11.06am Saurashtra lead by 230. Bengal have done everything asked of them this morning, by quickly prising out the five wickets they needed. That said, you still have to wonder if they've conceded too much ground. Bengal will need a massive second-innings effort with the bat to try and get considerably ahead and defend that in the fourth innings. The next two sessions and a bit will decisively tell us which way this game is headed. Bengal will have to bat a tricky 15 minutes before lunch.

Porel to DA Jadeja, OUT, sharp catch at short leg, that surely is the ends of the innings. This is a good bouncer on the body from Porel, Jadeja is caught off guard as he fends. He's surprised by the pace at which this comes. The ball lobs off the glove to Kazi who rises with the bounce and takes it instinctively. Fingers are completely underneath the ball so the soft signal of out will stay out. That is the end of Saurashtra's innings, but not before they've put themselves in pole position of winning their second Ranji final in three seasons.

Here's Ishan Porel into the attack. He has given his cap back. Porel was off the field so cant bowl for four more minutes. Shahbaz Ahmed has the ball. Around the wicket, he goes. No maidens so far for him this innings. This is his eighth over.

Akash Deep to Bhut, 1 run, Another one put. A touch tougher than the last one but a catch, alright! On a length shaping slightly away from Bhut. He looks to play it to the on-side, but closes his bat face early and gets a leading edge. The fielder at point dives dull-length to his right but is unable to hold on.
