Good Morning, Namaste! Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of Day 3, Round 5 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2016-17. I am Shruti Hariharan, and I will be bringing to you the live updates from today’s action. A couple of matches have unfortunately being called off within just a couple of days. The matches that were being played at Delhi, in the form of Gujarat vs Bengal, and Hyderabad vs Tripura, have been called off owing to heavy smog, that has resulted in no play for the opening couple of days, and the BCCI has stated that they would be rescheduling those matches, rather than just abandoning it.
