Scorecard

Kerala had to settle for just three points instead of six against Jammu & Kashmir in Srinagar, as the visitors ran out of time in their small chase of 71. Kerala, who had secured a lead of 155 on the penultimate day, declared at 485 for 8 in the morning, meaning they had 90 overs to bowl J&K out and clinch an innings win. Despite regular strikes from Raiphi Gomez and Rohan Prem, the hosts, buoyed by half-centuries from Adil Reshi (54) and Ian Dev Singh (50), managed their way to 225. It meant Kerala had eight overs to try and gun down 71 for an outright victory, but the team could only make 44, losing four wickets in the process.
