In a contest in which neither side could cross the 200-run mark, Bengal's first-innings total of 184 remained the highest.

Hingrajia faced 274 balls and hit 12 fours and a six to reach 108 not out.

In Pune, hosts Maharashtra took a huge first-innings lead of 358 runs in the first innings after declaring at 527/5. Jharkhand reached 130 for one in their second essay, trailing by 228 runs.

Maharashtra were bolstered by centuries from India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad (101 not out), Ankit Bawne (169 not out), and Digvijay Patil (148) as they made a strong reply to Jharkhand's total of 169 in the first innings.
