Rajkot, Nov 16 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong>  India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja helped Saurashtra beat the Railways on the final day of Round 2 of the Ranji Trophy at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chasing 186 to win on the final day after Railways put in a solid effort for 331 in their second innings, Saurashtra were in a spot of bother at 65\/4, but Jadeja scored an unbeaten 48 to take his team home with three wickets in hand. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jadeja first combined with an 86-run stand with Sheldon Jackson (54) to put Saurashtra on course and then, despite, losing two more wickets, used all his experience to see his team through.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier, it was Jadeja's 178 not out in the first innings that had propelled Saurashtra take a 148-run lead over the Railways. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Railways were skittled out for 200 in the first innings with Jadeja bagging four wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, in the second innings, the Railways batted well and scored 331 riding Harish Tyagi's 93 and Anureet Singh's 44. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jadeja again got three wickets in the second innings. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

In reply, chasing 186 for victory, Railways' Avinash Yadav dented Saurashtra claiming the first four wickets to fall, before Jackson and Jadeja put their team on course for a victory. Yadav finished with 5\/88.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The win takes Saurashtra to nine points and to the top of the table for the time being.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In another Group A game, Manprit Juneja came good for Gujarat to help the side draw with Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gujarat bagged three points to consolidate its position in second place in Group A after a first-innings lead proved crucial. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gujarat, who had defeated Baroda by nine wickets in the opening round, are neck and neck on nine points with table-toppers Saurashtra, sitting with a higher net run-rate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In Nagpur, left-arm spinner Jagadeesha Suchith's nine for 103, his best bowling figures in first-class cricket, helped Karnataka bag three points against defending champions Vidarbha on the final day of their Group A game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the Motibaug Cricket Ground in Vadodara, Baroda bagged their first three points owing to a first-innings lead against Maharashtra.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In Group B, left-hander opener Aryaman Birla cracked his maiden first-class hundred to help Madhya Pradesh salvage a draw following on as Bengal had to settle for three points in their first home match of the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Scion of the Birla family, Aryaman was unbeaten on 103 in his third first-class match, while Shubham Sharma gave him fine support with an unbeaten 100 on the final day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bengal, who had a first innings lead in their last match in Himachal Pradesh, now have six points from two matches. Having taken a first innings lead over Tamil Nadu in the last match, MP now have four points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Himachal Pradesh‘s Nikhil Gangta and Rishi Dhawan halted Delhi on the fourth and final day at the Feroz Shah Kotla to ensure a draw.
