Kerala declares the innings at 251/5 after Sachin Baby is run out for 94 by Rishabh Tiwari. Mohammad Azharuddeen remains not out on 50. The target for Chhattisgarh is 290.

Kerala 245/4 at lunch with an overall lead of 283. Sachin Baby is batting on 91 and Azhar on 47. The fifth wicket stand between the two batters is worth 96 runs.

Kerala continues to score at a fast clip. The lead has crossed 250. Sachin Baby moves into the 70s and Azharuddeen is also playing another breezy knock keeping pace with Baby.

Result: Tamil Nadu wins by seven wickets

Tamil Nadu has made light work of the run chase as the Sai Kishore-led side beats Goa by seven wickets. Opener S Lokeshwar stars with the bat with a half-century, and so does Pradosh Paul, who scored a 125-ball 65 to guide his team to a wonderful win. Goa losing at home will have a lot of thinking to do.

Kerala has gone for quick runs in the morning session. Vishnu Vinod set the tone with a rapid knock before being bowled by Ajay Mandal. Sanju made a brisk 24 before holing out. Kerala 150/4. Sachin Baby batting on 41.

S Lokeshwar and Pradosh Paul have scored half-centuries, as Tamil Nadu needs just another 29 runs to win. The partnership is worth 95 off 218 deliveries, and it’s a matter of time that the team knocks off the runs. 

Runs are coming thick and fast for Tamil Nadu as Lokeshwar is nearing his half-century. Pradosh Paul isn’t taking many risks, as Tamil Nadu needs another 53 runs to win the match.

Sanju Samson is out there in the middle and is off the mark. Sachin Baby is unbeaten on 18 as the duo aim to build the lead for Kerala. The 100 is up for Kerala as both batsmen will look to bat through the opening session. 

Opener S Lokeshwar and Pradosh Paul have begun Tamil Nadu’s chase and the side needs just 73 runs to beat Goa and pocket full points. Wonderful opportunity for the R Sai Kishore-led side to make a statement.
