The Ranji Trophy One-Day Tournament kicks off tomorrow with ten matches around the country

Saurashtra polished off Rajasthan for 173 and claimed victory by an innings and 34 runs in the Ranji Trophy Plate Group final at Rajkot

Sandeep Jobanputra turned in a fine day at the office, first hitting 54 to extend Saurashtra's overnight score of 250 for 6 to 408, and then bagging five wickets to leave Rajasthan in arrears

Saurashtra took a vital first-innings lead thanks to half-centuries from Sagar Jogiyani and Jaydev Shah as they ended the second day at 250 for 6, 49 runs ahead

Mohammad Kaif lead Uttar Pradesh to their first-ever Ranji Trophy final victory when the hosts beat Bengal on the basis of their first-innings lead

Saurashta took the honours on the first day of the Ranji Trophy Plate Group final at Rajkot against Rajasthan

Mohammad Kaif was the decisive factor in Uttar Pradesh's surge to - and eventual clinching of - their maiden Ranji Trophy Final title

On a day when everything hinged on who would take the first-innings lead, Uttar Pradesh held their nerve to dismiss Bengal 14 runs short of their target and build a platform from which they look hard-pressed to lose

Dubious umpiring and some unintelligent bowling by the hosts left both Uttar Pradesh and Bengal hanging desperately on the edge with two more days to go in the Ranji Trophy final
