That's the game then, folks. Saurashtra are the new Ranji Trophy champions. It was certain but not quite formal when Jaydev Unadkat trapped Ishan Porel lbw in the morning to give Saurashtra the first-innings lead. But it's done and dusted now. Bengal's barren run continues but Saurashtra have done it after three runner-up finishes in the seven preceding seasons. It was an incredible final, which forced the players from both sides to dig very, very deep. At the end of it, we have a new Ranji Trophy champion.

If you're in the UK or Ireland, you can watch these highlights from the first session of the day, when Saurashtra picked up the four remaining Bengal wickets and got the all-important first-innings lead.

And this too, of the last bit of the game, at the end of which Saurashtra were crowned the new Ranji champions.

Chatterjee to Barot, OUT, and he's gone now..full toss, as Barot slogs it across the line and mistimes it over the bowler's head. The fielder at mid-on ran across and held the catch..

Chatterjee to Barot, no run, dropped..extra bounce there, kicks off from a length, off the glove and it went towards the vacant silly point region. The fielder at first slip moves forward and tries to catch that but drops it, tough chance..
