Overnight batsman Vasavada scored 106 off 287 deliveries (4×11) and shared a 142-run partnership with India Test specialist Pujara, who recovered from fever which forced him to retire hurt on the first day.

Pujara struck 66 off 237 balls (4×5) as the pair dug deep and almost batted Bengal into submission. They batted for 297 minutes and took 380 balls for their 142-run stand.

Bengal bowlers made a comeback in the final session to take three wickets, but the advantage lay with the home side at the end of the day’s play.

Resuming at 206/5, Saurashtra were happy to see Pujara walk out to bat, shaking off health issues. The ace batter, joining his state side after India’s tour of New Zealand, then took his time in the middle to get adjusted with the bounce of the pitch.

At the other end, the impressive Vasavada too made the Bengal bowlers toil as both the opening sessions belonged to the home team. Vasavada, who had notched up 139 in the semifinal here against Gujarat, got to his fifty with a four off off-spinner Arnab Nandi, driving him past mid-on. Pujara broke the shackles in the following over by stepping out to cover-drive left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed to the fence.

Southpaw Vasavada reached three figures 20 minutes before the Tea break as he cut one off Nandi through cover. Pujara got to his fifty off 191 balls at the stroke of Tea.

On Day 2, the hosts managed 178 runs in 79.1 overs for the loss of three wickets. Pacer Mukesh Kumar dismissed Pujara and Prerak Mankad (0) in the final session but it was too little too late as Saurashra were already in the driver’s seat.

Bengal took their first wicket of the day in the fifth over after Tea with Wriddhiman Saha effecting a sharp stumping off Shahbaz Ahmed to send back Vasavada.

Earlier, young pacer Akash Deep took three wickets as Bengal kept Saurashtra in check as they ended Day 1 on 206/5. For Saurashtra, Avi Barot (54) and Vishvaraj Jadeja (54) had slammed half-centuries on Day 1.

Brief scores: Saurashtra 384/8 in 160 overs (Arpit Vasavada 106, Cheteshwar Pujara 66, Avi Barot 54, Vishvaraj Jadeja 54; Akash Deep 3/77) vs Bengal
