USA have gone past their 50 in the sixth over but they are not able to find boundaries at frequent intervals. A win looks way too far for them.

In case you missed it, Mayank Yadav is also back in action. He had been troubled by back problems, but will be looking to stay fit in the time to come. He is into his second over and is bowling well. No speedometer shown here, so can't tell you about his speeds for now.

India A have gone past 200 here in the 18th over. Ayush Badoni slams a six over long-off to take India A past 200. Badoni is looking to go big every now and then now. India A will look for something around 240.

Jagadeesan gets to his century. This is a high-class knock from the opener. Even though he is not part of the World Cup squad, Jagadeesan is doing a brilliant woek here. 

Ayush Badoni, the Indian A skipper, is nailing some brilliant strokes. He hits a four and a couple of sixes as he is making his own mark here.

While Tilak is gone, Jagadeesan is closing in on his hundred. He is in his 90s as Ayush Badoni joins him. India have gone past 150 and are looking for a daunting total here.
