Vidarbha vs Kerala Live Updates, Ranji Trophy Final: Vidarbha extended their lead to 127 runs as they reached 90 for 2 in their second innings at lunch on day four against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy final on Saturday. Beginning their second essay, Vidarbha, who had taken a crucial 37-run first-innings lead, lost both their openers in the first half-an-hour of the day before Danish Malewar (38 batting) and in-form Karun Nair (42 batting) steadied the ship with an 83-run unbeaten partnership. Veteran spinner Jalaj Saxena (1/36) struck off his very first ball of the day to remove Parth Rekhade (1), providing the first breakthrough to Kerala. Medium pacer MD Nidheesh (1/17), who has been Kerala’s leading bowler this season, then removed Dhruv Shorey (5) in the next over. First-time finalists Kerala, who conceded a first-innings lead, desperately need wickets to have a shot at winning their maiden Ranji Trophy title. (Live Scorecard)
