1pm The Rest of India innings finally comes to an end, and Madhya Pradesh would be relatively happy with how they fought back after the partnership between Easwaran and Jaiswal. Avesh was the pick of the bowlers and if the MP batters can bat well, they can get their teeth stuck into this contest. Do join us in about five minutes to see how MP's reply pans out!

Avesh Khan to Mukesh Kumar, OUT, Avesh has two in two, and that will be that for this innings! Banged into the track on leg stump. Mukesh gets into an awkward tangle and has a fend at it. He does not get his gloves out of the way, though, as the ball flicks the glove, pops up off the shoulder and nestles into the keeper's gloves!
Mukesh Kumar c †Mantri b Avesh Khan 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Mukesh Kumar is the last man in

Avesh Khan to Saini, OUT, gone this time! Length delivery just outside off stump. Saini continues swinging like a rusty gate and on this occasion, slices his attempted slog badly. The ball spirals towards third man, where Kartikeya makes up plenty of ground and snaps up a superb catch diving forward!

Avesh Khan to Saini, FOUR, oh, hello! Length delivery outside off stump. Saini clears his front leg and smears it over mid wicket for a boundary!
Avesh back into the attack. Can he bag these last two wickets quickly?
