Jayant Yadav runs through Saurashtra with seven

Jayant Yadav picked up career-best figures - 7 for 64 - to ensure Saurashtra were kept to 238 in Rajkot. The initial breakthroughs were made by legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal, before Jayant took over with his offspin. The Saurashtra batsmen were guilty of not making the most of their starts - both Sheldon Jackson and Sagar Jogiyani got into the 40s, but neither got to fifty. The only half-century came from Chirag Jani, who ended the day unbeaten on 54. Haryana's batsmen weren't too solid in reply, either, the team falling to 36 for 3 by the 15th over. Opener Rahul Dewan and the hero with the ball, Jayant, then played out more than double those overs to get them to a more respectable 74 for 3 by stumps.

An unbroken 106-run stand between Vineet Saxena and Chetan Bist rescued Rajasthan from a wobbly 85 for 5, lifting them to 191 by stumps. The damage at the top, for Odisha, was done by Basant Mohanty and Deepak Behera, who took two apiece. A run-out did not help either, Puneet Yadav found shot of his crease by Govinda Podder for 15. Amid the carnage, opener Saxena held firm, making his way to 87 off 250 balls. Chetan Bist was equally dogged at the other end, his 51 runs on the day coming off 141 balls.

An 87-run partnership between Shalabh Srivastava and Rakesh Dhurv rescued Vidarbha from a precarious position and lifted them to 236, against Gujarat in Surat. Vidarbha won the toss and opted to bat, but they soon found themselves floundering at 138 for 7 after Ramesh Powar rocked their top order on his way to collecting 5 for 87. Gujarat would've hoped to quickly wrap up the innings, but Dhurv and Shrivastava battled for 107 minutes to drag the team past 200. Dhurv eventually fell for 29, while Shrivastava was left stranded on 95, having stroked 10 fours. Gujarat, in reply, were 39 for 0 when stumps were called, with Smit Patel and Priyank Kirit Panchal still at the crease.
