After a commandable innings, a good partnership between Bawne and Yusuf is broken. Yusuf, who went to steer the innings after a couple of fours and sixes finally departs after tea.

Y Pathan -73 (73)

Pathan looks ominous with 6&4 after tea but falls soon after. Out for 73 off 73. 245/6 now after 66.5. @IExpressSports #duleeptrophy

200 comes up for West Zone as Bawne and Yusuf hold on to their game and keep steering the West Zone’s innings ahead.

Bawne works nadeem for a single to long on to bring up the 200. He moves to 84. Pathan on 35. @IExpressSports #duleeptrophy

It could well have been three for Dinda, but was denied by Manoj Tiwary who drops Yusuf Pathan at first slip.

May be ypathans day. Definately not dinda’s. M tiwary puts him down at first slip on 8. 148/5. @IExpressSports. #duleeptrophy

Yadav charges forward to play a short of length ball, but ends up giving it back to the bowler. It’s five down for the West Zone.

S Yadav – 31 (c & b Rana)

CZ slip further. Sk yadav makes a premeditated charge to a short of length ball. C&b rana dutta for 31. 121/5 .@IExpressSports #duleeptrophy

It’s going to be an interesting post-lunch session as it can go either way.

Tare – 4, Zol – 17, Pujara – 10, Parthiv – 1,

It has been Dinda’s day so far after already claiming a couple.

West Zone 73/4 in reply to East’s 278 at Lahli. Suryakumar Yadav (31) and Ankit Bawne (22)re battling it out. Dinda claimed two.

Bawne is lucky here. Edges off a ball from Mohanty between gully and third slip as the fielders look on to each other, but either of them failing to reach for the ball.

Bawne gets a life on 9. third slip & gully look at each other as edge off mohanty. Can he make it count. @IExpressSports #duleeptrophy

West Zone 47/4 . @vhzol out. East Zone 278/10

It’s Vijay Zol now walking back to the pavilion. That’s a poor dismissal, failing to read the ball properly. It was a straight ball as he goes on to leave the ball, but it clips the bail to dismiss the batsman.

V Zol – 17

Oh no Zol!. He leaves a straight one that clips off bail. Out for 17. Lahli living up to reputation at 47/4. @IExpressSports #duleeptrophy

— jonathan selvaraj (@jon_selvaraj) October 16, 2014

It’s a cheeky dismissal for Parthiv Patel who again gifts a simple catch to Saha off Dinda. Dinda is on a roll here.

@IExpressSports 40/3! Parthiv gloves dinda down leg to saha. #duleeptrophy.

— jonathan selvaraj (@jon_selvaraj) October 16, 2014

@IExpressSports contest bw Dinda & pujara. Pujara gets four to fine leg in between ball that beats him and a close lbw shout #duleeptrophy.

— jonathan selvaraj (@jon_selvaraj) October 16, 2014

Now this is interesting! Pujara manages to get a boundary towards fine leg, however he survives an lbw call for the ball that struck him on to the pads.

@IExpressSports Dinda gets one to jump frm length. Tare can only fend head high catch to wk saha. 18/1 Enter pujara. #duleep trophy

Aditya Tare walks back after gifting a cath to Wriddhiman Saha off Ashok Dinda after the ball bounced pitching on the length. Time for Cheteshwar Pujara to get in to the act.
