Resuming at 344 for 3, Baroda added 131 runs today in 40.5 overs with Pandya (59) and Shah (55) doing most of the scoring as wickets fell at regular intervals.
To the credit of Railways bowlers, they restricted Baroda to below 500. Considering the strong show by Baroda batsmen on the first day yesterday, the score could have gone above 500. Kedar Devdhar (186) and Aditya Waghmode (96) had given Baroda the platform for a big total yesterday.
In reply to Baroda's big first innings total, Punjab made a horrible start as they were reduced to 19 for 3 in the sixth over before Uday Kaul (47 batting) and Yuvraj (43 batting) stitched 93 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket to take the visiting team to 112 for 3 in 36 overs.
Kaul has faced 102 balls so far from which he hit seven boundaries while Yuvraj has struck eight fours from 93 balls he has faced so far before the draw of stumps.
