Saurashtra vs Mumbai | Here's more from Amol Karhadkar: He got a bad call for a first-ball duck in the first innings, but Surya Yadav (103 n.o., 108b, 13x4, 2x6) has raced to his second quickfire ton of the season and give Mumbai an outside chance of a comeback in the game. More than his reverse-sweeps off left-arm spinners, the inside out six off Bhut is the standout stroke so far. Mumbai 163/2, leads by 90.
Saurashtra vs Mumbai | Here's Amol Karhadkar, reporting from Rajkot: Second over of the session, Jay Bista's drive off the left-arm spinner Bhut results in an edge to Vasavada in the slips. 124/2 and Shams Mulani, the left-hander, has been promoted in a bid to tackle left-arm spin from both ends.
