and 45 respectively.
Earlier, Shaw and provisional opener Hardik Tamor (as Yashasvi Jaiswal did not open due to an ankle injury) got off to a decent opening stand of 63 runs. Both the batsmen were relieved – Shaw was dropped by fast bowler Gaurav Yadav while Tamore was given life at first slip by Rajat Patidar.
Left-arm spinner Kumar Karthikeya Singh drew the first blood when Tamor cut his stump while trying to sweep. Shaw, who had some fireworks against Karthikeya and Anubhav Agarwal, was consistently tempted by Madhya Pradesh’s bowling attack to attack the balls on the fifth stump line outside the off-stump channel.
If Friday had been for Yash Dubey and Shubham Sharma to score 133 and 116 respectively, Patidar scored his third century of Madhya Pradesh’s first innings on Saturday, followed by a useful knock from the lower order. For Mumbai, left-arm spinner Shams Mulani scored 5/173 in 63.2 overs.
Patidar continued on the third day, scoring his third century of Madhya Pradesh’s first innings, with slogans of ‘RCB, RCB’ from the crowd. Patidar resumed overnight with a score of 67, starting with a flick from mid-wicket off Mohit Awasthi. Mumbai tried to trouble Patidar by slamming the ball into the pitch, but with much bounce, Patidar was able to easily pull through mid-wicket twice.
