Fine bowling by Ashraf Makda and Hitesh Majumdar helped Gujarat restrict Madhya Pradesh to 242 for seven wickets on the third day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Elite group 'A' match played at Motera stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Makda's fiery bowling sent four batsmen to the pavilion while Mazumdar scalped three. Brijesh Tomar (31) and Sunil Dholpure (20) were at the crease when the stumps were drawn.

While skipper Amay Khurasia scored 24 runs, Devendra Bundela (19), Yogesh Golwalkar (23) and Abbas Ali (30) were the other batsmen who failed miserably.
