Skipper Subhranshu Senapati made a patient fifty but Ishan Porel and Pritam Chakraborty broke three wickets each as Kolkata dismissed Odisha for 265 in their first innings in a Ranji Trophy Group A match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday. Bengal then reached 39 for 2 in 15 overs with Abhimanyu Easwaran (14) and Pritam (7) at the crease pulling stumps. Senapati hit a nine-hit 127-ball 67 to the boundary, but Odisha on the other side continued to lose wickets at regular intervals.
First to go was opener Shantanu Mishra (42), who could only add one run to his overnight score and became Pritam’s first victim.
Rakesh Pattnaik was quickly sent off by Ishan in 42nd while G Poddar fell victim to Akash Ghatak as Odisha lost half of their match for 139 for 5.
Senapati added 45 with Rajesh Dhuper (15) before the latter was cleared by Ishan. Prayash Singh and Senapati took them over 200 before the former was back in the hut in 81st.
Eight balls later, Senapati was removed by Pritam as they were 210 for 8.
Lower hitters Pradhan (22), Sunil Roul (24) and Basant Mohanty (15 not out) then made useful contributions to take Odisha over 250.
Both Rohtak and Nadaun had play interrupted on the second day due to poor lighting with no ball being bowled.
Short Score: In Kolkata: Odisha 265 all out in 98 overs (Subhranshu Senapati 67, Shantanu Mishra 41; Ishan Porel 3/67, Pritam Chakraborty 3/59) vs Bengal 39 for 2 in 15 overs (Abhimanyu Easwaran 14; Sunil Roul 1/8).

Finally some runs for Yash Dhull, Delhi 223/5 vs Hyderabad
Young skipper Yash Dhull finally found form as Delhi reached 223 for five after bowling out Hyderabad for 355 in their Ranji Trophy Group B match in Hydearbad on Wednesday.
Back to open the innings after missing out on his team’s historic victory over traditional rivals Mumbai in the previous round, Dhull made 72 runs off 74 balls on the second day of the elite group game as Delhi scored by more than four runs by about.
IPL star Ayush Badoni hit an 85-ball 78 as the stumps were drawn for the day.
It’s a sort of redemption for 20-year-old Dhull, whose nightmarish Ranji season took a turn for the worse after the “ill” Delhi captain was ruled out of their clash with Mumbai last week.
However, Dhull’s debut season was successful as he scored 820 points, including four hundred, at an average of 74.54.
Thanks to consistency, Dhull was named skipper of the Delhi Ranji squad this season, which also included 100-Test veteran Ishant Sharma and IPL star Nitish Rana, less than a year after captaining India Under-19 to a World Cup title.
Hyderabad resumed the day on 247 for four and was aided by Rohit Rayudu’s fine hitting of 153. Rayudu hit 90 overnight.
Seamers Harshit Rana and Divij Mehra took two wickets each for Delhi, while Pranshu Vijayran and Hrithik Shokeen took two each.
At stumps, Delhi trailed the hosts by 132 points.
Short Scores: In Hyderabad: Hyderabad 1st innings 355 all out in 124 overs (Rohit Rayudu 153, Chandan Sahani 67; Divij Mehra 3/45, Harshit Rana 3/63) Delhi 1st innings 223/5 in 50 overs (Yash Dhull 72 , Ayush Badoni 78 at bat).

In Chennai: Tamil Nadu 324 all-out in 142.4 overs (Baba Indrajith 66, Vijay Shankar 53, M Shahrukh Khan 50; Yuvrajsinh Dodiya 4/72, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja 3/95).
Saurashtra 1st innings 92/3 in 35 overs In Vizianagaram: Assam 113 and 62/5 in 23 overs (Lalith Mohan 2/13) Andhra 1st innings 361 all out in 112 overs (Karan Shinde not out 90, Hanuma Vihari 80, Abhishek Reddy 75; Swarupam Purkayastha 4/48)

At stumps, Yash Dubey and Shubhman in the crease with MP still trailed by 264 points.
Play was interrupted on the second day in the match between Chandigarh and Jammu and Kashmir due to a wet outfield.
