Jani first had Vihari caught by Harvik Desai before trapping Sarfaraz lbw in his opening spell to reduce Rest of India to 239 for 5 in the 65th over. Then it was a Sakariya show as he pulled KS Bharat with a full throw after coming around the wicket and causing an edge which was caught by Desai. After the tie between Jayant and Saurabh, it was Sakariya back in action when he cleared the first with another full pitch that held his line outside the off-stump and gave the batter a lead. The 24-year-old pacer then managed to get a top edge off Saurabh’s blade, who went for a pull despite not being in position, but was caught by Snell. Sakariya then completed his five-for as he sent back Mukesh Kumar with Prerak Mankad making a sensational catch that dove across the trench area. Kuldeep Sen was the last batter to be eliminated, in the form of a run-out. After a dismal at bat in the first innings, much was expected from Saurashtra and opening duo Desai and Snell did well to see Mukesh and Sen’s new ball spell. However, Saurabh, who didn’t pitch in the first innings, gave the batters a hard time after he was introduced in the 11th over. He produced four consecutive maiden overs, breaking both openers. While Snell fired one straight at Sarfaraz on cover, Desai got an outside edge and Vihari, on the first slip, held the catch after the ball hit the keeper’s thigh and was deflected. <div>Earlier in the day, Mayank Agarwal was rushed to hospital for a precautionary scan after being hit on the head with a pitch just before the start of Saurashtra’s second innings.
