*Vidyut stars for Haryana at Gurgaon

S Vidyut scored an unbeaten century to help Haryana to a draw against Punjab in their Ranji Trophy league match at Gurgaon on Tuesday.

Unbeaten on 23 overnight, Vidyut made 105 off 143 balls with little support from other batsmen, spurring his side to an unforseen second- innings total of 309. For Punjab, Sandeep Sanwal picked 3-67.

Set a target of 196 runs to win, Punjab lost quick wickets in the middle to put all thoughts of an outright win right out of their minds. Although Ravneet Ricky made unbeaten 41 off 62 and Yuvraj Singh slammed 24 off 27, three wickets fell within the space of 12 runs, forcing the batsmen to opt for a draw. 108/5 at the close of play, Punjab picked up five points from this encounter, while Haryana picked up three.

*Delhi notch up massive victory

Delhi won their Ranji Trophy league match against Jammu & Kashmir by a margin of 200 runs, picking up eight points at the Feroze Shah Kotla grounds in Delhi on Tuesday.

Set a target of 469, Jammu & Kashmir never looked to go after it and could only hope for a draw. When their in-form batsman, Kavaljit Singh, fell after making 90 with the score on 193, having spent 310 minutes at the crease, Delhi sniffed a chance to bowl their rivals out.

They did not mess it up. Sarandeep Singh (4-60) and Amit Bhandari (3-76) combined to destroy Jammu & Kashmir's lower order, bowling them out for 268. Some resisting efforts from the lower middle-order notwithstanding, Delhi finally won in a canter.

*Himachal Pradesh pull off shock win

Little-rated Himachal Pradesh pulled off a shock victory over giants Services in their Ranji Trophy league match at Una on Tuesday.

Shakti Singh (5-80) and Vishal Bhatia (4-40) rudely unseated Services from its comfortable overnight position of 25/0 to bowl them out for 179. Brushing aside scores of 44 and 42 from K Chawda and Yashpal Singh respectively, Himachal Pradesh's bowling attack took only 54.3 overs to work its magic.

Set a target of 46 to win, Himachal Pradesh were never going to be troubled too much. They reached the score with only one wicket lost in 11.3 overs, with Sandeep Sharma making 27 off 25 balls.

*Goa tail wags furiously

Goa's tailenders batted resolutely to deny Tamil Nadu a shot at victory in their Ranji Trophy league match at Chennai on Tuesday.

Despite a five-wicket haul from L Balaji, Tamil Nadu could not bowl Goa out for less than 158 to notch up an innings victory. Batsmen like Kiran Powar (57) and skipper Amitabh Velaskar (23) used up valuable minutes in their knock.

Further down the order, Avadoot Amonkar used 50 minutes and 40 balls to score one run, while Avinash Aware spent an unbeaten 57 minutes and 48 balls without getting off the mark.

Tamil Nadu, by virtue of a first-innings lead, pick up five points from this drawn match, while Goa pick up three.

*Andhra Pradesh draw with Kerala

Set a target of 177 to win the match, Andhra Pradesh hung on to draw their Ranji Trophy league match against Kerala at Cochin.

Kerala, reeling overnight at 131/7, miraculously made it to 259, with KN Ananthapadmanabhan making a sterling unbeaten 74, coming in at number 10. Sreekumar Nair, the other overnight batsman, made 83 off 390 minutes and 279 balls. For Andhra Pradesh, Mohamad Faiq picked up his second five-wicket haul of the match.

Andhra Pradesh never looked to go after the target, preferring instead to pick up their five points by virtue of a first-innings lead. At the close of play, Andhra Pradesh were 78/2, with skipper MSK Prasad unbeaten on nine off 102 minutes and 66 balls.
