Prashant Gupta today struck a century as Uttar Pradesh set Rajastan a 361-run target on the third day of their Ranji Trophy Group B match, which is now headed for an exciting finish here.
Gupta scored 144 runs off 240 balls as UP declared their second innings at 319 for five after beginning the day at 46 for two at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

In pursuit of the target, Rajasthan were 15 for no loss in four overs with Siddharth Saraf (4) and Vineet Saxena (11) to resume the innings tomorrow.
