After a near-total domination of Day Two, Mumbai have Bengal staring at a follow-on and worse in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B tie at the Eden Gardens. Having put up 412 in their first innings, Mumbai dismissed the hosts for a mere 199 before stumps were drawn on Saturday. Anustup Majumdar stood tall amidst the ruins with an unbeaten 108, his 16th first-class century and the third this season. 

Earlier, Shivam Dube & Co added 82 to the overnight 330 for six, 65 of them coming from the last pair of Dhawal Kulkarni and Royston Dias. Number 11 Dias remained unbeaten with a 43-ball 46 that had seven boundaries and a six.
