Mumbai vs Madhya Pradesh Highlights Ranji Trophy 2022 Final: Dubey, Shubham hit hundreds; MP trail by 6 runs at stumps

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us for the Day 3 coverage. We will be back tomorrow for the fourth day when Mumbai will look for a fightback. Until then, it's goodbye.

Patidar hit a brisk fifty but the Dubey and Shubham shone with hundreds in the first two sessions. While Sharma fell after scoring 116, Dubey played the perfect second fiddle to Patidar, who was hitting boundaries for fun. Dubey eventually perished for 133. Mumbai managed to pick up just two wickets in all three sessions.

Umpire flicks the bail... and a good day for Madhya Pradesh, who finish on 368/3. Patidar (unbeaten 67) and Shrivastava (11 not out) remain in the middle for MP.

Madhya Pradesh trail Mumbai by six runs at stumps.

Huge appeal but the impact outside off. No interest from the umpire. On the very next delivery, Patidar hits it straight down the ground between non-striker Aditya Shrivastava's legs. Pure timing! MP trail by just six runs now.

MP 368-3

Dhawal Kulkarni is back into the attack after taking a hit on knee while diving in the previous session. Kulkarni doesn't give a single run from his six deliveries.

A tossed-up delivery from Kotian and Patidar hits it powerfully in the mid-off region. Preceded by Shrivastava hitting it behind square and taking an easy single.

MP 359-3

Short from Kotian and Patidar plays it in front of square. Patidar had enough time to play that shot on the backfoot. MP trail by just 23 runs. Seven runs off the over.

MP 352-3

Mulani's delivery spun sharply outside off and kissed Dubey's bat. Hardik Tamore pouched it comfortably behind the sticks. The spotlight is now on Patidar, who hasn't scored a single run since getting the no-ball reprieve.

MP 341-3

Finally a wicket for Mulani! He removes Yash Dubey for 133.

MP 341-3

Three maidens now for Mumbai and it's time for Drinks. MP trail just by 37 runs and it remains to see if Patidar helps them take a lead before the close of play. Patidar has added a spark to the game with his stroke-play, while Dubey remains placid at the other end on 129. The two MP batters have added 68 off 129 so far.

MP 337-2

Deshpande's delivery hit Mumbai wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore, who seems in discomfort. The physio has come out to assess his situation.

MP 337-2

Maiden from Mohit Avasthi. Dubey tries to hit a fullish delivery which was bowled outside the off stump. He picks out extra cover fielder. The Rajat-Dubey stand has now moved to 68 off 112 balls.

MP 337-2

Patidar is in disbelief after falling for 52... but wait. It's a no ball. Reprieve for Patidar as Shams Mulani's landing foot wasn't behind the crease.

MP 333-2

17th first-class half-century for Rajat Patidar! He reaches the milestone with a four past the mid-wicket fielder. He acknowledges the applause from his teammates. Fifty off just 44 balls.

MP 329-2

Rajat Patidar continues his boundary-scoring spree. The RCB batter pierces it between the two fielders in the cover region. Patidar has already added 46 with Dubey.

MP 315-2

The third session gets underway! Mulani starts proceedings with the ball. Dubey is on strike.

Just two runs off Tanush Kotian's over and players walk off the field. It's Tea at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Both sessions belonged to Madhya Pradesh, who have scored 178 runs at the loss of just one wicket. They trail by just 73 runs. Dubey is unbeaten on 119, joined by Patidar who has added 27 off just 25 deliveries so far.

Madhya Pradesh 301-2 in 98 overs at Tea

Consecutive boundaries for Patidar! Chants of "RCB, RCB" at Chinnaswamy as Patidar hits it cleanly through the covers. Nine off Mohit Avasthi's over. Patidar has raced to 23 off just 15 deliveries.

MP 295-2

Another cracking shot! Short and wide from Deshpande and Patidar gets into position quickly and punches it through extra cover. Four runs!

MP 284-2

Hold that pose! Another great shot from Patidar, who punches it straight down the ground for a four. Pure timing! Eight off the over. 

MP 287-2

Top-class! Patidar clips it on the leg side and times the shot to perfection. Facing his fourth delivery of the day, he made it look very easy. Four runs and MP now trail by 100 runs.

MP 274-2

Finally the nick that Mumbai were looking for! Mohit Avasthi removes Shubham Sharma, who walks back after scoring a brilliant 116 off 215 balls.

Huge appeal... and still no response from the umpire. Prithvi Shaw has got his hands on his head. Every Mumbai player was pleading for a caught behind. The umpire was unmoved.

MP 269-1

Singles keep on coming for Madhya Pradesh. Dubey nudges it in the cover region. Just one off Kulkarni's over.

MP 268-1

Another pitched-up delivery oustide the off stump and Shubham Sharma pushes it to extra cover for a single. Just one run off Kulkarni's over. Drinks are on the field now. The new ball is six overs old and Mumbai are still in hunt for a breakthrough.
