Baba Aparajith is not out on 36 and Vijay Shankar is at the other end at 15. The duo have added that 34 runs for the fourth wicket. But the day has once again belonged to Karnataka and they will certainly be looking to pick up the remaining.7 wickets tomorrow and clinch their second consecutive Ranji Trophy title.

And that's the score they will finish on at Stumps on Day Four

Tamil Nadu are 113 for 3 in 40 overs.

Vinay Kumar keeps up the pressure. Back-to-Back maiden overs. Tamil Nadu 96 for 3 in 36 overs.

Tamil Nadu are 96 for 3 in 35 overs. Baba Aparajith is not out on 30 and giving him company is Vijay Shankar, who is not out on 8.

What a day it is turning out to be for the Karnataka skipper Vinay Kumar. Scores a hundred earlier in the day, then comes back with the ball and takes the key scalp of Murali Vijay and now takes the catch to dismiss Indrajith.

GONE!!!!!!!!!!! After being hit for a six and a four, Shreyas Gopal makes a terrific comeback. Gets rid of Indrajith, at the stroke of a drinks break for 18 and Tamil Nadu now in trouble at 79 for 3 in 27 overs.

First SIX of the Tamil Nadu innings by Indarjith

Aparajith and Indrajith have put on 18 runs for the third wicket. Tamil Nadu 65 for 2 in 25 overs.

On Vijay Hazare's birth centenary, Vinay Kumar equals his feat of a century and five wickets in a Ranji final. Only two players to do so.

Karnataka couldn't have asked for a better start after the Tea break. Not only have they conceded just 15 runs in 6 overs, they have also picked up the key wicket of Murali Vijay for 27. Tamil Nadu 52 for 2 in 20 overs.

Baba Indrajith is in at 4.

GONE!!!!!!! Vinay Kumar picks up M Vijay, leg-before wicket for the second time in the game. The opener has to go back for 27 and Tamil Nadu are now 47 for 2

There is little doubt that Karnataka now stand apart from any other team in domestic cricket. #RanjiFinals

Vijay scores the first four after the tea break, off the bowling of Mithun

Vinay Kumar is back onto the field after the break and concedes 4 runs in his first over. Tamil Nadu 42 for 1 in 17 overs.

Shreyas Gopal resumes proceedings after the interval with a maiden. Tamil Nadu 37 for 1 in 15 overs.

37 for 1 in 14 overs- That's the Tamil Nadu score at Tea on Day Four of the Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka. Murali Vijay is not out on 22 with 4 fours to his name and giving him company is Baba Aparajith, who is not out on 2. They still trail the defending champions by 591 runs.

Tamil Nadu have lost their captain Abhinav Mukund for 13, bowled by leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal. The score is now 36 for 1 in 13 overs.
