2.14pm RoI are all out for 246, thanks largely to an emphatic 144 from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who ran riot for the second time in the match. A total of 357 runs (213 and 144) for him in the match, the most by a batter in an Irani Cup game. MP came back well in the first session, picking wickets in a flurry, but Jaiswal held forte. He fell after lunch but had done enough damage by then. Avesh Khan, Ankit Kushwah, Saransh Jain and Shubham Sharma all picked two wickets each.

Sharma to Mukesh Kumar, OUT, Loud appeal again as the batter goes forward, misses and a stumping is effected. The third umpire is called for. The keeper looks very confident. He is almost walking back. Yep, Mukesh's foot is on the line when the stumps are taken off. Two in two for Shubham and MP need 437 to win!

Sharma to Saini, OUT, Raps him plumb in front of the stumps and Saini is a goner! One of the easier decisions for the umpire and Shubham is elated! Quicker delivery on middle and leg, Saini goes back playing of turn. There isn't any and he is caught bang in front. The ball would have thudded into middle and leg stump. Gone for a 21-ball duck.
