Jaydev Unadkat's Saurashtra started on a positive note on Day Four and had Dharmendrasinh Jadeja and Prerak Mankad to thank as the duo reduced Bengal to 124/3. Wriddhiman Saha walked in and combined with a set Sudip Chatterjee to wear down the Saurashtra bowlers, much to the frustration of captain Jaydev Unadkat.
