Here is a look at how the various Ranji Trophy matches have shaped up across the country.

UP vs Bengal

Wickets fell like ninepins with 22 of them tumbling on a dramatic second day with Uttar Pradesh needing another 183 to win with eight wickets in hand in their Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match against Bengal.

In reply to Bengal's first innings 193 all out, UP were shot out for just 62 from 24.1 overs with visiting pacer Ranadeb Bose (5/18) ripping apart the top and middle order.
Bengal were then bundled out for 104 in their second essay and UP were set a target of 236 for a win.

At the draw of stumps, the hosts were 53 for two with Shivakant Shukla batting on 18 with captain Mohd Kaif giving him company on one.

Earlier, Bose was twice on course for hat-trick. He first removed Shivakant Shukla (2) and Rohit Prakash Srivastava (0) in successive balls in the fifth over and then Parvinder Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0) in the 13th over to reduce the home team to 15 for five.

Only three UP batsmen could reach two-digit figure while as many were out for ducks.

For Bengal, Sourav Sarkar (3/20) and Laxmi Ratan Shukla (2/23) also chipped in.
The Bengal batsmen, however, failed to capitalise on the fine show by their bowlers as Bengal were bundled out for 104 in 36.3 overs.

Captain Shukla top-scored with 32 while wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha (21) and Sourav Sarkar (27) were the other two who crossed double-digit figures.

For UP, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (5/27) ripped through the Bengal top order. Pacer Rudra Pratap Singh and leg-spinner Piyush Chawla chipped in with two wicket apiece.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who scored 66 in the first innings, was out for a duck off the bowling of R P Singh.

Middle-order batsman S Badrinath slammed a double-century and added over 300 runs for the sixth wicket with all-rounder C Ganapathy as Tamil Nadu scored a mammoth 501 in their first innings on day two of their Elite division Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai.

Mumbai openers Praful Waghela (5) and Sahil Kukreja (4) survived six overs as Mumbai were 10 for no loss at stumps.

Having first staged a rescue act in company of Ganapathy, with whom he shared a 328-run stand in 112.2 overs after the visitors were tottering at 51-5 at one stage, Badrinath hung on with the tailenders to take Tamil Nadu past the 500-run mark.

Resuming the day at 251-5, the two overnight batsmen continued to pile on the misery for the Mumbai bowlers and raised their 300-run stand.

The partnership came to an end when Ajinkya Rahane ran Ganapathy out, but not before the latter completed his century. Ganapathy made 126 (323b, 4x20, 6x1).
Badrinath, however, kept up the good work and added 122 more runs in company of the last four batsmen. He was the last batsman out for a magnificent 250. His knock was studded with 20 four and five sixes and came in 476 balls.

For Mumbai, pacers Dhawal Kulkarni and Usman Malvi shared three wickets each while left arm tweaker chipped in with two wickets.

Trivedi emerged as the wrecker-in-chief as he ran through the HP top order, picking up three wickets in his first three overs, removing openers Bhavin Thakkar (0), Hemant Dogra (1) and Sangram Singh (0) to leave the visitors struggling at seven for three in 4.4 overs.

Mehul Patel then got rid off Mukesh Sharma in the 15th over, while Trivedi picked the dangerous looking Vinit Indulkar (49) as Himachal lost half their side at 102 in the 37th overs.

With Falla and Patil breathing fire, the Delhi middle and lower order simply capitulated with the hosts losing their last six wickets for 70 runs.
Awana (5/40), however, ensured that Maharashtra's reply could never really take off.
