Gujarat’s second innings was in many ways a déjà vu of the first: they lost an early wicket, rebuilt slowly and suffered a middle-order collapse before Chirag Gandhi committed himself to another restoration job. At stumps on day three, they had extended their lead to 359, with two wicket still remaining.
On a day of umpiring errors, Gujarat slumped from 126 for 2 to 184 for 6. Gandhi then firmed up one end with his second 50-plus score of the match. Rest of India’s seamers did the bulk of the grunt work before Shahbaz Nadeem nibbled away at the lower middle-order to finish with four wickets on the day.
