Karnataka vs Rest of Ind, at Bengaluru, Mar 17 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Karnataka retain the Irani Cup. Manish Pandey manages to pluck out a stump as a souvenir after running out Aaron. Uthappa collects a stump as well. J Arunkumar and Mansur Ali Khan come out and join the frenzy. Bouncer on the leg stump, Aaron gets into a tangle as he aims to fend it in front of square on the leg side. There is a brief communication breakdown - Aaron wants a single and sets off. Ojha is too late and the fielder (Agarwal) passes the ball to Manish, who tips the bails off to catch Ojha short. He is utterly disappointed and that delivers the coup de grace on RoI. The Karnataka juggernaut, though, rumbles on - the unbeaten streak has been extended to 29
