121.2 gone this time! Length delivery just outside off stump. Saini continues swinging like a rusty gate and on this occasion, slices his attempted slog badly. The ball spirals towards third man, where Kartikeya makes up plenty of ground and snaps up a superb catch diving forward! 484/9

121.3 Avesh has two in two, and that will be that for this innings! Banged into the track on leg stump. Mukesh gets into an awkward tangle and has a fend at it.

1.1 edged and it carries through to second slip! Madhya Pradesh are in disarray! Length delivery in the channel that nips away just a shade. Mantri, much like Aquil, has a loose prod at it and gets a thick outside edge that is snaffled up excellently by second slip! 2/2

Easwaran has to go! 103/2

Straightforward decision for the umpire as Mayank walks off, shaking his head! 1/1

62.6 cleans him up with a beauty! Tossed up on a length on off stump, and this one just grips in the surface. The ball spins sharply and Jaiswal, for a change, does not quite gauge how much it will turn.

41.5 oh dear! Length delivery just outside off stump. Sheth nudges it into the off side and sets off for the single. Jaiswal initially responds before sending his partner back.

Sheth is not happy with Jaiswal, and the youngster might have to take a share of the blame for that dismissal! 183/6

44.4 huge appeal, and that looks very plumb! Flighted on a length on off stump and this one continues with the arm. Saurabh plays for the turn, and eventually, down the wrong line.

Just the start RoI were after; just what MP did not want! 0/1

29.3 Given caught behind, Mantri stands his ground and is having a word with the umpire but the fielders celebrate. Rohan Pandit sends Mantri away, he stands on the edge of square and eventually walks back as the umpires uphold the decision. It was a back-of-length ball that pitched in line and zipped away. Mantri was on the back foot, looked to defend it with an angled bat towards the cover region but withdrew the bat late. Went next to the sticker, the keeper and the fielders went up right away. Replays show it didn't take the edge, no sound detected on the stump mic. Mantri lifted his palm, facing the sky, to express disappointment. He was miffed with the decision right away and didn't want to leave, didn't for a while but had to budge. 81/3

55.4 Keeps low, hits pad and is given lbw. Narang was celebrappealing after bowling an off-spinning ball that landed on a length well outside off and spun in sharply.

32.2 Past the defence, off stump knocked back. Length ball pitches just outside off, curves in but straightens off the pitch. Dubey played for some more inward movement and looked to defend it straight but it went past the outside edge and sent off peg cartwheeling. Mukesh shows Dubey the directions to the pavilion 94/4

45.3 Leg stump cartwheels. Solanki tried blocking the length ball with the straight bat off the back foot. Replays show Solanki was stuck on the crease, the ball jagged back and beat the defence. Third wicket of the session has half Rest of India five wickets away from the win 143/5

47.1 Wide half-volley takes the edge off the cover drive, easy catch for the keeper. Jain reached out and went with the full follow-through but could only nick it 151/6

56.6 Down the pitch, swipes across the line and misses the ball. Keeper completes the stumping. Kushwah went down early and Saurabh kept it slow but shortened the length. It was outside off and the batter tried to slash over cover but missed it. Looked to have gone lower than he expected 188/8

57.6 Spooned back to the bowler. Was a full ball tossed up outside off, Agarwal tried to work it across towards long-on. But he didn't exert enough force to turn it across. Just went at an easy pace to the right of the bowler 192/9

58.4 Beaten on the sweep, hits the pad and it's given out straight away. Was on off and the length ball kept low. Kartikeya went on one knee and tried to whack it through square leg but the shooter went below the bat and hit the pad. Saurabh knew it was it gone 198/10
