RAJKOT, JANUARY 12: The story of Vadodara’s batting display of 313 for four on Day Three of the West Zone Ranji Trophy match on Wednesday was so similar to that of their rivals that it could raise doubts of plagiarism. The script that helped hosts Saurashtra score 437 in their first innings was re-enacted.

The opening act by Connor Williams (159 not out) and R Swaroop (88) matched Tuesday’s lead pair of Prakash Bhatt (158) and Vasant Kumar (84) to the hilt. The final lines expected from them — score a further 124 runs with six wickets in hand.
