Mohammed Shami picks up his third wicket of the innings in the form of No. 11 Priyajitsing Jadeja as Bengal dismiss Gujarat for a paltry 167-run total. Bengal thus attain a crucial 112-run first-innings lead and have commenced their second essay.

Jammu and Kashmir have thrashed Rajasthan by an innings and 41 runs in Srinagar, with Auqib Nabi returning magical figures of 7/24. This is J&K's first win of the season, having lost to Mumbai in their opener.

India discard and much talked about top-order batter Prithvi Shaw is batting on 84 for Maharashtra against Chandigarh in their Elite Group B match. The right-hander had hit 75 in the second innings against Kerala in Maharashtra's opener and is eyeing a century today.

Gujarat have lost their eighth wicket against Bengal off the third ball of the morning. Chintan Gaja falls for 4 to out-of-favour India left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed, and that completes a five-wicket haul for Shahbaz. The all-rounder has figures of 5/23 in 14 overs currently.

A fresh chapter was written in the Ranji Trophy as Services defeated Assam yesterday in a match that lasted just 90 overs, the shortest completed game in the tournament’s 91-year history.
