Delhi have begun decently in the second innings so far. Gambhir and Unmukth have been very watchful. 32/0

Well done Assam. They have taken the lead against defending Champions Karnataka. Just a 3-run lead, but that will make them confident. Still have 3 wickets in hand though to add to it.

Jharkhand probably do need Dhoni. They have made a poor start yet again losing 4 wickets for just 41 runs.

Not wearing helmet against a spinner too can be dangerous. Yusuf Pathan was lucky to survive a return throw from the bowler. #RanjiTrophy
