Nagpur: Gujarat nudged ahead when experienced left-arm seamer R P Singh sent back the ominous-looking Ishan Kishan, the last of his three victims of the day, as Jharkhand trailed by 176 runs in their Ranji Trophy semifinal in Nagpur on Monday. At stumps on the second day, Jharkhand were 214 for five, having ended Gujarat's first innings on 390 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground.

Gujarat owe their total to the in-form Priyank Panchal (149), who could add just five runs to his overnight total. Gujarat were 283 for three at close of play on the first day. While Ishank Jaggi (40) and Rahul Shukla were at the crease for Jharkhand. Shukla was yet to open his account.
