Sakariya then completed his five-for by sending Mukesh Kumar back with Prerak Mankad making a spectacular catch diving across the gully area.
After being run-out, Kuldeep Sen was the last batter to bat.
After a disastrous batting display in the first innings, a lot was expected of Saurashtra, and the opening pair of Desai and Patel did well to see off Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep Sen’s new ball spell.
However, after being introduced in the 11th over, left-arm spinner Saurabh, who did not bowl in the first innings, made life difficult for the batters.
