  Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

  Gurjapneet Singh gets his 2nd wicket. Traps Dega Nischal plumb in front. This one came back into the right-hander sharply off the pitch. Easy decision for the Umpire. Uttarakhand 15/2.

  Andhra vs Hyderabad

  Drinks. Hyderabad 65/0 after 17 overs. Mulapadu might not have the sweltering heat from last week, when Karnataka was here, but Andhra bowlers have been made to sweat so far. - Anirudh Velamuri

• October 18, 2026 10:57

  Delhi vs Gujarat

  Gujarat strikes. Harshal Patel entices the drive from Sanat Sangwan and manages to induce the nick to the keeper. It is his 250th First Class wicket, reports Vivek Krishnan. 

  Off the next ball in the following over, Priyansh Arya reaches 50 in 55 balls. He has been quick to move up the gears, Vivek adds. 

• October 18, 2026 10:55

  Tamil Nadu vs Uttarakhand

  TN strikes early. Gurjapneet Singh strikes in his third over. He removes Arav Mahajan caught behind. Came around the wicket and got the ball to straighten to find the edge. Uttarakhand 10/1. 

  TN pacers Gurjapneet Singh and Saravana Kumar have started well. Have used the overcast conditions well getting good swing.

  An interesting company to watch cricket

  I have interesting company today in Justin Paul, a friend and former teammate of Gary Stead, the Andhra head coach. The last time Justin was in India was around 34 years ago, he recalls, as part of the New Zealand under-23 team touring. The Indian U23 captain then? Rahul Dravid, he says.

  Andhra vs Hyderabad

  Hyderabad bring up 50 in 14 overs. Tanmay 21 and Abhirath 29. Good start from the visitors, who have played very smartly. Eight boundaries and 60 dot balls. Andhra bowlers have, so far, failed to trouble either batter.

  K. Saiteja comes back into the attack as the home side search for the breakthrough.

• October 18, 2026 10:47

  Kerala vs Odisha

  Kerala lose its third wicket soon after the break. Lalit Yadav induces edge from Abhishek (11) and is snapped up by the keeper. Kerala 18/3 - MR Praveen Chandran

• October 18, 2026 10:47

  Delhi vs Gujarat

  Priyansh Arya and Sanat Sangwan have raised a 50-run opening stand in 12.5 overs for Delhi - Vivek Krishnan

• October 18, 2026 10:36

  Himachal Pradesh vs Mumbai

  Mumbai dominated the first session, reducing Himachal Pradesh to 48 for three, despite a dropped catch.

  Tushar Deshpande and Mohit Avasthi have kept the batters on their toes.

  With it being a Sunday, a fair number of spectators have turned up, while a bunch of budding cricketers are ensuring there is no shortage of noise and cheers!

  Kerala vs Odisha

  Kerala 18/2 after 12 overs at the drinks break. Abhishek Nair and Sachin Baby have survived a testing first hour’s play. - MR Praveen Chandran

  TN vs Uttarakhand toss

  Tamil Nadu opts to field. 

  Four changes for TN. Vimal Khumar, Hemchudesan, Ajith Ram, and Gurjapneet Singh replace Sai Sudharsan, D. Deepesh, Washington Sundar, and R. Sonu Yadav. Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar have left for India A duties, reports Dipak Ragav. 

• October 18, 2026 10:21

  Punjab vs Chhattisgarh

  A sedate start for Punjab with Vihaan Malhotra and Harnoor Singh Pannu opening the innings. Chhattisgarh has already applied spin from one end with Dharmendrasinh Jadeja operating. PUN 27/0

• October 18, 2026 10:20

  Delhi vs Gujarat

  Priyansh Arya beginning to open up. A lavish drive over mid-off for four and a pull over deep square leg for six off Arzan Nagwaswalla in the 10th over. Delhi moves to 33/0 in 10 overs. - Vivek Krishnan

• October 18, 2026 10:15

  Andhra vs Hyderabad

  K.V. Sasikanth replaces Lalith Mohan in the eighth over, paving way for Lalith to bowl from the pavilion end. And Lalith is convinced the change in ends has made an immediate impact, with huge shouts for LBW. Umpire, however, is convinced and says the ball was moving away.

  Hyderabad 37/0 after 9 overs.

  - Anirudh Velamuri

• October 18, 2026 10:10

  KAR vs SAU toss

  Saurashtra wins the toss and elects to field. Karnataka hands debuts to Rohan Patil and Aneeshwar Gautam, who have come in for R. Smaran and KL Rahul, reports N. Sudarshan from Alur. 

  Three changes in bowling. Shreyas Gopal, Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak in; Madhav Bajaj, Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal out. Karnataka is pace heavy, and understandably so. Overcast conditions and not expected to be a very dry surface, Sudarshan adds. 

• October 18, 2026 10:08

  Himachal vs Mumbai

  Innesh Mahajan falls to Mohit Avasthi. Himachal Pradesh loses it’s third wicket as Mumbai makes most of the conditions - Shayan Acharya

• October 18, 2026 10:06

  Delhi vs Gujarat

  Delhi off to a sedate start. 16 for none after seven overs. Priyansh Arya, given his reputation as an aggressive batter, has been fairly watchful along with Sanat Sangwan, says Vivek Krishnan. DEL 16/0

• October 18, 2026 10:04

  Andhra vs Hyderabad

  Steady start from Tanmay Agarwal and Abhirath Reddy. 26 runs on the board in five overs for Hyderabad, as clouds hover close by. There were small spells of rain yesterday and my weather app tells me precipitation is 60%, pings Anirudh. 

• October 18, 2026 09:59

  Kerala vs Odisha

  Kerala has lost two quick wickets with Odisha pacers Rajesh Mohanty and Lalit Yadav making optimum use of the conditions. Abhishek J. Nair plays a loose shot off Rajesh and is caught at point by Soumya for a duck. Jalaj looked pretty uncomfortable in the middle and Lalit Yadav ends his misery by having him caught at second slip by Sandeep for a duck. Kerala two down for three. - MR Praveen Chandran

• October 18, 2026 09:55

• October 18, 2026 09:45

  AND vs HYD

  First ball of the day and four runs. Tanmay Agarwal uses the pace of the ball to flick it to the boundary and K. Saiteja can only manage a smirk, says Anirudh from Mulapadu. 

• October 18, 2026 09:42

  A busy weekend at Palam ground
