Jai Prakash Yadav was yet again the most impressive bowler for Railways, picking up three wickets in his 21 overs.
Madhya Pradesh 28 for 1 trail Goa 223 (Kamat 50, Pandey 3-47) by 195 runs Goa wilted under Sanjay Pandey's medium pace as his six-wicket haul bundled them out for 223 at Indore. Goa looked set for a big score at 92 for 1, led by Sagun Kamat's half century, before Pandey struck back with three wickets in quick succession. The middle order failed to consolidate as Pandey and Abbas Ali wrapped up the innings in 78 overs. In reply, Madhya Pradesh lost the early wicket of Muddassar Pasha.

Alind Naidu and Samir Khare shared five wickets between them, also restricting the scoring, as Khare gave away just 16 runs in his 12 overs. J Arunkumar looked set to score a half century but his dismissal, with the score at 118, triggered a mini collapse. Anand Katti was unbeaten at stumps with 41.
Orissa 248 for 3 (Das 126*) v Jammu and Kashmir Shiv Sunder Das, the former Indian opener, made a welcome return to form with an unbeaten century against Jammu and Kashmir at Cuttack.
