3.42pm After opting to bowl on a grassy Wankhede pitch, Vidarbha have bowled hosts Mumbai out for 224 in 64.3 overs. That Mumbai topped 200 was down to Thakur's big hits after another middle-order collapse. He will have a big job to do with the ball as well. We will be back in a bit for Vidarbha's reply. Cheers

Yadav to Thakur, OUT, good length and angling into off, driven back to Umesh, who stretches out his right leg in his followthrough and deflects the ball back onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. Umpire's review for a run-out. Did Umesh touch the ball? Was Deshpande out of his crease? Yes, indeed, Umesh touched the ball with his right boot but Deshpande's bat in the air by the time the bails are off the groove. Lucky break for Umesh and Vidarbha
TU Deshpande run out 14 (52m 34b 2x4 0x6) SR: 41.17
