and he's gone now..full toss, as Barot slogs it across the line and mistimes it over the bowler's head. The fielder at mid-on ran across and held the catch..
Saurashtra vs Bengal, Final at Rajkot, Ranji Trophy, Mar 09 2020 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's the game then, folks. Saurashtra are the new Ranji Trophy champions. It was certain but not quite formal when Jaydev Unadkat trapped Ishan Porel lbw in the morning to give Saurashtra the first-innings lead. But it's done and dusted now. Bengal's barren run continues but Saurashtra have done it after three runner-up finishes in the seven preceding seasons. It was an incredible final, which forced the players from both sides to dig very, very deep. At the end of it, we have a new Ranji Trophy champion.
If you're in the UK or Ireland, you can watch these highlights from the first session of the day, when Saurashtra picked up the four remaining Bengal wickets and got the all-important first-innings lead.
And this too, of the last bit of the game, at the end of which Saurashtra were crowned the new Ranji champions.
dropped..extra bounce there, kicks off from a length, off the glove and it went towards the vacant silly point region. The fielder at first slip moves forward and tries to catch that but drops it, tough chance..
round the wicket now, on a length, outside off, left alone
fuller in length, Barot defends it off the front foot
on a length and outside off, left alone
fraction short around off, goes back and punched to backward of point
back of a length, angling in, defends it off the back foot
full and way outside off, left alone
length ball, angling in, defends it off the front foot to leg side
back of a length, goes back and defends it
on a length and outside off, defended
back of a length, angling down leg side. Appeal for caught behind, turned down. Bengal reviews it. Jackson was trying to work that away towards fine leg. There is a clear gap when the ball goes past the bat.. so on-field decision of 'not-out' stays.
fullish and outside off, prods forward and defends it
fuller in length, on middle, gets forward and defends it
fuller in length and outside off, driven along the ground to long-off
touch short, goes back and defends to leg side
length delivery outside off, beaten as he was trying to defend that..
coming in with the angle from round the wicket, goes back and defends it
back of a length, works it to leg side for a run
on a length and outside off, left alone. Goes past the keeper too
