Irani Cup: Rest of India with a mountain to climb after Mumbai post 603

Brief Scores: Mumbai 603 all out in 158.2 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 156(271), Jay Bista 104(90); Jayant Yadav 4/132); Rest of India 36/1 in 16 overs (Faiz Fazal 18(49); Abhishek Nayar 1/4)

Resuming from their overnight score of 386/3, Mumbai forged ahead as skipper Aditya Tare completed his half century before being dismissed by Krishan Das. Das foxed Tare with an out-swinging delivery, which induced an edge and was caught by the Keeper with a full-length dive. However, there was no respite for RoI as Siddhesh Lad picked up from where Tare left off, and formed a 78-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav.

Meanwhile, Suryakumar continued to plunder runs at the other end and reached his 150 with a boundary off Stuart Binny. Eventually, the 25-year-old's brilliant innings came to an end as he drove one straight to the bowler, Jayant Yadav, while looking to drive the ball through covers. His dismissal brought two quick wickets for RoI as Abhishek Nayar and Dhawal Kulkarni were caught out at the first slip off Jayant.

Iqbal Abdulla showed some resistance, and it was his partnership with Siddhesh which helped Mumbai cross 600 runs in the end and post a mammoth first innings total, before Jayant and Unadkat cleared out the tail.

The Rest of India team got off to a poor start as Nayar made up for his failure with the bat by providing an early breakthrough to his team. It was a poor shot from Srikar Bharat, as he could not keep his square cut on the ground and picked out Siddhesh at backward point. Jayant Yadav and Faiz Fazal played out the remaining few balls, before the umpires signalled the end of the day's play, leaving RoI with a mountain to climb in the remaining three days of this Test match.
