man, but extra bounce meant that it took his splice and trickled past the keeper

J Suchith to S Asnodkar, FOUR, that's a buffet ball from Suchith. Half tracker outside off, Asnodkar goes deep and flays it over cover-point

Aravind to S Asnodkar, SIX, there was a fielder positioned in the deep for the trap but he could only watch the ball sail over his head. A short ball from Aravind, sat up nicely for Asnodkar. He camped back and pulled it a long way into the deep mid-wicket stands

Aravind to SK Kamat, out Caught by Anirudha Joshi!! One shot too many Kamat. First blood drawn. Kamat throws his bat at this short of length delivery outside off, skews a top-edge which flew to third man. Joshi didn't have to move an inch and settles under it with ease. SK Kamat c Anirudha Joshi b Aravind 15(18) [4s-3]

Aravind to SK Kamat, FOUR, imperious! Rocks back in a flash and nails the pull to this short ball, middled it alight and raced away to the fence

Cariappa to SK Kamat, FOUR, nicely played. Strides down the pitch and blasts a drive through cover

Gowtham K to SK Kamat, FOUR, Kamat gets off the mark. Engineers some room by moving to leg and carves this tossed up delivery over point
