Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s coverage of the first round of matches in the Ranji Trophy 2015-16 season as Jammu & Kashmir (J & K) take on Kerala in Day Four of a Group C fixture at Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium at Srinagar. Tons from Sanju Samson and Sachin Baby on Day Three have ensured that Kerala start the fourth and final day of the game on top with a healthy lead of 155 runs. They might look to add a few more and try and force a win by forcing the Jammu and Kashmir batsmen under pressure with their bowling. READ: Ranji Trophy 2015-16: Sanju Samson’s litmus Test as Kerala captain

Kerala were in a spot of bother when they were reduced to 165 for 3 but the pair of Sanju Samson and Sachin Baby kept the Jammu and Kashmir bowlers at bay. Both of them notched up their tons but just when it looked like they might run away with the game. Samson was dismissed by Ram Dayal for 101. Baby though carried onto score 151 before falling to Rasool who struck again to get rid of Monish Kareparambil. With just two wickets in hand, Kerala might look to add a few quick runs to the total and look to bowl out the hosts for a low score and try and gain six points. Teams generally struggle to win away from home and this might be a golden chance for Kerala to start their season with an away win. Parvez Rasool was the best bowler for J&K with 2 for 92 but he will know his batsmen will be tested on the final day of the game.
