Andhra has taken an advantage in its Ranji Trophy 2026-27 clash with Hyderabad at the scenic ACA Stadium in Mulapadu. While Hyderabad initially held the upper hand, the home side managed to recover after lunch.

Hyderabad's openers, Tanmay and Abhirath, established an early first-wicket century stand. They absorbed pressure effectively and kept the scoreboard moving with well-timed fours.

However, the momentum shifted after the lunch break. Andhra's bowlers tightened their lines and lengths, making breakthroughs.

The home side's improved performance in both bowling and fielding allowed them to gain an advantage. Andhra now appears to be in a strong position as the day concluded.
