KL Rahul is expected to take the field for Karnataka against Tripura, while his teammate Devdutt Padikkal is making national selectors take notice with three hundreds and a 406-run aggregate already. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai are the only teams yet to taste defeats, and all seek their fifth win on the bounce.

Vijay Hazare Trophy Round 5 Live Score: Karnataka Vs Tripura
Tripura land a massive early punch. Abhijit Sarkar rips through Karnataka’s top order in a single over, first sending Mayank Agarwal back and then removing Karun Nair straight after. Just three overs in and Karnataka are rocked at 13 for 2, the visitors suddenly buzzing as the crowd goes quiet.
Vijay Hazare Trophy Round 5 Live Score: Maharashtra Vs Mumbai
Maharashtra have begun steadily, with no risks and no panic. Prithvi Shaw is taking his time at the top, unbeaten on 12 off 21, easing himself in. At the other end, Arshin Kulkarni looks the busier of the two, moving to 22 off 31 with five crisp boundaries. No wickets lost so far, the platform is being laid quietly as Maharashtra settle into their first innings.
