Mumbai batsmen failed to capitalise on a good start, but managed to reach 281-6 at stumps on Day One against Andhra Pradesh in their Elite Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy match at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra Kurla Complex ground on Friday.

Put into bat, the hosts’ openers Bhupen Lalwani (61, 10x4) and Jay Bista (39, 6x4) batted confidently. However, Bista’s departure, caught by substitute K Ashwin Hebbar off pacer Nitish Kumar Reddy (3-44), put the visitors back in the game. In the next ball, a charged-up Reddy bowled a fuller length, inswinging delivery which trapped Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane leg before for a duck.
