Duleep Trophy Final Live Score, East Zone vs South Zone Live Updates: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Devdutt Padikkal and Tilak Varma will be eager to amplify their recent red ball gains while Mohammed Siraj will look to rediscover his rhythm ahead of some important assignments when East Zone face South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final from Sunday. The Karnataka batter returned home with two hundreds in as many Tests and a Player of the Series award to boot with. Now, he will be hoping to replicate that performance for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final. It will certainly help his side regain the title after 2023, but such an effort will further boost Padikkal's claim for a longer run at No. 3. (LIVE SCORE)

Duleep Trophy Final Day 1 Live Updates
Late blow gives South Zone hope - Abhimanyu Easwaran brought up his fifty and looked increasingly comfortable alongside Shikhar Mohan, but his innings was cut short on 72 by a mix-up shortly before Lunch. He had looked well set for a big score, particularly on his birthday, but South Zone finally found a breakthrough after a largely frustrating session. Sudip Gharami and Mohan saw East Zone through the remaining deliveries, though that late wicket gives South Zone a small foothold to build on when play resumes. Join us around 7.14 am GMT for the next session.
Openers lay the foundaion - East Zone came out with a clear attacking intent after opting to bat, with their openers putting South Zone under pressure from the outset. Neither batter allowed the bowlers to find any rhythm, cashing in whenever they strayed in line or length. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi naturally took on the aggressive role, but Abhimanyu Easwaran was equally fluent at the other end as the duo put together an excellent century stand. South Zone will perhaps rue not testing Sooryavanshi with the short ball sooner, with Chama Milind’s first bouncer doing the damage as the youngster fell just short of his half-century.
6.34 am GMT - LUNCH, DAY 1! East Zone have dominated the opening session of the Duleep Trophy 2025/26 final, putting themselves in a commanding position for a big first-innings total. Their scoring rate of just under five runs an over reflects the intent and execution from the batters, while South Zone have struggled for consistency and now need a strong response after the break to claw their way back into the contest.
Three consecutive maidens to end the first session. Floated up on off and middle, Gharami works it away to mid-wicket. That will be Lunch on Day 1.
Fuller delivery, tossed up wide of the off stump. Sudip Gharami leaves it alone.
Dragged length on off, a hint of turn as well. Gharami rocks back and plays it down the line.
Fuller and at the stumps, jammed to the right of the bowler.
Nicely flighted, just outside off and this one dips as well. Gharami makes a watchful leave.
Tossed up around off, eased away to cover.
Maybe one more over.
