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

Dubey tried to glance Desphande's delivery that was going down the leg. Wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore thought there was an edge there. The scoreboard keeps ticking…

MP 264-1

This can be frustrating for Tushat Deshpande! Outside edge and it goes over the slip cordon to the boundary. Six off Deshpande's over.

Fuller length... and that's another boundary for Shubham Sharma, who gets an outside edge and it flies past the fielder at gully.

Welcome back! We restart after the 40-minute break! While Prithvi Shaw hopes for some wickets, MP batters look to put on more runs and close in on Mumbai's hefty total. Awasthi to start proceedings with the ball.

Both Dubey and Sharma reached fifties at the start of the session and continued to add runs. Dubey reached his third ton of the season at the stroke of lunch. Mumbai bowlers are still in search of a wicket as both MP batters have batted the session with total control. We will back in 35 minutes for the second session...

Mulani hasn't looked his usual self today! Dubey flicks the tweaker down on square leg and gets three runs. In the same over, Sharma takes a quick single and the fielder at mid-off picks it up in one go and hits the stumps. Run-out check sent upstairs... and the batter is comfortably in! NOT OUT!

Overpitched delivery around the off stump and Dubey drives it down the ground. Pure timing! Like Sharma, Dubey has also scored over 500 runs so far this season. Dubey has a staggering 90-plus average.
