NAGPUR: Ajinkya Rahane, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube, all big names, foxed out within five balls. Prior to this one-over mayhem, Mumbai were on course while replying to Vidarbha’s 383.
From 113 for 2, the defending champions were reduced to 113 for 5 by Parth Rekhade, playing only his second first-class match.

depth.
On day two, though, the left-arm spinner decided to be the wrecker-in-chief to change the course of the Ranji Trophy semifinal with his stupendous over. By the end of play, Shardul Thakur and Shams Mulani, two of the three knights in shining armour often rescuing Mumbai, were also back in the pavilion.
Finishing day two on 188 for 7, Mumbai trail Vidarbha by 195 runs.
Having gained the upper hand, Vidarbha would look to dismiss opener Akash Anand (67 not out) and Tanush Kotian (5 not out) at the earliest on Wednesday.
Brief Scores: Mumbai 188 for 7 (Anand 67*, Thakur 37, Lad 35; Rekhade 3 for 16, Thakur 2 for 56) trail Vidarbha 383 (Malewar 79, Shorey 74, Rathod 54' Dube 5 for 49) by 195 runs
