Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of Day 1 of the Group C game of the Ranji Trophy 2015-16 match between Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, live from Keenan Stadium at Jamshedpur. Jharkhand finally got off the mark after a good performance against Kerala in the previous round three of the competition, beating them by 113 runs. Skipper Varun Aaron bowled exceptionally well picking up a five-wicket haul in the first innings, which will surely give him a lot of confidence moving in this round. But it was Shahbaz Nadeem’s seven-wicket haul in the second innings that stole the show. Goa on the other hand are still unbeaten in the competition, but have conceded the first innings lead n three occasions, which they will want to rectify when they face Jharkhand.
