Veteran Wasim Jaffer and opener Sanjay Ramaswamy struck unbeaten centuries as Vidarbha took command against Uttarakhand on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy quarter-final here yesterday. At stumps, Vidarbha reached 260-1, in response to Uttarakhand's 355, with Ramaswamy (112 not out) and Jaffer (111 not out) holding fort.

Hat-trick for Roosh Kalaria
Left-arm pacer Roosh Kalaria starred with a hat-trick leaving Gujarat needing 195 runs to beat Kerala and seal a semi-final berth at stumps on Day Two of the quarter-final at Wayanad, Kerala.

Gujarat hit back to restrict the host to 171 in the second innings after conceding the first innings lead. A disciplined bowling effort helped Gujarat bowl out Kerala for 171 in 59 overs with Kalaria (3-36) and Axar Patel (3-40) sharing the spoils.

Pujara falls cheaply
Young Uttar Pradesh pacer Shivam Mavi did what Australia bowlers could not do for majority of the Test series Down Under - dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara (11) cheaply as the hosts reduced Saurashtra to 170-7 on Day Two of the quarter-final at Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh, resuming Day Two at 340-7, scored 385 with Saurashtra skipper Jaydev Unadkat taking a five-wicket haul.
