Indore: Cricket updates from Day 1 of Ranji Trophy final between Gujarat and Mumbai being played at Holkar Cricket Stadium.

Over 60 | Score 179/6 | (Yadav 55*, Lad 13*)

Gujarat have made a brilliant comeback with two quick blows. First, Gaja picked his second wicket as set batsman Yadav gave an easy catch at mid-off while trying to play a pull shot, while Lad became Singh’s second victim. Nayar and Sandhu are the two new batsmen at the crease. With not enough runs on board, Mumbai now desperately need a massive contribution from their lower order batsmen.

Over 55 | Score 166/4 | (Yadav 55*, Lad 13*)

Yadav reached yet another half-century for Mumbai in a crucial tie. After Shaw’a departure, right-hander batted with more positive intent and kept the scorers busy. He is being well supported by Lad. The partnership for the fifth wicket is now worth 38 runs. Mumbai need a much bigger stand from these two.

Over 39 | Score 130/4 | (Yadav 33*, Lad 0*)

Shaw’s brilliant knock came to an end in the 35th over, where he was unfortunately run-out. Suryakumar Yadav worked a ball on the off-side, sprinted for a single, Shaw wasn’t convinced and was stranded in the middle of the pitch when the bails were removed. Skipper Aditya Tare did not trouble the scorers much and was dismissed by Patel three overs later. Gujarat have made a comeback with those two quick blows.
