Easwaran has been busier of the two vs spin and is approaching a 100 . Shahbaz has played the odd sweep but has preferred padding away the spinners when they landed the ball outside off or leg stump. This is Bengal's last recognised pair, so MP will believe one more wicket here and they can march on for an outright win. After inspecting the outfield, the match officials are involved in a fairly long chat with both the captains. Not very positive outcome. Lunch has been called and the next inspection is at 12.25 pm #MUMvUP #RanjiTrophy @sportstarweb pic.twitter.com/zx5MPB05OW— Amol Karhadkar (@karhacter) June 18, 2022 Bengal vs MP: Ayan says: Bengal has 83 overs to chase down the remaining 254 runs.
