Sarfaraaz Khan, Mohammad Saif and Almas Shaukat scored a century each as Uttar Pradesh still look strong against Madhya Pradesh with already 559 runs on board at tea on Day two of the first round of ongoing Ranji Trophy 2015-16. MP bowlers are clueless as Khan and Saif are unstoppable still batting on 133(152) and 184(271) respectively. While Saif has 17 fours to his account, the young Khan is two boundaries behind and looks likely to cover up the gap when the game resumes after tea. Although Ishwar Pandey has maintained his economy below three, he has managed just one wicket. Live Cricket Score, Rajasthan vs Delhi, Ranji Trophy 2015-16, Group A match, Day 2 at Jaipur

Meanwhile, the duo of Sumit Narwal and Manan Sharma who bagged three wickets each for Delhi in the first innings helped them to deny Rajasthan from a big total.

On the other hand, Tamil Nadu were 104 for 5 against Baroda at tea on day two of round-one of the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2015-16 with Baba Indrajith and Jagannathan Kaushik batting on 26 (42) and 3(10) respectively. The hosts lead by 70 runs after they required only the first session of the second day to bowl out Baroda for 159 in the first innings. As expected, Yusuf Pathan top scored for the away side with a 43-ball 41 that included two fours and two sixes and when the all-rounder looked dangerous for Tamil Nadu, the orthodox spinner Rahil Shah sent him back to the pavilion, leaving Baroda at 133 for 7. After his dismissal, his side lasted for just eight overs, posting 26 runs on board.
