Their batters scored big runs in the second innings before Auqib Nabi took three early wickets on the final day to put New Zealand A under pressure. Ctain Dhruv Jurel also handed the ball to Devdutt Padikkal, who took his first two wickets in first-class cricket, and left-arm quick Mukesh Choudhary switched to left-arm spin as the light faded, but the final wicket never arrived. Set a target of 313, New Zealand A were 170 for 9 ahead of Hehy and No.

11 Jayden Lennox put himself together between India A and victory. They bowled almost 10 overs and had about 17 left on the day before the umpires sent the players off due to poor lighting. Nabi was the star of the day for India with the new ball.

He struck three times in eight legal deliveries and won awards for targeting the stumps in the top order. He swung the ball sharply out of the crease and hit Rhys Mariu’s middle stump with the first ball of his second over. Nabi ended that by taking no.

3 Tim Robinson up front with one that stood up in line with the stumps after bowling. In his third over he passed the wicket to left-handed batsman Matthew Boyle and also shook his stumps as he brought the ball sharp. Dean Foxcroft joined Hehy at 13 for 3 and restarted the innings with a 78-run stand that took them almost to the 100 mark.

Hehy then saw more wickets fall as Foxcroft missed a Mukesh run for 42 and Mitchell Hay was brought back by Anshul Kamboj. It went from 110 to 5 because the tail couldn’t spend much time with Hehy either. Washington Sundar scored just before tea to take the hosts to a six-point lead.

After tea, India A passed the ball to Padikkal, who hit shot after shot. Hehy shook his head in dispointment at the non-striker’s side as Fraser Sheat and Zak Gibson went close to KL Rahul at first slip. New Zealand A lost four wickets for just 39 runs but managed to survive thanks to the deteriorating light.

India A had started the day at 488 for 8 and Washington added just one point to their overnight score, falling to 52. Akash Deep hit some powerful shots, both in terms of pace and spin, and remained unbeaten with 25 off 17 as India A were bowled out for 516. Auqib Nabi got a fiver in the first innings, Bengal v Jammu and Kashmir, Ranji Trophy, 2nd Semi-Final, Kalyani, Day 1, February 15, 2026. Gentle dismissal at the end for Hehy!

Kamboj strikes with short bowling tactics! The hit is quite short and Hehy plays the swinging pull shot but doesn’t quite make it and misses the shot to the mid-wicket fielder stationed nearby. Boyle’s shaky innings finally comes to an end!

Three quarter ball outside the wicket. Boyle stands high in the goal line and timidly pushes it, the thick outside edge of the gully defender leing forward to tuck it into his pocket with sure hands. Jaiswal is the defender there, cool as a cucumber!

A huge chime and Sundar catches the big fish! Spins a length down middle leg, Foxcroft tangles on the back foot and tries to neutralize it over the line, misses the length and hits the top of the front pad. Honestly, it looks pretty high to me from here.

But the referee disagrees and raises his finger! and this time a perfect line and length is rewarded. We throw it all the way to the off-stump, driving Hay into this big, expansive drive and just enough seam movement to catch the outside edge.

A massive goal for India A as the umpires call for lunch. The top of the tree stump has been shaken and Keene has no idea! A good length ball raced down the fourth off-stump channel, defended on the front foot but failed to penetrate the line of the ball and cover his bases there.

The ball jams just enough to hit the outside edge and crash into the off-stump. Keene looks at the woodwork after the shot, nods and stalks back to the dugout. Clarke stayed close to the stumps and hurried to play the clever flick to his fine leg, giving away his intention to touch too early.

Akash remained unmoved and stuck to his plans. Delivers a fuller onto the stumps, Clarke misses – Akash scores – the stumps shook. full and gone..!

Sai once again in action. Nabi throws this shot at stumps, forcing Sheat to play this shot. The ball spreads a little to catch the outside edge.

