A heartbreaking end to Priyansh Arya’s innings. He is bowled on 199 by part-time off-spinner Manan Hingrajia. The ball appeared to keep a tad low.

Lalith traps Siraj leg before and that brings the curtains down on Hyderabad’s first innings. 275 all out. All 10 wickets scalped by spinners.

Andhra has two overs to navigate before stumps. Is there one final drama on the cards?

The ball does go where the fans are, but it is Rahul Radesh who makes it happen. And with it, he brings up a 102-ball half-century. Patient knock by him while five partners fell at the other end. And he’s down with cramps immediately…

Hyderabad 269/9 in 84.4 overs

Siddhesh Lad and Musheer Khan are rebuilding patiently, in no hurry to force the pace. Under a blazing sun, fans have braved the heat to watch the action.

Even more cheers now, the loudest it has been all day, as Siraj sends the ball sailing over long off for a six.

Hyderabad 211/7 in 70 overs.

CV Milind is caught leg before by Lalith and Hyderabad loses another wicket, right after getting to 200. Aggressive from Andhra as they look to bowl out the visitors by the end of the day. Can Aniketh Reddy and Rahul Radesh hold on till the end of the day’s play?

Gurjapneet Singh gets his 4th wicket. Removes Devendra Bora caught at slips. Came around the wicket and a well-directed short ball into the ribs. Uttarakhand 132/9

Big blow for Hyderabad in the penultimate over before tea.

Ayush Badoni notches up a brisk half-century. Has looked very fluent particularly with his drives. Giving able company to centurion Priyansh Arya.

Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

Just as I type, Sai Kishore returns and gives the breakthrough. a rush of blood from Avneesh just after getting to his 50. Tries to step down and heave Sai Kishore into orbit and completely misses it and Jagadeesan whips off the bails in a flash. 110/7

Considering the situation a needless shot from Avneesh that has undid all his good work.

Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

1st innings summary for HP vs Mumbai

Mumbai’s bowlers struck from the outset after captain Siddhesh Lad elected to bowl, with Tushar Deshpande trapping Shubham Arora leg before with the first ball of the innings before removing the experienced Nehal Wadhera shortly afterwards.

Mohit Avasthi and Sylvester D’Souza maintained the pressure, with Innesh Mahajan also falling cheaply. Captain Pukhraj Mann and Vaibhav Kalta briefly stemmed the slide with a 62-run stand for the fourth wicket before Tanush Kotian dismissed Kalta.

D’Souza then struck twice in successive deliveries, with substitute wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore taking two excellent catches after Akash Anand reported discomfort in his finger.

The picturesque Luhnu Cricket Ground surface offered good bounce, which Mumbai’s bowlers exploited with disciplined lines and lengths. Himachal continued to lose wickets in clusters, eventually folding for 140.

Akash Vasisth provided some late resistance with a 39 off 59 balls, entertaining the sizeable crowd. Fresh from a century in the tournament opener, he failed to convert the start into another substantial score, falling to Deshpande, who finished with four wickets.

Hyderabad 102/2, 34.1 overs.

Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

The procession continues... Sai Kishore gets his 2nd wicket. Saurabh Rawat is caught at silly point. turn and bounce for the TN skipper. Probably too early to judge a pitch based on one team’s efforts. But if it continues to behave like this, this could well be a low-scoring encounter. Uttarakhand 44/6.

Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

Just after lunch, TN strikes again. This one a gift from the opposition. J. Suchith is run out scampering for a quick single at the striker’s end. A fine direct-hit from R. Vimal Khumar inside the ring on the leg-side. Uttarkhand 43/5

LUNCH. Hyderabad 119/1 after 33 overs. Abhirath Reddy walks off to cheers and applause. He has put the visitors in a strong position in Mulapadu and Andhra will be hoping to regroup and get back into the contest when play resumes.

On a personal front, I am looking forward to what promises (and smells!) like delicious Andhra lunch. Been told highly about the food by Sudarshan, who was here for the Andhra vs. Karnataka match a few days ago.

Delhi reaches 130 for two in 31 overs at lunch against Gujarat. Priyansh Arya unbeaten on 79 off 99 balls. Ayush Doseja is 20 not out.

Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

Sai Kishore and Ajith Ram have taken over the pacers. There is enough assistance for the spinners already, with both bowlers spinning it past the right-handers. It is a red-soil pitch and it seems the moisture in the surface is helping the tweakers as well.

Andhra would’ve loved to strike early like it did against Karnataka, but so far, it has been a struggle. Lalith Mohan, who could do no wrong with the ball against Karnataka, has been the costliest so far, going at 5.8. Other spinners (Tripurana Vijay and Saurabh Kumar) have an economy of 4 or more.

Kerala lose its fourth wicket as Soumya ends the 40-run stand between Vishnu Vinod and Sachin Baby. Vishnu is caught behind for 21. Kerala 58/4

TN pacers Gurjapneet Singh and Saravana Kumar have started well. Have used the overcast conditions well getting good swing.

An interesting company to watch cricket

I have interesting company today in Justin Paul, a friend and former teammate of Gary Stead, the Andhra head coach. The last time Justin was in India was around 34 years ago, he recalls, as part of the New Zealand under-23 team touring. The Indian U23 captain then? Rahul Dravid, he says.

Hyderabad bring up 50 in 14 overs. Tanmay 21 and Abhirath 29. Good start from the visitors, who have played very smartly. Eight boundaries and 60 dot balls. Andhra bowlers have, so far, failed to trouble either batter.

Himachal Pradesh vs Mumbai

Mumbai dominated the first session, reducing Himachal Pradesh to 48 for three, despite a dropped catch.

K.V. Sasikanth replaces Lalith Mohan in the eighth over, paving way for Lalith to bowl from the pavilion end. And Lalith is convinced the change in ends has made an immediate impact, with huge shouts for LBW. Umpire, however, is convinced and says the ball was moving away.

Hyderabad 37/0 after 9 overs.

Saurashtra wins the toss and elects to field. Karnataka hands debuts to Rohan Patil and Aneeshwar Gautam, who have come in for R. Smaran and KL Rahul, reports N. Sudarshan from Alur.

Three changes in bowling. Shreyas Gopal, Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak in; Madhav Bajaj, Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal out. Karnataka is pace heavy, and understandably so. Overcast conditions and not expected to be a very dry surface, Sudarshan adds.

Innesh Mahajan falls to Mohit Avasthi. Himachal Pradesh loses it’s third wicket as Mumbai makes most of the conditions - Shayan Acharya

Kerala has lost two quick wickets with Odisha pacers Rajesh Mohanty and Lalit Yadav making optimum use of the conditions. Abhishek J. Nair plays a loose shot off Rajesh and is caught at point by Soumya for a duck. Jalaj looked pretty uncomfortable in the middle and Lalit Yadav ends his misery by having him caught at second slip by Sandeep for a duck. Kerala two down for three. - MR Praveen Chandran

Toss at 10.15 a.m. Play to start at 10.30 and will go on till 5.30 pm, reports Dipak Ragav.

A first ball wicket for Tushar Deshpande! Himachal loses its first wicket without opening the account. - Shayan Acharya from Bilaspur.

Play to begin at 10 am at Alur in the Karnataka vs Saurashtra match, reports N. Sudarshan.

Next inspection at 9.45 am here in Chepauk. The main concern is the outfield hasn’t dried fast enough with very little sunshine so far, reports S. Dipak Ragav from Chennai.

Quite a scenic venue, Mulapadu, for Andhra vs Hyderabad match
