Ranji Trophy Final Highlights Karnataka vs Jammu And Kashmir Day 3: Auqib Nabi Puts J&K In Command

Welcome back for Jammu and Kashmir's innings. They haven't enforced a follow on. Qamran Iqbal and Yawer Hassan open up with their blades for Jammu and Kashmir. Vijaykumar Vyshak has the new ball in hand. Let's go...

... THIRD INNINGS ...

A lone warrior! For Karnataka, Mayank Agarwal played a commendable innings but got little to no support from the top order. Shreyas Gopal and Kruthik Krishna were involved in a couple of partnerships with Mayank Agarwal but the mammoth total that Jammu and Kashmir put up required a better performance from Karnataka's batters. Jammu and Kashmir haven't enforced the follow-on. So, they lead by 291 runs. Can J&K end the session well?

Nabi, the hero of J&K! Jammu & Kashmir delivered a commanding performance. The headline of the day was undoubtedly Nabi, who continued his stellar form by claiming his 7th five-wicket haul of the season, further cementing his role as the spearhead of the bowling attack. Sunil Kumar and Yudhvir Singh supported him dearly but it was Lotra who started Karnataka's downfall as he broke the 79-run partnership between Kruthik Krishna and Mayank Agarwal that induced Karnataka's fall.

One hand on the trophy! A wonderful performance from Jammu and Kashmir, and they have taken the first-innings lead. As it's Day 4, and a result seems almost impossible. The first innings score could potentially have the last say and Jammu and Kashmir have done the job.

OUT! TAKEN! Yudhvir Singh ends it for Jammu and Kashmir. On a length, on off, Prasidh Krishna stays back and looks to loft it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. The ball carries towards mid on where Sunil Kumar makes no mistake. Karnataka have been bowled out for 293 runs!

A fifer for Auqib Nabi. What a bowler. Prasidh Krishna is the last batter.

OUT! LBW! What a review from Auqib Nabi again. On a length, on off, Shikhar Shetty looks to block it but gets a blow on his pads. A loud appeal for lbw but nothing from the umpire. Auqib Nabi is convinced and he sends it upstairs to have a check. Ultra Edge shows a flat line and Ball Tracking shows three reds again. The onfield decision is overturned to OUT. A fifer for Auqib Nabi. Jammu and Kashmir are just one wicket away now from getting that first innings lead.

Dropped! Length, outside off, and it shapes away. Shikhar Shetty looks to play at it but gets a thick edge. The ball carries to the right of the keeper who dives but spills the catch.
