A clinical display from the J&K bowlers — led by three-fers from Aquib Nabi, Mujtaba Yousuf, and Parvez Rasool — helped them bowl their visitors Karnataka out for 206 in the first innings of the third quarter-final at Jammu. In reply, the hosts reached 88 for two at stumps on day three.

Services and Odisha ended day two of the final round of league matches in strong positions against Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand respectively. Elsewhere, bowlers dragged Maharashtra back into the contest against Uttarakhand, while a stern middle-order gave Haryana hope against Jammu & Kashmir.
