Mumbai concede 1st innings lead to Saurashtra at BKC, where visitors could extend overall lead of 179 despite being 120-6; batting in fourth innings of tie on turner not an appetising proposition

The Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai team enjoyed two wins against Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy. They could notch up another one against Saurashtra today on Day Three of their Elite Group B encounter at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex ground, provided they come up with an extraordinary performance.
In reply to Saurashtra’s first innings score of 289, Mumbai were bowled out for 230 to trail by 59 runs. However, Saurashtra were 120-6 in the second innings, enjoying an overall lead of 179 runs at stumps on Wednesday.
