Nagpur, December 7 

Skipper R Vinay Kumar led from the front and picked up a six-wicket haul including a hat-trick to help Karnataka bundle out Mumbai for 173 in their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha.

Kumar, who made the most of the conditions after inserting Mumbai in, returned with impressive figures of 6/34, including a hat-trick completed in two overs, as 41-time champions Mumbai crumbled in only 56 overs on Day 1. At stumps, Karnataka were 115/1, 58 runs adrift of Mumbai with their in-form opener Mayank Agarwal unbeaten on 62 with M Abbas (12*) for company.

Gujarat on top despite Easwaran’s ton

Jaipur: Opener Abhimanyu Easwaran showed his mettle under pressure as his patient 129 enabled Bengal to score 261/6 at stumps on the first day of their quarterfinal against defending champions Gujarat. Courtesy Easwaran’s sixth first-class hundred and his 175-run stand for the fifth wicket with veteran Anushtup Majumdar (94), Bengal’s score had a semblance of respectability after being reduced to 59/4 at one stage.

Easwaran showed big match temperament in his 246-ball knock which had 17 boundaries. It was the second new ball that did the trick as Easwaran edged one off Chintan Gaja (2/75) to Samit Gohil. With Bengal playing five specialist bowlers on a greenish track, the tailenders would need to get the team past 300-run mark.

Vidarbha struggling at 45/3 on Day 1
