NEW DELHI: Karan Sharma and Mahesh Rawat saved Railways from acute embarrassment with a 146-run partnership on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy super league match at the Karnail Singh Stadium here on Sunday. Karan (79) and Rawat (67) pulled Railways from a depressing 45 for five to 224 all out with Baroda finishing the day at one for no loss. Early moisture made a mockery of Railways’ decision to bat first and soon the home team was regretting the move. Salim Veragi stuck to a tight stump-to-stump line and Irfan Pathan kept up a stifling length to reduce Railways to 45 for five. Amit Pagnis fell to a sizzling catch at short-leg when Azharuddin Bilakhia held the firmly flicked ball. Baroda, however, met with some spirited resistance from Karan (199b, 12x4) and Rawat (141b, 8x4, 1x6), but Railways failed to make the most of their effort. The innings caved in once Rawat departed. Irfan Pathan was the pick of the bowlers. “It always helps when you play first-class cricket. I have been enjoying my bowling,” said Pathan on his four-wicket effort. The scores: Railways — 1st innings: Sanjay Bangar c Pinal Shah b Veragi 5, Amit Pagnis c Bilakhia b Veragi 19, Karan Sharma c Parab b Pawar 79, Harshad Rawale lbw b Pathan 1, Sanjib Sanyal c Parab b Veragi 1, Yere Goud lbw b Pathan 3, Mahesh Rawat lbw b Pathan 67, Raja Ali c Shah b Pathan 5, Murali Kartik (not out) 9, Harvinder Singh (run out) 6, Kulamani Parida c Bilakhia b Pawar 2; Extras (b-6, lb-9, nb-5, w-7): 27. Total (in 81.5 overs): 224. Fall of wickets: 1-18, 2-29, 3-33, 4-34, 5-45, 6-191, 7-207, 8-209, 9-217. Baroda bowling: Irfan Pathan 22-6-42-4, Salim Veragi 15-5-51-3, Ketan Panchal 13-5-23-0, Utkarsh Patel 15-1-48-0, Rajesh Pawar 16.5-1-45-2. Baroda — 1st innings: Satyajit Parab (batting) 1, Connor Williams (batting) 0; Total (for no loss): 1. Railways bowling: Harvinder Singh 1-0-1-0. — Special Correspondent
