Mumbai's lanky pacer Royston Dias stole the spotlight yesterday when his 3-52 in 18 overs helped restrict Gujarat to 232 for eight in reply to Mumbai's 297 on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy Group A clash at the Wankhede Stadium.

Dhruv Raval's unbeaten 60 kept Gujarat in the contest as the hosts trailed by 65 runs. With Mumbai one pacer short due to the recurrence of a hamstring injury to Tushar Deshpande (7-1-23-0), Dias, Dhawal Kulkarni (2-50) and Shivam Dube (2-45) had to bear the extra workload on a bouncy Wankhede track. Dias, who got a chance to bowl in a Ranji Trophy match after a year's gap, bowled with gusto. "In a team like Mumbai, you have to wait for your chance. It's very competitive, so whenever I get a chance, I try to give my best for the team," Dias said.
