Sarfaraz Khan OUT - 227 off 219

A starry innings comes to an end as Sarfaraz Khan has been dismissed for 227 off 219 balls. Rakshann has got him, finally giving Hyderabad some relief. Sarfaraz has taken Mumbai above 500 runs. Siraj, meanwhile, has struggled massively and has taken just 1 wicket in the 24 overs he has bowled. 

MUM: 510/7

In a low-scoring affair, it is crucial to hammer quick runs. That is exactly what Prerak Mankad has done for Saurashtra. Using all his experience, the former LSG all-rounder has scored 56 off 41 balls to take his side's lead over 200. Mankad is now only the 2nd player to score a fifty in this game.
He stitched a 92-run stand with Ravindra Jadeja, who is currently unbeaten at 39. 

SAU: 177/6; Saurashtra lead by 210 runs.

A stupendous comeback for Sarfaraz Khan in red-ball cricket as he hammers superb double century for Mumbai against Hyderabad. He took just 206 balls to reach the milestone, bludgeoning 19 fours and six sixes. The new CSK batter has been in incredible touch and is knocking on selection doors yet again. Mumbai are dominating Hyderabad here. Suved Parkar also unbeaten at 64. 

MUM: 468/5

It is round 2 for Ravindra Jadeja as he tries to make an impact for Saurashtra, who have lost 4 wickets now. They lead Punjab by over 100 runs now but Jadeja holds a massive key after they lost D. Jadeja for 27. Ajay Vasavada (19*) looks solid. Harpeet Brar is having an all-timer game, as he has picked up 3 wickets in this game. He took a six-wicket haul in the first innings.

SAU: 75/4; lead by 108 runs

Update: 
Saurashtra lose Vasavada as well, with Jass Inder taking his wicket. Prerak Mankad has joined Jadeja (11) at the crease. SAU: 102/5; lead by 135 runs. 

In the Maharashtra vs Goa game, Maharashtra have lost two wickets for 59 in reply to Goa's 209. Arjun Tendulkar took the wicket of Prithvi Shaw (31), while Vasuki Koushik had Arshin Kulkarni (7).

Ruturaj Gaikwad (6*) is currently at the crease alongside Niraj Joshi, with Maharashtra trailing by 150 right now. 

Sarfaraz Khan has also converted his overnight score of 142* to 150+. He is batting on 165 currently at a strike rate close to 90. Superb stuff. Mohammed Siraj's Hyderabad has leaked 382/5 so far.

BEN: 375/5 in 97.0 overs

Hyderabad have started Day 2 on a good note, taking the fifth wicket. They ended Day 1 by ending a stupendous 249-run partnership between Mumbai captain Siddesh Lad and Sarfaraz Khan. Rohit Rayudu took the wicket as he trapped Lad (104 off 179) in front of the stumps.

Now, Rakshann has got the fifth wicket as he sends back Himanshu Singh. Sarfaraz Khan (144*) is nearing 150.
MUM: 335/5
