Jadeja's all-round performance gives Saurashtra edge as Pant falters for Delhi; Utkarsh's five-wicket haul boosts Jharkhand

In their first innings, Delhi struggled to 188 runs, with skipper Ayush Badoni and Yash Dhull being the top scorers for their team.

However, they failed to convert their knocks into something more substantial as India left-arm spinner Jadeja ran roughshod over his clueless opponents with figures of 5 for 66.

Fellow left-arm spinner Dharmendra Jadeja supported his senior with a three-wicket haul.

In reply, Saurashtra reached 163 for five with opener Harvik Desai making a 93 off 120 balls with eight fours.

The hosts now need 26 more runs to gain a vital first innings lead on a pitch that is increasingly assisting spinners.

Utkarsh stars with fifer

================

Off-spinner Utkarsh Singh was the wrecker-in-chief as Jharkhand bowled out Chattisgarh for 230 to get an early move on in the match.

Opener Anuj Tiwari carried his bat through for a 99 for Chattisgarh, but Utakarsh's regular strikes never allowed the visitors to have momentum at any stage of their first innings.

Jharkhand reached 11 without any damage in the last six overs of the day.
