And its stumps on Day 1, with Jharkhand trailing the hosts by another 124 runs OUT! SP Gautam retired hurt 5(9), Sumit Kumar c KK Acharjee b Rana Dutta 10(16)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE Tripura 166 in Overs 55; BATTING: AK Sarkar 1(2): The Tripura innings finally comes to an end with just 166 runs on board, with Rahul Shukla collecting six wickets for 40 runs. Kaushal Singh gets his first wicket of the match by bowling Rana Dutta out for 5.

LIVE CRICKET SCORE Tripura 114 for 7 in Overs 43; BATTING: Parvinder Singh 32 (74), Rana Dutta 4(18): Tripura undergo a dramatic collapse from their 30th over score of 72/3. Rahul Shukla takes two more wickets to take his total innings tally to four so far in the match, removing both Mura Singh and NN Sen Choudhury.

KK Acharjee c Sumit Kumar b Ajay 8(17), MB Mura Singh c Sumit Kumar b Rahul Shukla, NN Sen Choudhary c Sumit Kumar b Rahul Shukla 0(3), BS Das b Jaskaran Singh 18(19)
LIVE CRICKET SCORE Tripura 72 for 3 in Overs 30; BATTING: Parvinder Singh 21 (46), KK Acharjee 8(16): Jharkhand continue to step up the pressure against the Tripura batsmen, which results in the dismissal of Virag Awate for a score of 31 off 74 off the bowling of Jaskaran. Meanwhile, Parvinder Singh has moved to the 20s. OUT! Virag Awate lbw Jaskaran Singh 31(74)
TOSS: Jharkhand captain Shahbaz Nadeem won the toss and elected to field against Tripura in their Ranji Trophy 2015-16 match at Agartala on Sunday.
LIVE CRICKET SCORE Tripura 30 for 2 in Overs 17; BATTING: Virag Awate 19 (53), Parvinder Singh 0 (4): Jharkhand’s decision to field first in their away match looked somewhat correct when their bowler Rahul Shukla cleaned up Arindam Das for 6. The opening batsman faced 36 balls but did not convert the start that he got in this clash. Virag Awate and UU Bose tried to weather the storm, but Rahul Shukla once again struck to dismiss the latter for 2 off 10 balls.
Tripura will be hoping for Rana Dutta to continue with his form after picking 5 wickets in their last match. Udiyan Bose also made a fifty and remained not out in the second innings. Jharkhand on the other hand are in prime scoring form with Anand Singh 124, Ishan Kishan 109 and Ishank Jaggi 93 scoring big runs in the last match. Jharkhand will surely miss the services of Varon Aaron who is playing for India against South Africa in the ongoing 2nd Test at Bengaluru.
