SZ vs CZ Live Cricket Score

25.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Ohh, what an unfortunate way to get out. It's South Zone's key batter who has to go. South Zone are in deep trouble. This is full and on middle, Tanmay Agarwal tucks it to deep square leg for an easy couple of runs. Both batters were ball watching as they ran across for the second run but instead bumped into each other, allowing the fielding team to come into play. Danish Malewar throws it near the stumps, where Akshay Wadkar collects the throw at short leg and clips the bails off with ease at the batting end. A comedic way to get out!  47/3

16 OUT! BOWLED! Through the gates! The pacers kept it tight but it's a spinner who gets the breakthrough. Central Zone deserve this wicket! Kumar Kartikeya goes a bit full and bowls the arm ball, which comes with the angle, on middle and skids a bit. Mohit Kale made up his mind, went for the big slog-sweep but missed and it goes through and hits the stumps.  27/1

21.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Kumar Kartikeya gets his second scalp of the day and the South Zone batters are running out of patience in the middle. Kumar keeps it full and right at the stumps, bowls it a bit slower. Smaran Ravichandran makes up his mind to go for the slog sweep and ends up lobbing it off the top edge, high in the air towards short mid-wicket. Saransh Jain, stationed there, settles under it and takes a good catch.  35/2

36.2 OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW, the umpire takes his time and eventually raises his dreaded finger. Ricky Bhui quickly reviews. Turning too much? Lands it around off, slightly fuller than the previous delivery. Ricky Bhui tries to play it straight this time, across the pads but gets beaten on the inside edge and gets hit slightly high on the pads. Review loads! No bat involved! Ball Tracking shows it clips the bails on the leg stump. On-field call stays. Saransh Jain gets a wicket now.  65/5

30 OUT! BOWLED! Absolute beauty from Kumar Kartikeya to get rid of the captain. A dream delivery for any bowler! Squares up the batter with a nice flat delivery with not much pace behind it, lands it on leg and turns it sharply away. Mohammed Azharuddeen drags his foot back to defend but gets beaten on the outside edge and it shatters the off stump.  57/4

48.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Saransh Jain strikes again! Keeps it full and around off, slower through the air, which allows the ball to spin away from the batter. Salman Nizar is enticed to defend on his front foot, but the extra bounce results in the ball catching the shoulder of the bat and lobbing to the right of silly point. The silly point fielder sticks out his right hand and palms it behind in front of the gully fielder. Rajat Patidar at gully is quick to put the dive in front and complete the catch.  116/7

43 OUT! STUMPED! Mind games! The bowler wins against the batter. Saransh Jain anticipates the batter to use his feet and therefore, this is tossed up, slower through the air and outside off. Andre Siddarth uses his feet to drive but gets beaten by the flight and turn. It goes between the pad and the bat and the keeper, Upendra Yadav collects to his left and whips the bails off in a flash.  97/6

63 OUT! LBW! FIVE WICKETS FOR SARANSH! Attacking the front pad from around the wicket, on a length and it is quicker through the air. Ankit is forward in defence but the arm ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits the front pad below the knee roll. A massive appeal and the finger goes up. Ankit Sharma has reviewed it straight away. Did he get an inside edge? The UltraEdge shows a flat line when the ball is next to the bat. It is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the top of the middle stump. South Zone have been bowled out for 149!  149/10

53.1 OUT! A loud shout and the finger is raised! Seemed to be sliding down leg. Gurjapneet Singh has taken the review. Speared in from around the wicket by Kumar, on a nagging length, on middle and leg, Singh goes on the back foot to defend but plays down the wrong line. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball catches him on the knee roll of the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat. The Ball Tracking comes up as an umpire's call with the ball clipping the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld. Kumar Kartikeya has his fourth wicket.  129/8

56.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Saransh Jain takes matters into his own hands! Saransh offers flight, on a length, MD Nidheesh is not quite to the pitch of the ball and looks to firm the drive down the ground.

33.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Bowls in the corridor on the three-quarter length, Danish Malewar hangs back and pokes at the delivery. The ball catches the shoulder of the bat due to the extra bounce and flies behind to first slip.

22.5 OUT! BOWLED! Vasuki Koushik gets the opening wicket. Vasuki Koushik keeps bowling the Test match line, just outside off and waits for the one that nips back in sharply.

30 OUT! BOWLED'EM! The change of angle has finally paid off for Gurjapneet Singh! Singh pitches it up on a good length and keeps it just outside off, gets the ball to jag back in sharply. Shubham Sharma goes for the expansive drive on off, but the ball takes the inside edge and chops it back into the stumps.  74/2

67.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! South Zone finally have a breakthrough. 100 and out for Rajat Patidar! He'll feel a bit disappointed. Gurjapneet Singh bangs it short and directs it on middle and leg. Rajat Patidar stands tall to pull but gets a faint edge to the keeper, Mohammed Azharuddeen, who makes no mistake. A fist bump between the batters. They have set a huge platform for Central Zone. The 167-run partnership is broken. Central Zone lead by 111 runs.  260/4

Central Zone end their innings at a mammoth 511 with a massive lead of 362 runs!  511/10

18.1 OUT! BOWLED! The change of angle works immediately for Kuldeep Sen! After bowling most of the session from over the wicket, he switches the angle and comes from around the wicket. Serves it on a length, slanting in towards the off pole. It is too close to leave, but an error in judgment results in Tanmay shouldering arms. The ball flicks the back thigh and clips the off stump, enough to dislodge the right bail. Agarwal is asked to wait as it is referred upstairs. The replays confirm that it was indeed the ball that made contact with the off pole, resulting in the bail coming off.  76/2

16 OUT! LBW! A convincing appeal and the finger is raised! This looks straight but after a chat with his partner, Mohit Kale has taken the review.

The ball lands and spins past the inside edge to hit the front pad right in front of the stumps. No bat involved and it is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the leg stump.

42.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Full and wide outside off, Ricky Bhui gets lured into the drive and goes for it.

A good take from the skipper of Central Zone.  221/5

The umpires check and it shows that MD Nidheesh was short. South Zone are down to their last wicket now!  420/9

121 OUT! STUMPED! Floated wide of off, from round the wicket, Vasuki Koushik looks to push this towards cover but falls over and gets beaten.
