In the ongoing Ranji Trophy, Mumbai have the lead in their Group A match against Railways after jabbing a phenomenal first innings score of 570. Railways now trail by 484 runs with 8 wickets in hand at stumps on the second day of the four-day match being played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
The first day saw underperforming veteran, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, blossom as he smashed an astounding innings of 137 to rip apart the opposition’s bowling attack.
For Mumbai fans particularly and Indians fans in general http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607’s ton was a sigh of relief as the master blaster had had a terrible year where he failed to score any innings worth remembering.
However, with the upcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 this month, Sachin’s century could not have come at a better time.
Meanwhile, the second day of play began with Mumbai resuming their first innings from 344 for four with AM Rahane on 105 and AM Nayar yet to get off the mark.
Railways needed to make inroads right from the start in order to exert pressure on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 and stop them from piling a massive total.
The two batsmen took their side to 383 before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Railways-c836 earned their first wicket of the day on the dismissal of Rahane, who was removed by Upadhyay after hammering a fantastic knock of 129.
With the dangerous batsman out of action, Railways might have thought that their troubles were over, however, they had no idea what Nayar had planned for them as the batsman exhibited tremendous form and launched an unmatchable batting onslaught.
The partnership between Nayar and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726 Agarkar steered Mumbai to 443 after which Railways struck once more to neutralize Agarkar, who fell after smashing 20 runs.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iqbal-Abdulla-c1596 losing his wicket after scoring only nine, Mumbai forged another big partnership between Nayar and RR Powar as the duo took the score to 525 before Powar hit the showers after smacking 41 runs off 59 deliveries.
Finally, the side was bowled-out with Nayar unbeaten on 107 as Mumbai managed to pile a huge total.
Railways then posted 86 runs for the loss of two wickets before the end of the day’s play.
