Commentary

Saurashtra beat Rajasthan by 218 runs.

A resounding win and more importantly, a crucial one for Saurashtra as far as their title defense hopes are concerned. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja picked up seven wickets in the second innings to finish with 12 for the match as Rajasthan were bundled out for a paltry 87. This result keeps the hosts on 16 points while catapulting Saurashtra to 22, just one behind table-toppers Haryana although Vidarbha are expected to move to second by the time this round of games concludes.

Lunch on Day 4 - Rajasthan 69/6, require 237 more runs to win.

Victory looks imminent for Saurashtra with the defending champions snagging six wickets to leave Rajasthan in disarray by Lunch on Day 4. This was after Arpit Vasavada's unbeaten 74 and quick cameos from Prerak Mankad (14 off 15) and Chirag Jani (19* off 8) set up a declaration, even as Sheldon Jackson fell one short of a half-century. Thereafter, the spin duo of Dharmendrasinh Jadeja and Yuvrajsinh Dodiya took over to wreak havoc even as opener Sumit Godara (25*) has paid witness to an alarming collapse around him.

Stumps on Day 3 - Saurashtra 174/4, lead Rajasthan by 245 runs in the 2nd innings.

Veterans Arpit Vasavada (53*) and Sheldon Jackson (48*) drove the initiative forward for Saurashtra to put them in a solid position by the end of Day 3 in Jaipur. Rajasthan failed to breach the defenses of the two batters and with Saurashtra's lead now standing at 245, they might look to go all out in attack on the third morning to swell it well past 300 quickly enough and declare the innings to unleash the bowlers. An interesting final day beckons!

Tea on Day 3 - Saurashtra 92/4, lead Rajasthan by 163 runs in the 2nd innings.

It's a see-saw battle at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium although Rajasthan's bowlers have kept the hosts in the hunt with regular wickets. Ajay Kookna nabbed the big fish by trapping Cheteshwar Pujara in front for 25, leaving the door open for Rajasthan to storm back and perhaps go on to win this contest. Saurashtra must look to avoid yet another collapse and their hopes to that end remain pinned on Arpit Vasavada (10*) and Sheldon Jackson (11*).

Lunch on Day 3 - Saurashtra 12/0, lead Rajasthan by 83 runs in the 2nd innings.

Ajay Kookna backed up his five-fer with a 44-run knock at number 9 but it wasn't enough for Rajasthan to avoid conceding the first innings lead. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja snared five wickets as Saurashtra pocketed a pivotal lead of 71 runs before their openers saw through a mini passage of play prior to Lunch. Can Saurashtra bat their way to a point where they cannot lose this contest?

Stumps on Day 2 - Rajasthan 159/6, trail Saurashtra by 169 runs in the 1st innings.

Deepak Hooda (36) and Kunal Singh Rathore (33) forged a partnership of 66 runs for the fourth wicket but couldn't convert their starts, leading to another mini-collapse as Rajasthan ended the day six wickets down. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja bagged three wickets as did Yuvrajsinh Dodiya and with first innings parity still 169 runs away, Rajasthan have a mountainous task on hand in order to bail themselves out of the hole they've dug for themselves.

Tea on Day 2 - Rajasthan 79/3, trail Saurashtra by 249 runs in the 1st innings.

It was tough going for Rajasthan's batters in the second session as they lost three wickets including that of the well-set Mahipal Lomror for 30. Jaydev Unadkat was incredibly miserly while Yuvrajsinh Dodiya bagged a couple of wickets for Saurashtra. Rajasthan's hopes of getting close to Saurashtra's first innings total now rests on the shoulders of skipper Deepak Hooda (14*) and Kunal Singh Rathore (9*).

Lunch on Day 2 - Rajasthan 10/0, trail Saurashtra by 318 runs in the 1st innings.

Batting collapses have never been far away for Saurashtra this season and it was a similar story that unfolded on the second morning in Jaipur. While Sheldon Jackson (116) raised a century, the rest fell like a pack of cards with Aniket Choudhary's fiery spell reducing the defending champions to 249/7 within no time. It's on the bowlers again as the visitors look to make Rajasthan's life with the bat a challenging one.

Stumps on Day 1 - Saurashtra 242/4 in the 1st innings.

A 62nd first-class hundred by Cheteshwar Pujara headlined a hard-fought but fruitful day for Saurashtra in Jaipur. The veteran scored 110 before he was dismissed right at the stroke of Stumps as his partnership with Sheldon Jackson (78*) was brought to a halt after the duo put up 168 runs together. Prerak Mankad and Chirag Jani are yet to bat and they will be tasked with powering Saurashtra's total to a big one on the second day.

Tea on Day 1 - Saurashtra 177/3 in the 1st innings.

A smooth session for Saurashtra with the defending champions not losing a wicket while building their first innings total steadily. It couldn't have come as a bigger welcome sign considering the numerous collapses they have suffered so far in the tournament. Cheteshwar Pujara (84*) looks set for another hundred while Sheldon Jackson (41*) is giving him good company. It remains to be seen now if Rajasthan's bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Manav Suthar, can mount a fightback.

Lunch on Day 1 - Saurashtra 84/3 in the 1st innings.

Having lost the toss at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan will be pleased with their bowlers' efforts on the first morning against defending champions Saurashtra, who were reduced to 33/2 at one stage. Cheteshwar Pujara led the team's fightback with a 41-run stand for the third wicket with Harvik Desai (21) although the latter was then sent packing. Pujara is currently batting on 34 and with Sheldon Jackson (2*) for company, Saurashtra will be eyeing a massive partnership between the two veterans.
