After bowling out India Blue for 255 in 83.2 overs, India Red extended the advantage by moving to 93 for 2 at stumps, a lead of 123 runs. India Red hit back after a wicketless first session with right-arm paceman Avesh Khan and left-arm medium-pacer Jaydev Unadkat and Vidarbha spinner Akshay Wakhare helping the team pull things back. India Blue slipped from 193 for 3 to 208 for 8 as Avesh Khan struck thrice and Wakhare got two wickets in a rather unexpected turnaround after a wicketless first session.
