Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of Day 3 of the Group C game of the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy between Hyderabad and Jammu & Kashmir, live from Hyderabad. Hyderabad were 113 for the loss of two wickets at stumps yesterday i.e. on Day two of the match. This was in reply to Jammu & Kashmir’s hefty first innings score of 460. Parvez Rasool perished early in the morning yesterday, he made 75 while lower-order batsman Ram Dayal contributed with a well played 48. Both Hyderabad wickets which fell yesterday were claimed by Rohit Sharma. Hyderabad are still trailing by 347 runs as of now. Opener Tanmay Agarwal reached his half century and was batting on 57 at stumps yesterday with the help of eight boundaries and a six. Sudeep Tyagi is next in batting order if another wicket falls. Hyderabad fans will like that the partnership between Tanmay Agarwal and Akshath Reddy (which has already fetched them 31 runs) grows and takes them closer to J&K’s first innings score.

This high scoring encounter is heading towards a draw but still the other results cannot be ruled out.
J&K bowlers on the other hand should make sure that the efforts of their batsmen count who batted so brilliantly in the first day and the first session of the second day. They should try some variations in their bowling today, their bowling lacked variations yesterday. Just bowling a good line and length doesn’t works sometimes.
