Lahli: Haryana have a tough task of saving their Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan despite a valiant 146 from opener Nitin Saini in their second innings on day three here today.

Haryana, resuming the day at 62 for no loss, have put a much better batting effort in the second innings though it has not yet bailed them out of trouble.
