Scorecard
There was a third-day finish in Rohtak as well, with Himachal Pradesh's Vikramjeet Malik taking 13 wickets in the match to consign Haryana to a 103-run defeat. Himachal, who were in the Super League last season, resumed on 185 for 4 only to slump to 238 all out. The collapse would have been even more dramatic had it not been for former Indian offspinner Sarandeep Singh lashing a 21-ball 25.
Scorecard
The match between Kerala and Goa in Palakkad lurched towards a stalemate with Kerala crawling to 327 for 3 in their first innings by the end of the third day. Though they lost only one wicket in the day, Kerala pottered along at less than two-and-a-half runs an over. VA Jagadeesh was dismissed in the third over of the day after which Sreekumar Nair and Preambhastn Prem ground out an unbroken 216-run partnership. With an outright result improbable, the match has now been reduced to a tussle for the three points on offer for the first-innings lead.
Scorecard
Tripura's tailenders, led by Vineet Jain's breezy 58, left their side well-placed for an outright win against Services in Delhi. After conceding a 95-run first-innings lead, Services had clawed their way back into the match by reducing Tripura to 93 for 7. However, their bowlers were unable to finish the job and Tripura's last three wickets realised 137 valuable runs. Jain slammed five fours and four sixes in his knock while wicketkeeper Tushar Saha made a 33-ball 38 to help push Tripura's lead beyond 300.
