Final session of the finals gets underway. TN- 379/6. Only 4 wickets separate K'taka from yet another title victory.

All these 2nd innings 100s are useless in a format where victory is decided on 1st innings lead #RanjiTrophy

TN- 350/6. K'taka need only four wickets to clinch the trophy.

After Vijay Shankar got out for 103, Tamil Nadu lose their sixth wicket as Prasanna edges one to the second slip.

TN- 274/4. Vijay Shankar inching close to a hundred. He's now on 95.

It is lunch time at Wankhede. TN are 250/4 with current partnership standing at 59. Vijay Shankar looks poised for a hundred. And Dinesh Karthik is showing some stomach for a fight at 33 of 32 balls.

#RanjiFinals: Karnataka need 6 more wickets in 62 overs to lift #RanjiTrophy against TN
