Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the first day’s play in the third round matches of the Ranji Trophy 2014-15.

Railways will have to dig deep to stop the onslaught of defending champions Karnataka in their home Ranji Trophy cricket tie beginning at the Karnail Singh Stadium on Sunday.

Karnataka have continued their imperious form of last season with comprehensive victories over Tamil Nadu and Bengal in Group A.

Railways go into the contest, having taken three points each from their draws against Madhya Pradesh and Mumbai at home. Their faster bowlers fired on both occasions, helping the team get the crucial first innings lead.

They will be expecting a lot from opening bowling combination of Anureet Singh and Krishnakant Upadhyay, who posed serious problems for the batsmen in the first two matches sharing 21 wickets among each other, reported PTI.
