18:09 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Sarfaraz says!

Sarfaraz says his gestures after the century celebration were about Sidhu Moosewala, and he got emotional then thinking about his father`s sacrifices and efforts.

17:05 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Mum vs MP!

The game is set up nicely for the third `moving` day... After Sarfaraz`s hundred dragged Mumbai to 374, MP have responded with a remarkably assured batting performance to post 123 for 1 in 41 overs at stumps on day two, and trail by 251 with nine wickets remaining. Mumbai were 120 for 1 themselves before crumbling to 228 for 5, and MP will want to avoid that on the third morning.

16:50 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Six!

Mulani is back for a second spell after an expensive first one where the left-hander Mantri hit him for two sixes. He`s also changed ends. MP have gone past 100 meanwhile. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian coming on for the first time with just ten minutes to go for stumps.

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: Third slip is standing up now with a helmet on after a couple of edges died and ran through that area. Already a short mid off and shirt extra cover have been used. Mumbai haven`t looked as threatening with the new ball as MP did, but then MP also bowled in the morning with it. Still remains overcast though. MP:13/0

13:16 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Mumbai`s slip cordon taking practice catches from coach Muzumdar!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: As they take practice catches from coach Muzumdar, this line-up has the potential to become a famous Mumbai cordon for many years to come... Jaffer, Shaw, Parkar, Jaiswal (Sarfaraz will join them soon).

13:09 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Innings Break!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: Sarfaraz holes out for 134 finally, having hauled Mumbai to 374 from 228 for 5. Gaurav Yadav gets a well-deserved fourth wicket. Him and Anubhav Agarwal have sent down nearly 65 overs between them. All those miles will not be easy to overcome when they bowl in the second innings. For now, MP`s target is at least 375. 

Innings Break! Sarfaraz Khan`s brilliant 134 & @ybj_19`s solid 78 guided Mumbai to 374 in the first innings of the @Paytm#RanjiTrophy#Final. Gourav Yadav scalped 4 wickets & was the top wicket-taker for Madhya Pradesh. #MPvMUMScorecard ▶️ https://t.co/xwAZ13U3pPpic.twitter.com/j2bkZJvFer

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: MP make no attempt to deny Sarfaraz the single fifth ball of Saransh Jain`s over, they seem to be only worried about manning the boundaries against him. Mumbai: 357/9

12:50 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Sarfaraz is furious!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: Tushar Deshpande wanted the single second ball of Gaurav Yadav`s over. Sarfaraz was hesitant but went through and two balls later, Deshpande has had a swipe and thrown away his wicket. Sarfaraz is furious, gesturing that Deshpande should have tried to stick around. Mumbai: 353/9

12:45 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: MP have given up trying to get Sarfaraz out!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: MP have given up trying to get Sarfaraz out awhile back. They have begun the second session with six men in the deep for him, and the remaining three too are spread out in the inner ring. There is no one in any catching position. Mumbai: 352/8

12:18 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Lunch Break!

Lunch break: Mumbai - 351/8 in 121.6 overs (S N Khan 119 off 224, Tushar U Deshpande 6 off 16) #MPvMUM#RanjiTrophy#Final

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: Seven deep fielder`s now, four in the leg side alone, and Sarfaraz slogs it over them into the stands. Mumbai 340/8

11:28 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Century!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: Five fielders in the deep and Sarfaraz bashes Kartikeya over his head to bring up his fourth hundred of the Ranji season. As always, a massive release of emotion in an extended celebration that makes the fans roar louder. Mumbai 329/8

💯 for Sarfaraz Khan! 👏 👏His 4⃣th in the @Paytm#RanjiTrophy 2021-22 season. 👍 👍This has been a superb knock in the all-important summit clash. 👌 👌 #Final | #MPvMUM | @MumbaiCricAssocFollow the match ▶️ https://t.co/xwAZ13U3pPpic.twitter.com/gv7mxRRdkV

— BCCI Domestic (@BCCIdomestic) June 23, 202211:12 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Sarfaraz survives!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: 23rd over of the second new ball and it is still hooping around, a lovely away curler from Anubhav finds Sarfaraz`s edge and flies between keeper and first slip. Mumbai 310/7

10:56 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final: Typical Sarfaraz!

Abhishek Purohit from Bengaluru: No way he should be taking a boundary off a pretty decent Gaurav Yadav delivery with just a dab, and deep point and third man around, but his timing and placement are top-notch. Mumbai 300/7

10:47 (IST)23 Jun 2022Ranji Trophy Final Live: Sarfaraz has taken a nasty hit and gone down!
