Saurashtra are still trailing by 185 runs with just four wicket remaining. Their last recognised batting pair -- Arpit Vasavada (batting 19) and all rounder Kamlesh Makwana (batting 6) -- were at the crease at close of play on day two here at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) stadium, Khandheri.
Saurashtra did not have an ideal start while replying to Baroda's 400 in a crucial tie where both teams needed outright win to keep hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage.
However, Bhushan Chauhan (49) and Sheldon Jackson (76) managed to resist the Baroda's disciplined spin attack as the duo added 87 runs for the third wicket.
But just when it looked as if the pair has settled down, Chauhan was trapped lbw after he faced 135 balls with seven hits to the fence.
