- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR42 full delivery angled into the batter on middle and leg stump. Gaikwad comes forward and clips it towards deep mid wicket. Gaikwad is intent on the second but is sent back by his partner. Gaikwad stretches to regain his ground but is caught inches short by an accurate throw from the deep. What an anti-climactic end to what was a stunning knock! 199/34.2 Bull's eye! And that is seldom a good sign for the batter. Pavan is short despite the dive and has to walk back. Unadkat bowled it on a length around middle and leg, Pavan was on the back foot as he flicked it towards midwicket. Yet he called for the single and couldn't beat Jani's throw. Excellent fielding. 8/124.4 Gone! With the pressure building, Bachhav looked to play the big shot as he got a full delivery around off but he finds Chirag Jani at long-on, who takes a simple catch 74/231.3 edged and taken! Length delivery outside off stump that angles in before straightening off the surface. Bawne goes feeling for it and gets a thick outside edge that flies towards second slip, where the fielder snaffles up the chance. That's a smart catch, and a wonderful bit of bowling! Maharashtra slip further into trouble! 105/343.4 Holes out to long-on. It was a full toss outside off and Kazi tried to clear the rope again, but hit it straight to Jani who takes a simple catch 205/548.1 Timber! Nawale was backing away, exposing his stumps and Jani nails him with the yorker 234/648.2 Beauty! Jani bowls another yorker and Hangargekar can't get his bat down on time. That's two in two for Jani 234/748.3 That's a hat-trick! Pitched it up and Ostwal misses his flick as he is pinged right in front. What a moment for Jani! 234/850 Naushad couldn't connect with the full ball outside off and the ball popped up back to the bowler. But Choudhary had already sprinted down to the striker's end and Kushang walks to the stumps and takes the bails off as the innings comes to an end 248/8Extras10 (b 4, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL248/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.96)Did not bat: MD IngaleFall of wickets: 1-8 (Pavan Shah, 4.2 ov), 2-74 (Satyajeet Bachhav, 24.4 ov), 3-105 (Ankit Bawne, 31.3 ov), 4-199 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 41.6 ov), 5-205 (Azim Kazi, 43.4 ov), 6-234 (Saurabh Nawale, 48.1 ov), 7-234 (Rajvardhan Hangargekar, 48.2 ov), 8-234 (Vicky Ostwal, 48.3 ov), 9-248 (Mukesh Choudhary, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR26.4 Caught at midwicket! Short ball on middle and leg and it stopped on Harvik Desai. He looked to whip it away on the leg side but gets a leading edge that loops up straight to Bachhav 125/127 Edged behind! Mukesh Choudhary angles it across him and draws the outside edge. 26 overs with no wicket and now Maharashtra have two. The seamer lets out a scream in celebration 125/232.2 Another breakthrough! Loud shout of "catch it" as Samarth steps out to take on Ostwal, and Pavan Shah at long-off obliges. Saurashtra lose their third wicket 147/338.2 gone this time! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface and bounces a tad extra. Vasavada has a swipe at it but because he can't get on top of it enough, he splices it a touch towards deep mid wicket, where the fielder comes around and completes the catch comfortably 189/439.5 knocks him over! Drama in Ahmedabad! Flighted deliciously on a full length on off stump, and Mankad's eyes light up. He plants his front foot and looks to whip it away but is completely deceived in flight. He is nowhere close to the ball and it eventually sneaks past the bat before clipping the outside of the off stump! Maharashtra are fighting! 192/5Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL249/5 (46.3 Overs, RR: 5.35)Fall of wickets: 1-125 (Harvik Desai, 26.4 ov), 2-125 (Jay Gohil, 26.6 ov), 3-147 (Samarth Vyas, 32.2 ov), 4-189 (Arpit Vasavada, 38.2 ov), 5-192 (Prerak Mankad, 39.5 ov)
