Opener Jalaj Saxena (46 not out) and Rameez Khan (4 not out) were at the crease at the end of the third day. Saurashtra are fifth on the table with 17 points. An outright victory will get them six points to finish in the top three teams of Group A. MP (20 points in 7 games) will be out of knockout contention if they suffer a defeat.

However, a draw will give them an outside chance of making it. Pujara and Aarpit Vasavada put on 159 runs for the fourth wicket.
