JK vs KAR LIVE: Prasidh Breaks The Stand
WICKET! Finally, Karnataka have the breakthrough. The extra bounce has done the trick. A short delivery from Prasidh Krishna that hurries on to the batter who slightly edges it while trying to get away and that’s a good, low catch from KL Rahul at first slip. He departs for 88, JK 157/2
