Earlier, Karnataka, resuming at their overnight score of 163 for six in reply to the visitors' first innings tally of 158, closed at 287 thanks mainly to their lower-order batsmen, led by Shishir Bhavane (88, 175b, 13x4, 2x6), besides useful contributions from Jagadeesha Suchit (41) and Udit Patel (40).