Sai Sudhasan devours a good catch. Sweet dismissal at the end for Hehy! Kamboj strikes with short bowling tactics! The hit is quite short and Hehy plays the swinging pull shot but doesn’t quite make it and misses the shot to the mid-wicket fielder stationed nearby.

Done him with a JAFFA! That’s an unplayable delivery from Keene! Cut it a little short and squeeze it firmly on the surface; Jaiswal barely had time to break away from the slip line, is completely outclassed and clears the batter’s glove, the keeper makes no mistake behind the stumps.

KL Rahul bites the dust! Good length delivery around the stump. Rahul steps forward to defend but an inside edge returns slowly and painfully towards the stumps.

He turns around in a desperate attempt to change course, but accidentally knocks over the bails with the end of the club. Bizarre dismissal! Oh my god, what have you done, DDP?

A loose delivery drifts down leg and Padikkal tries to look away from it. A noise can be heard as he passes the bat and pad, although he seems unable to make a real connection. It’s a light hit from the thrower, but the finger goes up!

Padikkal is completely stunned, remains in disbelief and questions the umpire for a few moments, completely confused by the call. Rathod pats him comfortingly on the shoulder as he turns toward the shelter. Take nothing away from the magnificent knock that anchored India A’s innings, but what a heartbreaking farewell, especially after 199 runs!

Pulled to short again, just outside off, moves through the off-stump and goes to pull, delivers a simple catch to square leg that devours it over his head, and the mammoth partnership of 215 is broken to New Zealand’s delight. I tried to make a difficult shot by crossing and pulling it over the line, but I couldn’t find the height he was looking for. Clarke is rewarded for his short field fire and the field placement was also perfect.

Still a great offensive round. It’s a sensational catch considering the gusts of wind. He rose very quickly and sat on the hook, found the man deep in the back square, adjusted and made a fabulous dive to catch an absolute gem. It was cast briefly at chest height, found on the hook a little late and on the top edge, so the skipper had to take the long way back to the pavilion. Excellent start to the session for New Zealand.

India A need to stabilize and not lose caution. Rathod is celebrated by the keeper and bowler and is angry with himself as he walks away! Wide offered long ball with a touch of spin, swings back and plays the square shot away from the body. Rathod fails to keep his ball intact and rushes in, giving the goalkeeper an outside advantage and Hay celebrates.

Rathod lets out a frustrated scream and angrily swings his bat in the air several times as he trudges back to the dugout. I deceived the skier badly and made holes all the way to mid-wicket! He is the last recognized batsman to return the strike and New Zealand A would be very hpy to see him behind them.

He went hard for the incoming spinning delivery, it was a little full, he planted his front leg and drove over it, got a top edge and it was a regular hold in the ring. He’s berating himself after playing that shot so early for New Zealand A, exactly what they were hoping for from Lennox’s goals! He throws a long ball from the wicket, tries to get it over the line, misses the length completely and tickles the front pad side and then onto the stumps.

Nabi’s exploits with the bat are finally over! If the length is good, the ball will be strongly pinched and will also bounce off the surface. The batter plays inside the line a fraction too early, closing the face on the follow-through and gaining an advantage over the gully.

Hehy covers his ground, dives full-length to his right and takes a sensational one-handed blinder that knocks him out of the air just as he dives dangerously low! Three slips in place. Around the wicket, popped in short, a bumper whir, angled and he tries to get it over the line, catches a leading edge and Gibson runs like a bull who’s seen a red carpet, stretches forward and dives full length to take it deep, well done!

KL Rahul bites the dust! Good length delivery around the stump. Rahul steps forward to defend but an inside edge returns slowly and painfully towards the stumps.

Excellent start to the session for New Zealand.

In my opinion, this is a dream performance for a new bowler. He had to play, came forward and was released by the big booming inswinger and the left ball flew so far through the air. Mariu couldn’t do much about this unison glockenspiel and GIVEN!

India A are on fire! Slightly short and pulled back into the cushions, he peared a little upright in real time as he almost passed out. There was a little doubt but he could have just cut off the leg stump. India’s tomorrow is getting better and better.
