Gujarat vs Kerala Live Score, Ranji Trophy semi-final Day 3 (Gujarat Cricket Team vs Kerala Cricket Team): Hello and welcome to the live blog of Day 3’s play of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 semifinal match between Gujarat and Kerala. The match is taking place at the Narendra Modi Stadium A Ground in Ahmedabad and is streaming live on the Jio Hotstar app and website.
Mohammed Azharudeen’s dogged 149 not out, his first hundred in red ball cricket in seven years, took Kerala to a commanding 418 for seven at stumps on day two.
Kerala, who have not gone past the semifinals in the premier domestic red ball event, had resumed the day at 206 for four.
Skipper Sachin Baby, who was on 69 overnight, did not trouble the scorers on the following day as he was removed by left-arm pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla on the second ball of the day.
A 149-run stand between Azharudeen and Salman Nizar (52 off 202) followed, taking Kerala past the 350-run mark. On day three, Kerala would like to bat as long as possible and then aim for the all-important first-innings lead over the home team on a flat track.
Azharudeen, who was on 30 overnight, carried his bat though the day with his unbeaten 149 coming off 303 balls. His gritty effort comprised 17 fours with majority of his boundaries coming on the off-side.
Remarkably, it was the 30-year-old’s second first-class hundred and first after seven years, having made his Ranji debut back in November 2015.
Nagwaswalla was the pick of Gujarat bowlers on Tuesday and has taken three wickets thus far.
