Mumbai Remain 536/9 At Stumps, Day 2

Sarfaraz Khan is standing out there in the middle unbeaten on 221 off 276 balls and stands a chance of extending his record-breaking score on Day 3. No one could have expected Mumbai to make such a good recovery after going 37/3, but the Ajinkya Rahane-led side had other plans as they showed grit and determination to go beyond the score of 500.

Here's How the sessions played out on Day 2:

• Morning Session: 26 overs, 101 runs, 2 wickets
• Afternoon Session: 26 overs, 111 runs, 0 wickets
• Evening Session: 18 overs, 87 runs, 3 wickets

Resuming the day from 237/4, registering 299 runs at a loss of 5 wickets is something Mumbai can take happily, as the pressure is now on Rest of India to pull-off a miracle to upset the reigning Ranji Trophy champions.

Stumps on Day 2!

A day dominated by Mumbai and made special by Sarfaraz Khan's double century.

Mumbai move to 536/9 with Sarfaraz Khan (221*) and Juned Khan (0*) at the crease.#IraniCup | @IDFCFIRSTBank
