Out-of-favour India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh slammed an unbeaten double-century on Sunday, with opener Manan Vohra failing to add much to his over-night score and perishing for 224, as Punjab made a strong reply to get to 516 for three in their Group A Ranji Trophy match against Baroda.

Baroda were all out for 529 in their first innings at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Vohra scored his runs off 386 balls with the help of 20 boundaries and two sixes. Skipper Yuvraj faced 298 balls and found the fence 24 times during his unbeaten knock.

The Yuvraj-Vohra duo shared a 300-plus run partnership for the third wicket to help Punjab close in on Baroda's huge total. The left-right combo scored runs at almost fours runs per over after joining forces at 138 for two in the innings' 41st over.

Punjab were overnight 452/2 with Yuvraj and Vohra batting on 179 and 201 respectively. At the close of play on the third day, Punjab trailed Baroda by 77 runs with eight wickets remaining in the 1st innings. On the final day on Sunday, Punjab were looking all set to take the first innings lead and collect three points from the game.
