Here's a brief roundup of the Ranji Trophy matches being played in various parts of the country.

Delhi vs Saurashtra, at New Delhi

Stand-in skipper Virat Kohli led from the front with an unbeaten 88 as Delhi spanked Saurashtra by eight wickets to pocket five points from their Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match.

Chasing 160 run, the hosts cruised to 161 for two in 32 overs with Kohli and Mithun Manhas (23) guiding them to victory.

It turned out to be a memorable outing for Kohli who was asked to lead the side in absence of regular skipper Aakash Chopra who missed the match because of his marriage.

Earlier, Saurashtra began their second essay on 181 for seven and folded for 214, setting Delhi 160 runs to win the tie.

Pawan Suyal (4/41) was the pick of the Delhi bowlers even though Parwinder Awana (3/48) and Pradeep Sangwan (2/49) were also among the wickets.

Delhi's chase faltered early with opener Aditya Jain (10) edging Sandeep Jobanputra in the ninth over.

Next man in Kohli and Ankur Julka (33) then took charge, milking the Saurashtra bowlers with consummate ease.

The duo had added 78 runs when Ravindra Jadeja caught Julka off his own bowling.

But with Manhas joining Kohli in the middle, the visitors did not get another chance to celebrate.

Kohli's 86-ball 88 included 12 hits to the fence apart from two sixes.

Mumbai vs Hyderabad, at Hyderabad

Ambati Rayudu (79) and Abhinav Kumar (49) helped Hyderabad force a draw but defending champions Mumbai walked away with three points owing to the massive 255-run first innings lead they had taken in the Ranji Trophy Super League Group A match that concluded here.

Overnight 63 for one, Hyderabad ended the final day 276 for six in reply to Mumbai's mammoth first innings total of 521.

Opener Shashank Nag, who was at 22 at the draw of stumps yesterday, completed his half century and put together a 42-run partnership for the third wicket with Amol Shinde (18).

After Shashank became Iqbal Abdullah first of the three victims at a personal score of 57, Rayudu and Abhinav joined hands to steady the innings, combining for 113 runs.

Abhinav's two-hour toil, however, ended in heartbreak as Abhishek Nayar castled him just one run short of his half century.

Rayudu, meanwhile, struck 10 fours in his 153-ball knock before being caught by Wasim Jaffer off Abdulla's bowling.

Ibrahim Khaleel (1) and Syed Quadri (11) saw through the remainder of the day to help the hosts grab the lone point on offer.

Tamil Nadu vs Orissa, at Sambalpur

Tamil Nadu skipper Dinesh Karthik slammed a blistering 152 as the visitors gained three points, courtesy their 34-run first innings lead, from their drawn Ranji Trophy Super League Group A match against Orissa.

Orissa had to be satisfied with just a lone point from the stalemate.

With no real result in sight, Tamil Nadu batsmen went for some batting practice and Karthik shone with a 157-ball 152 that had 19 fours and two sixes in it.

Anirudha Srikkanth (81), son of former India captain and current chief selector K Srikkanth, and Arun Kartik (19) added 66 runs for the opening pair before Alok Sahoo removed the latter.

Abhinav Mukund (9) did not last long either but that brought in Karthik, who, in Srikkanth's company, went after the Orissa bowlers.

Srikkanth looked good for his ton but the youngster fell 19 runs away from the mark. His 93 ball 81 had 12 fours in it.

Tamil Nadu were 379 for eight at stumps.

For Orissa, Dhiraj Singh claimed three for 122, while Sahoo (2/56) and Rakesh Mohanty (2/79) got two apiece.

Madhya Pradesh vs Jammu & Kashmir, at Indore

Sami Ullah Beigh's valiant half century went in vain as Madhya Pradesh humiliated Jammu and Kashmir by an innings and 48 runs to keep their hopes of reaching the Ranji Trophy Super League knockout stage alive.

Resuming at overnight 206/7, Jammu and Kashmir started off were bowled out for 300 runs.

In the morning, Jammu and Kashmir lost their first wicket at 221 when Abid Nabi (4) was run out due to a misunderstanding with his partner Sami Ullah Beigh (51 not out). Raman Dutta played a brilliant innings and gave good support to Beigh.

At the other end, Beigh (51 not out) watched as wickets tumbled around him.

T Sudheendra took Dutta's wicket when he had him caught at mid off by Devendra Bundela for 19.

Next man in Arshad Sheikh (10) didn't last long either and was caught by Abbas Ali off Sanjay Pandey's bowling.

Beigh batted brilliantly and struck nine boundaries in his knock but could not prevent his team's innings defeat. The win gave MP six points taking their total to nine.
