The shocking incident took place in the 101st over of the J&K innings. Dogra edged a delivery from Prasidh Krishna for a streaky boundary and that is when a few words were exchanged between the J&K captain and substitute fielder KV Aneesh at forward short leg.

At the time of filing the copy, Dogra is on 63* and looking good to go on and get a three-figure score. Jammu and Kashmir are 449 for five and are in total control of the summit clash. Shubham Pundir has been the star of the show for J&K. He hit a brilliant 121. 

Prasidh Krishna has been the pick of the bowlers for Karnataka. He has already picked up three wickets and looks good for more. 

J&K would ideally look to continue on and bat Karnataka out of the game.
