EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: No breakthrough yet
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Mohammed Siraj has bowled some good overs but there is no wicket to speak of. Fifth day on this pitch but there is nothing much happening for the bowlers. Flat as they come. If truth be told, the match has been a farce. Why would you provide such a pitch for an important final? East Zone 237/5

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Siraj beats the bat!
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: That's a rare occurrence. It's Quraishi at the receiving end. Goes for a drive, misses the ball. There was a good yorker in the over too. Quraishi just survived. Pretty impressive over by Siraj. He is an international bowler after all. There difference is there for all to see.

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: First boundary of the day
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: From the bat of Kumar Kushagra off CV Milind. Wide of gulley, not a convincing shot for sure. Milind looks good as a bowler but he needs to be a bit quicker. There was a no-ball in the over too, second of the day. East Zone 221/5

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Quraishi faces Milind
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Quraishi and Kushagra out there in the middle. Quraishi looks dead serious, which means they have been instructed to bat as long as possible. Another long day in the offing for the South Zone bowlers. There is a no-ball in the first over of the day. Uneventful over in all, just one run from that no-ball. East Zone 213/5

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Tilak Varma didn't have enough support
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: He fell short of a century by just one run in the first innings. In the semis too, he had batted well with a century and a fifty. But he won't leave Chennai as a victorious captain. Because he didn't have enough support from his teammates. And then in three days' time, he has to be ready to play Afghanistan in the first T20I in New Delhi.

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: It's been an Ishan Kishan game!
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: With scores of 270 and 80, Ishan Kishan, to all intents and purposes, killed the game. His batting on the second day of the contest, if truth be told, threw Tilak Varma's South Zone totally out of the contest. With those two knocks, even though they were on a flat wicket, Kishan has improved his red-ball credentials, no two ways about it.

EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Will they declare soon?
EZ vs SZ LIVE Score, Duleep Trophy 2026 Final: Md Kounain Quraishi (26) and Kumar Kushagra (34) are the overnight batsmen. Both have added 52 runs so far. The big question today is: how long East Zone intend to bat? They are likely to bat at least one full session and if they are not bowled out, maybe even more.
