Saransh Jain is unbeaten on 51 and he will look to extend the innings as much as possible. Mumbai, on the other hand, look to wrap up things quickly and stage something spectacular on the final day. At present, MP are in complete control of the game.

While Patidar hit his 8th first-class hundred, Mumbai clawed back with quick wickets before the rain interruption, which forced early Tea. Saransh Jain also chipped in with a fifty to help Madhya Pradesh breach the 500-run mark.

The Mumbai camp will be plotting its fifth day strategy. MP, on the other hand, remain in driver's seat to claim the title. Mumbai had scored 374 in the first innings.

Due to the rain interruption, umpires have called for early Tea... stay tuned for live updates!

Slight drizzle and the covers are on again. Rain returns to interrupt the play but Madhya Pradesh are in driver's seat at the moment.

Madhya Pradesh 529/9, lead by 155 runs

Saransh Jain reaches his maiden first-class fifty! Top knock from the MP tweaker who has stepped up in the all-important Ranji tie.

MP 529-9

Another one! Saransh brings out the reverse sweep against Mulani. He knew the point region was vacant. Four runs!!! Madhya Pradesh lead by 152 runs.

Deshpande drags it short but Saransh has no problems in hitting that to mid-wicket for a boundary. He takes a single on the next delivery to move to 44. These runs will really frustrate Mumbai.

MP 522-9

Success for Mulani again! Kartikeya goes for an uppish drive at short extra cover but it falls straight to Sarfaraz. MP lose their ninth wicket.

MP 515-9

Excellent shot from Kartikeya! Mulani bowls a tossed up delivery and the MP batter plays the sweep shot to perfection.

MP 515-8

It's gotten clear and the play has resumed! 14 minutes of play was lost, which will be recovered at the end. There will be an extension. Kumar Kartikeya is the new batter to join Saransh Jain.

Mulani toiled away all day but got just one wicket yesterday. The left-arm tweaker has managed to snare two wickets today as Mumbai are looking to wrap up MP's first innings as soon as possible.

Madhya Pradesh have reached 505 for eight with a healthy 131-run lead.

Groundsmen have brought in the covers. We expect the game to resume as soon as the rain stops – given the fact that the stadium has got a state-of-the-art drainage system. At the moment, it's quite dark with signs of heavy pouring... stay tuned for live updates!

Big appeal and Mulani traps Agarwal plumb in front. Third wicket for Mulani, who has bowled over 60 overs in the innings. Eighth wicket for Mumbai at the stroke of heavy showers!

MP 505-8

Mumbai did remove the dangerous Rajat Patidar but Saransh Jain is currently doing the job for Madhya Pradesh. He has added 22 off 46 deliveries with Anubhav Agarwal. Drinks are on the field now!

MP 505-7

Edged and it races away to the boundary at third man. Runs keep on coming... Madhya Pradesh have gone past the 500 mark! They lead by 127 runs.

MP 501-7

Cracking four! Saransh Jain taking up the responsibility after Patidar's exit. He flicks Avasthi's delivery to mid-wicket and keeps the scoreboard ticking.

MP 496-7

What a delivery! Deshpande breathing fire with his extra pace. He concedes five from the over that featured four byes. Hardik Tamore only managed a fingertip to Deshpande's delivery which was going down the leg.

MP 487-7

Gone!!! Deshpande gets the prized wicket of Patidar. He dislodges the centurion and Mumbai can now think of wrapping up MP innings quickly.

MP 483-7

Just one off Kulkarni's over and Tushar Deshpande follows it up with a maiden. Patidar and his batting partner Saransh Jain in no hurry to score runs at the moment. Blocks and leaves keep repeating...

MP 483-6

Dhawal Kulkarni is back into the attack. Hasn't bowled a single over in the day so far. He will bowl with the new ball that's taken by Mumbai immediately.

MP 482-6

Welcome back!!! Shams Mulani bowls the first over after lunch against Patidar. Mulani is bowling from over the wicket

MP 475-6

While Mumbai managed to pick up three wickets in the morning, Patidar headlined the session with his ton. He can still add more runs in the second session as MP inch closer to maiden Ranji title. Mumbai can make a strong comeback, provided Shaw and Sarfaraz add brisk runs to set a target for MP on the final day. 

Madhya Pradesh are staring at a 500-run total at the moment.

Another partnership is building for Madhya Pradesh. Mumbai need the remaining four wickets to think about their second innings approach. Umpire Virender Sharma signals lunch.

The lead for Madhya Pradesh has crossed the 100 mark, with Rajat Patidar still batting on 120.

MP 475-6
