It went down to the last few minutes as Baroda, led by Yusuf Pathan's six-wicket haul, beat Saurashtra by 239 runs as the shadows lengthened in Rajkot

An inspired spell post-tea by Jaydev Unadkat lifted Saurashtra's sagging spirits, but Baroda continued to hold the edge on the penultimate day in Rajkot, armed with a lead of close to 300 on a deteriorating pitch

Having come back well in the morning to keep Baroda to 400, Saurashtra stumbled to end the day trailing by 185 with only four wickets remaining

A century from the opener Saurabh Wakaskar, and 94 from Aditya Waghmode, helped take Baroda to 348 for 5 on the first day against Saurashtra in Rajkot
