Two well-set batters missed out on individual hundreds but Mumbai reached a comfortable 317-3 at stumps against Puducherry on Day 1 of their Ranji Trophy Group ‘D’ encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Musheer Khan fell for 84 (102b, 11x4), while comeback man Akhil Herwadkar was dismissed for 86 (188b, 11x4). Their 119-run stand for the second wicket ought to have been much more if not for the error in judgement by opener Musheer. He edged an attempted cut shot off medium-pacer Sabhey Chadha to be caught at first slip by Paras Ratnaparkhe, losing out on a second consecutive century after his 112 against Himachal Pradesh last week.
