Welcome back to your live coverage of Day 4 od the ongoing Irani Cup fixture between Gujarat and Rest of India.

Gujarat ended Day 4 in control of the game, 359 runs in lead and still two wickets in hand. Chirag Gandhi and Priyank Panchal notched up half centuries, and despite the two umpiring howlers, Gujarat have managed to keep the Cheteshwar Pujara-led RoI under the pump.

Stay tuned as we get you all the live updates from what promises to be a crucial morning session on Day 4.

Right then, here is the first over of Day 4. Gandhi on strike, Nadeem with start the proceedings. He's had a successful run yesterday, four wickets in the Gujarat second innings.

Given RoI's batting might, irrespective of the collapse in the first innings, Gujarat would be hoping as much in excess of 400 as they can. 400 would be the bare minimum, given that they have a in-form batsman still out there in the middle.

Priyank Panchal, who scored 73 yesterday for the Ranji winners, conceded the 400-plus is what his team would consider a par score to defend.

Another catch put down! This would be the fifth in this innings? Saha fumbles behind the stumps. You can't afford this, you can't afford a set batsman let go. Kaul is utterly disappointed. Gandhi's wicket here would have meant a below 400 target for his side. This is the key wicket. Slip cordon has been beefed up.Three slips, a gully in place.

They couldn't manage Gandhi's, so they've cleaned up Hardik Patel. Beautifully bowled, credit to Kaul. Well outside leg and going away from the batsman, who attempts to defend. The ball takes the outside edge and crashes on to the bails. The stubborn partnership has come to an end after 43 minutes in the morning session. Incidentally, Hardik hadn't even opened his account. He was just playing second fiddle to Gandhi who has done all the scoring since the morning thus far.

That's it. Chirag Gandhi goes for an unorthodox shot and pays the price. He had just the No. 11 batsman for company, so it was natural that he tried to accumulate quick runs. But he perishes for 70 and RoI's target is 379 to win the Irani Cup.It could just be the par score but given RoI's line-up, can't be considered completely safe.

Join us in 10 for RoI's reply.

Right then. 379 is the target for a star-studded Rest of India and out come their openers Akhil Herwadkar and Abhinav Mukund. Chintan Gaja starts off with a maiden.

Just as it looked Rest of India are off to the kind of start that was required in this chase, Akhil Herwadkar falls trying one shot too many. An attempted lofted drive from the left-hander gone wrong - no footwork there as well - and Panchal takes the catch at cover point for the breakthrough.

Skipper Pujara is the new man in the middle.

Another blow. The second opener is back in the hut now. Mukund was slowly freeing his arms, having settled in well. But Hardik Patel has struck at the crucial moment to pick up his first wicket in the day. Sharp turn there,ball takes the inside edge, onto the pad and goes straight to Dhruv Raval at forward short leg. The umpire took his time but eventually raised the finger.

Karun Nair joins his skipper Pujara in the middle. India's lastest tripe centurion opens his account with a couple that also takes RoI past the 50-run mark in their chase of 379.

Lunch coming up in an over or two. This duo would know better than to go for any ill-advised shot at this juncture.

Even before I have a chance to welcome you back, RoI have lost Karun Nair third ball after Lunch. He's just picked up a boundary, in the cover region, off the previous ball. And now, he comes down the track and is beaten by the turn. Misses his shot and leg stump goes for a walk.

Manoj Tiwary is the new batsman in. RoI in trouble now.

This is going down sooner than expected. Manoj Tiwary pokes at an away going delivery and Parthiv wouldn't drop those. Dives to his right and completes a fine catch. RoI are four-down in no time. Saha in the middle, with skipper Pujara. Can these two revive the chase?

Pujara cuts to deep point and brings up the 100 for Rest of India. The pitch so far has shown no signs of deterioration, still a good track to bat on. RoI just need a sensible partnership to bail them out of the top-order collapse.

A sweep to fine leg off Karan Patel for two and here is Saha's fifty. Pujara is racing towards his.

The partnership between the two is now 97. They have stabilised the sinking ship after RoI lost two early wickets in the session.

Most likely the last over coming up before Tea.

Risky shot from Pujara but he'll get three as the edge flies past the lone slip fielder. Half-century for the skipper. Saha picks up back to back boundaries in the next over - Thadani at the receiving end.

Rest of India have picked up pace since the resumption. 35 runs added in the five overs since the Tea break. This would put Gujarat under pressure. They would be getting desperate for a wicket now.

Meanwhile, Walter D'souza, the oldest surviving member of the 1950-51 final - between Holkar and Gujarat - is in attendance at the CCI. That's incidentally, the last time his team - Gujarat - were in Ranji final. They left the job unfinished then. He must be a proud man today!

Saha brings up the century with style! Lofted drive over the mid-off region, off Chintan Gaja, for a boundary. He's played a responsible knock to steady the RoI second innings. They'd lost two quick wickets right after Lunch and then Saha combined with his skipper Pujara to put on this unbeaten 150-plus stand and rescue the side.

There are no demons in the pitch as such. All it required was one sensible partnership to click. 229 wiped off, 150 more to get for the win. Gujarat must get a wicket here because the game is fast slipping out of their grasp.

Meanwhile, Ashwin and Jadeja have been rested for the England T20I series. Details here.

So that will be it for the day. The 203-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Saha and Pujara has put Rest of India in a relatively safe position.

Gujarat started the day confidently with Gandhi adding another 19 to their overnight total and helping his team set a 379-run total. It wasn't going to be enough given RoI's batting strength but with the collapse they had suffered in their first innings, a possibility of the Gujarat win wasn't ruled out either.

And the match did seem going their way despite a strong start from RoI openers. Both fell in quick succession and two more soon after Lunch mean RoI slipped to 63 for 4 in no time. But since then, it has been the Saha-Pujara show. The skipper played the second fiddle while the wicketkeeper went after just about everything to notch up the century. The unbeaten 203-run partnership has now, more or less, sealed the fate of the game. It didn't look like it 15 minutes post Lunch but at 266 for 4, and with another 113 to get for the win, this is RoI's game to lose. Gujarat, meanwhile, will have a lot of soul-searching to do. Where did they go wrong after triggering the top-order collapse? More importantly, what they need to do on the fifth morning to avoid the embarrassment of a defeat, having dominated most sessions of the game until post-Lunch today.

We'll have to wait for the morning to find out how Gujarat comeback to break this stubborn partnership. Do join us tomorrow at 9:30 am. Till then,good night!
