PK Ajith Kumar with an update from Jamshedpur
Good morning from an increasingly warm Keenan Stadium, from where you could hear the noise of all those passing vehicles in front of the old pavilion gate. Things are quieter out in the middle, with the Jharkhand openers Shikhar Mohan and Sharandeep Singh playing the Kerala new ball bowlers M.D. Nidheesh and Edhen Apple Tom without much fuss. The host, batting first after winning the toss, 22 for no wicket from six overs. Shikhar 14 not out, Sharandeep four not out.

Rahul gone!
A disastrous start for last season’s finalist as Rahul is caught behind! Karnataka reeling at nine for three.

Deepesh Devendran makes his TN FC debut!
The young fast bowler from Tamil Nadu had breached the 146kmph mark in the TNPL, can he perhaps cross 150 today? Would certainly garner all the attention if he manages to.
