VADODARA, NOV 18: Nilesh Modi carried his bat through to make an unconquered double century, and frustrate Vadodara's effort at gaining an outright victory as the West Zone match petered out into a tame draw at IPCL Ground today.The host attack proved ineffective as Gujarat, having conceded a first innings lead of 34 runs, amassed a huge 413 for 5 on the last day.Assisting Modi (202 not out: 535m, 394b, 29x4) in a 184-run fourth wicket stand was the unfortunate Tejas Varsani whose mistimed shot off Wakaskar dismissed him one short of a deserved century.ScoreboardGujarat (1st innings): 295Vadodara (1st innings): 329Gujarat (2nd innings, overnight 166-3): Amrish Kotecha lbw R Patel 49 (9x4, 95m, 95b), Nilesh Modi not out 202 (29x4, 535m, 394b), Niraj Patel c M Kadri b Zaheer 11 (1x4, 57m, 41b), Mukund Parmar c Mongia b Zaheer 8 (2x4, 13m, 10b), Tejas Varsani c Mulherkar b Wakaskar 99 (11x4, 1x6, 233m, 166b), Kirat Damani lbw Swaroop 8 (1x4, 75m, 54b), Mihir Sheth not out13 (2x4, 133m, 47b).
