<p>Hosts Madhya Pradesh made a strong comeback, running through the Mumbai top-order after being dismissed for a paltry 192 on the first day of the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal being played at the Holkar stadium on Monday.<br /><br />At stumps, Mumbai were precariously placed at 70 for five -- still needing 123 runs to get a first innings lead.<br /><br />However, if the first day’s play is an indicator, an outright result is certainly on the cards.<br /><br />Mumbai skipper Wasim Jaffer won the toss and elected to field. The track assisted seamers and the trio of Dhawal Kulkarni (5-74), Kshemal Waingankar (3-29) and Balwinder Singh Sandhu (2-74) bowled in good areas to dismiss the opposition for 192 in 55.1 overs.<br /><br />For the home team, in-form batsman Udit Birla smashed an unbeaten 63 off only 50 balls.<br /> <br />When Mumbai came out to bat, Omkar Gurav (6) and Praful Waghela (17) started on a cautious note adding 26 runs in 14 overs. Sudhindra finally breached Gurav’s defence in his seventh and 15th over of the innings. <br /><br />In the very next over, he got an inswinger that trapped southpaw Waghela plumb in-front.While Kautubh Pawar (30 batting, 5x4) had held one end up, veteran Jaffer’s nightmare of a season continued as he was snapped up by wicketkeeper Naman Ojha off medium pacer Amarjeet Singh. <br /><br />Brief scores: <br /><br />At Hyderabad: Rajasthan: 220/5 in 90 overs (Aakash Chopra 82 n.o.; Rashmi Parida 26, Puneet Yadav 33, Dishant Yagnik 60 n.o.; Lalith Mohan 2-63) vs Hyderabad. </p>.<p>At Indore: Madhya Pradesh: 192 all out in 55.1 overs (Mohnish Mishra 33, Udit Birla 63; Dhawal Kulkarni 5-74, Balwinder Sandhu 2-74, Kshemal Waingankar 3-29) vs Mumbai: 70/5 in 33 overs (Kaustubh Pawar 30 n.o.; TP Sudhindra 2-14, Murtaza Ali 2-2). </p>.<p>At Chennai: Maharashtra: 204/4 in 84 overs (Harshad Khadiwale 61, Chirag Khurana 44, Sangram Atitkar 50; Aushik Srinivas 2-64) vs Tamil Nadu.</p>
