Ranji Trophy Highlights: J&K's historic victory vs Mumbai key story of day 3, Shubman Gill ton vs Karnataka in vain

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Round six progressed at a rapid pace on moving day, with four matches reaching their conclusion and several others heading into the endgame. Wins for J&K, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Haryana headline day's play.

Day four will return with MP vs Kerala hanging in the balance, and still plenty to play for in Rajasthan vs Vidarbha.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Vidarbha have frustrated Rajasthan all day, and will likely look to play this match out for a draw with Himachal's struggles meaning it will be enough for them to qualify top of the group.

Even three points, however, won't mathematically be enough for Rajasthan heading into the final round of fixtures. Something inspired needed from them if they have intentions of qualifying to the knockouts.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Hyderabad might have just enough time to try and pull off a big result against Himachal .

A win or even a draw for Hyderabad here would make the next round's match between Gujarat and Himachal a straight shootout for quarterfinal qualification, with Himachal needing to win to qualify and Gujarat needing to avoid a loss.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: 4 wickets apiece for Anshul Kamboj and Anuj Thakral see Haryana home against Bengal, who looked fairly hapless for much of this match. 283 runs is the final margin of victory in Kalyani, but Bengal still mathematically in the running for qualification.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Maharashtra doing Mumbai a favour as they continue to bat and don't put in Baroda in Nashik. Heartbreak for Ghosh, however, as a great innings is cut short right before the century.

The lead now up to 582.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: One last big maximum from the bat of Venky Iyer, and Shubham Sharma declares with an hour's play left. Excellent flourish at the end, and Madhya Pradesh will almost certainly stave off a loss now.

But will they be able to produce a win against a tired Kerala team? A lot will depend on this late brief burst.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Late on day three, and multiple teams have started swinging their bats around. Vidarbha's lower order are trying to quickly add runs against Rajasthan, while Venkatesh Iyer has raced past 50 in an innings that has already included five maximums.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Scoring quickly now the name of the game for MP in a must-win contest. Likely looking for a few quick runs before a declaration and putting Kerala in to bat. They will want to leave themselves enough time and the best conditions to try and bowl Kerala out, with MP possessing a strong bowling attack.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Just a torrid time for Bengal in the last three innings after starting off well with the ball. A massice win incoming for Haryana, who will extend their lead at the top.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Tea break, with Tamil Nadu declaring and setting a target of 402 for Chandigarh, and managing to scalp a wicket before the break as well.

Fascinating matches in Jaipur and Trivandrum, as visiting Vidarbha and Madhya Pradesh quickly look to add on runs before thinking of a declaration.

Maharashtra likely looking to get Nawale to his century before declaring. While there be enough time to bowl out Baroda?

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Something interesting developing in Nashik. Maharashtra don't have much to play for, but even with a lead approaching 500, they haven't declared against Baroda.

Baroda will fight for a draw; they know that a point here will be a bonus, and basically seal their own qualification.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: J&K pull it off! A couple of nervy moments, but positive and attacking batting means there are no major hiccups. A flurry of boundaries, and J&K seal the win before tea on day three.

Mumbai now relying on Maharashtra in the ongoing match and then J&K to do them a favour in round seven by beating Baroda themselves. The defending champions' qualification looking shaky.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Haryana all over Bengal now with two early wickets, and this could be a comfortable victory for the visiting team. Six points here will guarantee their progression with a match to spare — but a Madhya Pradesh win against Kerala could mean four teams head into round 7 in contention for that second qualification spot, including Bengal despite this likely heavy oncoming loss.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: And it's curtains in Bangalore! Punjab's double batting failure means it's a dominant 7-point win for Karnataka, who now sit in second place in Group C on 19 points. They will be keeping an eye on the Kerala vs MP match now, rooting for Madhya Pradesh to pull out a win.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Coming down to the wire in Mumbai vs J&K. Mumbai getting wickets, but J&K keep the score ticking. A handful of boundaries in quick succession — down to 30 runs required.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Shubman Gill recovers well from his first innings failure with a century in the second. It won't be enough, as Karnataka stand on the edge of victory, but a fine and confidence-inducing showing from the India international — the one returning batter to leave a mark in this round of fixtures.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Trouble for J&K! Rush of blood for Abdul Samad as he steps out and is completely beaten in the air by the clever Mulani.

61 runs still needed and four wickets down — surely J&K won't let this golden opportunity go? Skipper Paras Dogra still at the crease.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Tall task ahead for Bengal, who need to win this match to remain in the hunt in an extremely tight group. It's a big target, especially with stalwart Abhimanyu Easwaran missing through injury. Big effort needed.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: A terrific innings for Vijay Shankar in what has been a strong round for Indian all-rounders. Coming in at number six, Shankar counter-attacked and put together a terrific partnership with Jagadeesan, and is currently accompanied by first innings centurion, 18-year-old Andre Siddarth.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: The ideal start to the second session for Mumbai, as they account for Khajuria and Sharma. A small window of opportunity with new batters at the crease and runs still needed — but Abdul Samad has come out swinging, looking to relieve whatever run pressure exists.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Shubman Gill is marching towards his century but he is running short of partners as Punjab have lost seven wickets are on the verge of suffering a big wicket. Mayank Markande was dismissed on 27 by Prasidh Krishna.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Madhya Pradesh have taken a fine lead over Kerala here, and now the pressure is on the bowlers not to allow the MP batters to stretch it past 300. Saransh Jain and Aryan Pandey are still in the middle as MP isstill trying to find a way to post a target over 300.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Shubman Gill continues Punjab's fightback and completes his half-century. The Punjab skipper is fighting hard alongside Mayank Markande, but it won't be an easy job for him to rescue his team from this situation as they still trail by 294 runs.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: It seems like Jammu and Kashmir will look to get the result today itself, as they need just 120 more runs to win. It is going to be a very big upset but J&K have put up a collective show to make their case strong in this match. Shubham Khajuria and Vivrant Sharma are still in the middle for them.

Ranji Trophy Live Score: Narayan Jagadeeshan and Vijay Shankar have scored solid half-centuries, putting Tamil Nadu in the driver's seat with a lead of 272 runs. Meanwhile, Jagjit Singh claimed three wickets for Chandigarh. TN 301 & 175/4 vs CDG 204
