Siddhesh Lad struck a gritty 116 while Shams Mulani made an unbeaten 79 to drive Mumbai to 336-5 after an early wobble on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match against Jammu and Kashmir here on Wednesday.
Mumbai were in a spot of bother at 141-4. But Lad, who compiled his knock off 156 balls (17×4, 3×6), and Mulani (79 not out off 125 balls, 8×4, 1×6) bailed their side out with a strong 159-run stand.
Elsewhere, out-of-favour India pacer Mohammed Shami grabbed three wickets in four balls in the fag end of the day to help Bengal bundle out Uttarakhand for 213 on the opening day in Kolkata. In reply, Bengal made a jittery start as captain and India Test hopeful Abhimanyu Easwaran was dismissed in the first ball. The hosts ended the day at 8-1 in five overs.
