Jammu and Kashmir end the day’s proceedings at 283/2 with Shubham Pundir and Abdul Samad unbeaten at the crease. It has been a brilliant first day for J&K.
Now, Abdul Samad capitalises on the start he got. He notches up a brilliant fifty here. This has been another good partnership between the two especially after Paras Dogra got retired hurt.
What a way to bring up a 𝙃𝙐𝙉𝘿𝙍𝙀𝘿 on the grandest stage 💯
