Bhatt, Axar complete Gujarat's innings win

Gujarat took seven Baroda wickets in 37.4 overs to earn a bonus point with an innings-and-46-run win on the last day in Valsad. Baroda started the day on 81 for 4 with Ambati Rayudu and Yusuf Pathan, still trailing by 172 runs, and could score only 126 more to finish the match without any points, while Gujarat got seven.

Gujarat were led by offspinner Rujul Bhatt who finished with 4 for 48 after taking three wickets on the last day. While Rayudu continued to resist, the fifth-wicket stand was broken by Jasprit Bumrah who had Yusuf caught behind for 8 in the second over of the day to leave Baroda on 85 for 5. Irfan Pathan resisted for more than an hour along with Rayudu for a partnership of 41 runs but was eventually dismissed by Bhatt for 15. Rayudu also fell soon enough for 43, also to Bhatt, before Hardik Pandya counterattacked with a 51-ball 43 that featured six fours and a six.

He didn't get much support from the tail as Bhatt and Axar kept picking wickets. Pandya took the score past 200 but it wasn't enough to make Gujarat bat again. Axar finished with 4 for 71 after taking three wickets in the first innings.

Abhishek Nayar and Vishal Dabholkar combined to pick up five wickets on the final day and earn Mumbai a first-innings lead against Uttar Pradesh as their Group B game petered out into a dull draw in Mumbai. With only first-innings points on offer going into the fourth day, Uttar Pradesh's overnight batsmen Eklavya Dwivedi and Piyush Chawla began well in pursuit of Mumbai's first-innings score of 610. However, Nayar had them both caught as Uttar Pradesh slipped to 416 for 7. Dabholkar then removed the tail, picking up the last three wickets for just 15 runs as the visitors were bowled out for 440.

Dwivedi, promoted to open the innings after Uttar Pradesh were asked to follow on, was dismissed for the second time in the day after Dabholkar trapped him in front in the 11th over for 6. Himanshu Asnora and Umang Sharma then struck unbeaten fifties - 68 and 62 respectively - as Mumbai held on to their top position in the Group B points table.

Rain finally relented after washing out the second, third and much of the fourth day's play but left just enough time to entice Tamil Nadu to seek first-innings points by pursuing Andhra's total of 203. The openers - B Aparajith and Abhinav Mukund - started patiently before Aparajith was caught in the sixth over. Dinesh Karthik provided the required impetus to the innings with a quickfire 29 off 23 before Prasanth Kumar ran out both Abhinav and Karthik.

However, B Indrajith and R Sathish gave Tamil Nadu hope with a 55-run fifth-wicket stand in just 63 balls before Prasanth effected another run-out, effectively scuppering any chances of a lead. Tamil Nadu lost two more wickets and, with the score at 164 for 7, both teams shook hands.
