Forty-five minutes prior to the tea break, Tamil Nadu's batting was more depressing than the ominous skies that hung overhead. On the second day of their Ranji Trophy match in Coimbatore, it finally put an early end to their suffering against Jharkhand. The day became worse when Jharkhand was given the benefit of the doubt; they were 157/6 at one point but ended up scoring 419. The top-order from Tamil Nadu collapsed in 14 deliveries on a surface that had some seam movement due to the new ball and overhead circumstances. The team finished the day at 18/5, much to the dismay of the dressing room. If the weather cooperates, Jharkhand can record a significant victory.
