5:02 pm IST: Dropped! Prithvi Shaw drops Samit Gohil in the first ball of the Gujarat innings. Shardul’s furious! This will be the only over of the day and this could have been a big wicket! Gujarat 2/0
4:50 pm IST: And it’s all over for Mumbai. Abhishek Nayar looks to pull a short one from Rush Kalaria but has top-edged it to keeper Parthiv Patel. Kalaria gets his first wicket; Nayar gone for 35. Mumbai all out for 228.
4:40 pm IST: The new ball’s available but Parthiv hasn’t taken it yet. Abhishek Nayar has finally come out of his shell and is looking to go for those big shots. He’s on 28 from 84 deliveries. Mumbai 219/9 after 82 overs.
4:32pm IST: Meanwhile, Ambati Rayudu has scored a 100 and Yuvraj Singh has scored a 50 in the warm-up match against England XI at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Catch live cricket score.
4:29 pm IST: Yet another mix-up and Vishal Dabholkar’s gone 3 (9 balls). It was the last ball of the over and Abhishek Nayar felt he should stay on strike. Mumbai 207/9 after 79 overs.
4:20 pm IST: Rujul strikes again! Second wicket in his second over. Shardul Thakur edges one to Bhargav Merai in the slips. Mumbai 204/8 after 76.3 overs.
4:13 pm IST: Gone! Yet another bowling change and Rujul Bhatt gets a wicket in his maiden over. Sandhu (6) has to head back. Edges it to the second slip where it’s taken brilliantly by Bhargav Merai. Mumbai 202/7 after 74.5 overs.

3:31 pm IST: Rush Kalaria has been brought back into the attack replacing Chintan Gaja. Mumbai 191/6 after 66 overs.
3:20 pm IST: It’s been a steady start from Mumbai after Tea. Sandhu and Nayar both look cautious in their approach. Just 5 runs off the next 3.3 overs. Mumbai 184-6 after 63 overs.
2:48 pm IST: Horrific decision from umpire Anil Chaudhary. Siddhesh Lad swings his bat to a short one from RP Singh. It goes down the leg side and there’s no connection at all. There’s a huge appeal from Parthiv and RP Singh and the umpire takes some time before he raises his finger. It’s tea and Lad shakes his head back as he heads back to the pavilion. Mumbai 179/6 after 59.3 overs.
2:43 pm IST: Mumbai lose one more wicket just before tea.
2:28 pm IST: Chintan Gaja breaks the gritty resistance! He had been brought back into the attack replacing Hardik Patel and he removes the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav (57 off 133 balls). A poor shot from Suryakumar and he gifts a catch to Hardik Patel at mid-off. Mumbai 169/5 after 56.3 overs.
2:07 pm IST: Suryakumar Yadav looks in good form. He completes his 4000 First Class runs in the process and has now gone on to 53. Siddhesh Lad in unbeaten on 10. Mumbai 16-4 after 52 overs
1:57 pm IST: Suryakumar Yadav reaches his half-century but he’s been extremely lucky. The second ball of the over swung back in to hit his pads and with him not offering a shot, it looked to be hitting the stumps. The entire Gujarat team went up for the appeal but in vain. Off the last ball of the overs he picks a boundary to reach his fifty. Mumbai 154-4 after 48 overs.
1:43 pm IST: It’s drinks. RP has kept one end very tight for his captain. Mumbai 145/4 after 46 overs. Suryakumar 41 (100 deliveries), Siddhesh Lad 6 (20 balls)
1:35 pm IST: Dropped! Suryakumar Yadav is now put down by RP Singh. It was the first ball of the over and had been hit straight back at the bowler who didn’t seem to anticipate that. The ball races to the fence and Suryakumar goes on to 39. Mumbai 142/4 after 44 overs. Get live cricket score of Gujarat vs Mumbai and updates here.
1:27 pm IST: The wicket has really thrown Mumbai on the back-foot. The big shots have reduced and Mumbai have managed to score just 4 runs off the next 23 deliveries. Mumbai 132/4 after 42 overs.
