Bawne, who made his first-class debut against the same opponent two years ago at Ratnagiri, and 18-year-old Motwani (78 in 139 balls; 11X4 and 1X6) rescued Maharashtra from a precarious 39 for four with a fighting 188-run stand.

Maharashtra, who trailed the visitors by a huge 452 runs in the first innings, made 254 for five at close after being pushed on the back foot by the pace of Mithun.

Earlier, Karnataka declared their first innings at 557 for four with Amit Verma remaining unconquered on 148 and B Akhil on 54 after resuming at overnight 473 for 4.
