Merai was caught by wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan off a delivery from Vikash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also Read:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/pcb-may-sue-bcci-for-not-honouring-mou--22507\">&nbsp;PCB may sue BCCI for not honouring MoU<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Panchal was then joined by India Test wicket-keeper Parthiv, who kept the positivity going, keeping the pressure on Jharkhand bowlers with regular fours. The left-right combination forged a 139-run stand for the third wicket to put their side on the top.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Left-hander Parthiv recorded his 55th fifty in First-Class cricket as he and Panchal kept the maiden semi-finalists at bay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Right-arm medium pacer Kaushal Singh brought an end to the partnership when he got a LBW decision against Parthiv, who hit six fours and a six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the team&#39;s score at 266-3, Manpreet Juneja (12 not out) came to the middle and remained unbeaten alongside Panchal to take Gujarat to 283-3 at the end of the first day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: Gujarat 283-3 (Priyank Kirit Panchal 144 not out, Parthiv Patel 62; Vikash Singh 2-48) vs Jharkhand on Day 1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
