Punjab overhauled Jharkhand's first-innings total of 401 on a wicket that didn't have anything in it for the bowlers to ensure themselves of a semi-final showdown against Saurashtra with a day to spare in Jamshedpur
Punjab batsman Taruwar Kohli scored a triple-century, the fifth in the Ranji season so far, and lit up an otherwise inconsequential day in Jamshedpur
Punjab overhauled Jharkhand's first-innings total of 401 on a wicket that didn't have anything in it for the bowlers to ensure themselves of a semi-final showdown against Saurashtra with a day to spare in Jamshedpur
On what was the first full day's play in Jamshedpur, Punjab held the upper hand in all three sessions to put them on course to taking the advantage against the hosts Jharkhand
Punjab captain Harbhajan Singh has been fined 50% of his match fee for showing dissent at the umpire's decision on the second day of their Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Jharkhand in Jamshedpur
Poor visibility in Jamshedpur, due to fog, meant that only 40 overs were possible during the second day, resulting in over two sessions of play lost due to bad weather over the two days
