Delhi are all out for 138. Chahar has picked up 5-wickets.

Virender Sehwag missed a 100 on his Haryana debut. His 1st First Class 100 was against Haryana batting at No.7 for Delhi. #RanjiTrophy

Tamil Nadu have begun very slowly. 15 for 1 in 12 overs. They have lost Mukund.

As Viru nears his 100, his former team Delhi are struggling at 82 for 6.

Meanwhile, Karnataka have lost their 7th wicket and they have put up only 110 on the board.

Sehwag in full mood after lunch. 2 fours in 1st 4 balls he faced.

Karnataka 110/7. Syed Mohammed has figures of 6/30.

Virender Sehwag is nearing his 100. What a moment it could turn out to be.

Defending Champions Karnataka lose their 5th wicket. Top 5 gone! 86 for 5 now.

Hyderabad: 95/1 at lunch against Goa.

Score update: Karnataka 76/4 vs Assam Haryana 116/3 vs Maharashtra (Sehwag - 68*) Delhi 73/6 vs Rajasthan Tamil Nadu 6/1 vs Baroda Punjab 72/2 vs Railways

Oh and Gambhir is gone! Delhi in tatters at 54 for 5.

Quite surprisingly, it is Mandeep Singh and not Yuvraj at number 4 for Punjab. The wait continues.

Another man who will be in focus today is Yuvraj Singh. Punjab are currently 53 for 1 against Railways with Yuvi slotted in to come next.

And here's the 1st 50 of the new Ranji season. It comes from UP's opener Tanmay Srivastava.

Rain had delayed the start between Tamil Nadu and Baroda, but now the sun is out and we should start pretty soon.

Delhi have made a poor start as well losing 3 quick wickets, but Gautam Gambhir is standing firm so far. Hopefully, he goes on to make a big one.

Virender Sehwag is batting well so far. Haryana have lost 3 wickets, but there is still hope as long as the man stays at the wicket. He is batting on 32 and Haryana are 60 for 3.

Defending champions Karnataka have made a poor start to their campaign against Assam. They are 70 for 4 already.

All eyes on Virender Sehwag. Hopefully the change in team will be the change in fortunes as well. #RanjiTrophy @ranjiscores
