Welcome to SportStar’s live blog about Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy semi-final in Bengaluru.
RANJI TROPHY COMMENTS:
Mumbai vs UP | Amol: Mohit Avasthi and Tanush Kotian are wreaking havoc on Just Cricket Academy. In just 16 balls, the duo shared four leaves. UP swings at 107/7.
Bengal vs MP | Update from Ayan: And shares of Shahbaz Ahmed continue to rise. He brings his 100 now to big cheers from the Bengal dressing room. A standing ovation from Arun Lal, the other coaches and Manoj Tiwary, who is still training.
Mumbai vs UP | Amol Text: Karan Sharma hooked up Tushar Deshpande to get six boats over the netted fence but Mohit Avasthi knocked him out of the UP captaincy, thanks to Sarfaraz Khan’s catch dive. At drinks, UP 64/3.
Bengal vs MP | Manoj Tiwary fell right after reaching number three. Puneet Datey gets the first wicket of the match. Sayan Mondal follows in the footsteps of Tiwary. Bengal lost two quick wickets. Madhya Pradesh is back in the match. Shahbaz Ahmed nearly tons. 237/7 of Bengal.
Mumbai vs UP | Amol: Madhav Kaushik has played two enjoyable drives from Tushar, straight down to the ground and through the roofs, so far on a sunny morning. UP to 47/2.
Bengal vs MP | Ayan: Manoj Tiwary raises the 100 mark for the second time in a row, keeping Bengal’s Ranji Trophy dream alive. Acknowledge your wife and son’s support by holding up a celebratory note. However, he was arrested soon after. 233/5 Bengal.
Alur gets sunbathing for Day 3. The game is getting tantalizingly ready. Even if Bengal cannot take the lead in the first round, it can still challenge MP if it gets close enough to the first turn 341. There is enough time in the game for Bengal to cheaply destroy MP. pic.twitter.com/5yLZHye2LL

As the morning session continues on Day 3 of the 2021-2022 Ranji Trophy semi-final, Manoj Tiwary and Shahbaz Ahmed will be looking forward to raising their hands after directing the match against Bengal on Thursday. Tiwary is currently winning 84, while Shahbaz is scoring 72 unbeaten.
Earlier on the second day of the tournament, beaten after Madhya Pradesh’s inning ended on the 341st, Bengal found itself in big trouble, losing five hits in just 54 runs. However, an unbeaten 143 partnership for Friday’s tie between Tiwary and Shahbaz means Bengal has managed to maintain it in the thick of the action.
Meanwhile, in the second semi-final, Uttar Pradesh is leading 368 runs after losing to Samarth Singh and Priyam Garg at the end of the second day’s match. On Thursday, when the game will resume, Mumbai will be looking for a few quick nudges to pile up the misery on Uttar Pradesh.
