MUM vs J&K, Ranji Trophy Highlights: Mumbai storm back on Day 1 after getting bundled out for 120

J&K finish the day on 174/7 with a lead of 54 runs in the first innings. A brilliant day for them as 17 wickets fell on the day. They would've loved to lose fewer wickets but have done well to stay ahead. They will look to extend the lead on the second morning.

J&K have done well to take a lead in the first innings. They have crossed the 150-run mark and still have five wickets in hand. Can Mumbai pick a couple more wickets before stumps?

Jammu and Kashmir are set to take lead soon in the first innings having crossed the 100-run mark by losing just three wickets. Can Mumbai pick quick wickets and make a comeback?

J&K have done well in response to Mumbai's 120. They are 57/2 at tea and would be keen on not losing more wickets by the end of the day.

Mumbai have been bowled out for 120 with Shardul Thakur being the top-scorer, amassing 51. Yudhvir Charak and Umar Nazir ended up taking four wickets each.

Shardul Thakur has kept Mumbai in the hunt with a stunning half-century off 51 deliveries. But Mumbai are nine down already with 119 runs on the board. How many runs can Mumbai add? 

Auqib Nabi, who dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal at the start of the innings, has struck immediately after the lunch break sending back Tanush Kotian and has broke the stand. Mumbai are eight down now for 110.

An unbeaten stand of 64 runs between Shardul Thakur and Tanush Kotian has helped Mumbai get through to lunch without losing anymore wickets for almost 11 overs now. Still, a lot of work needs to be done but Mumbai will be glad with the repair job.

It seemed like a pack of cards for a moment with Umar Nazir running through the Mumbai line-up but Shardul Thakur and Tanush Kotian have taped the leak with a fifty-run stand. Mumbai's total has gone beyond 100 and the hosts will be hoping that they can get them to 150.

Another one for Yudhvir Singh Charak. Shreyas Iyer, who had made his intentions clear early into his innings with a six and four, has chipped straight to the hands of the long-on fielder. Iyer departs for 11, Mumbai are 47/7 in the 18th over.

Shams Mulani is the next casualty as Yudhvir Charak disturbs his stumps. Sixth one down for Mumbai as Charak gets into wickets for J&K. Mumbai 42/6 in 15.3 overs.

There's still one ball left in the 15th over but Mumbai are five down already and the tall Umar Nazir is running through their batting line-up. This time it's Shivam Dube, who is caught by Kanhaiya for a three-ball duck. Mumbai are 41/5 in 14.5 overs.

The tall, big unit of Umar Nazir is running through Mumbai's line-up like water through dams. Another one for him as Hardik Tamore, getting him plumb LBW. Mumbai are 41/4 in the 15th over.

A six and a four to start with, Shreyas Iyer is aware of how anyone can stay on this wicket. Iyer smashed a full ball from Umar straight over the bowler's head to announce his arrival, followed by a boundary. 

Mumbai are reeling at 30/3 in the 13th over as skipper Ajinkya Rahane departs now for 12. Umar Nazir used his height to good effect to bring another one in to Rahane and had his stumps in a mess. Mumbai are in deep trouble here with all three of their main batters now in pavilion.

The score is 20/2 after nine overs. Ajinkya Rahane, the captain, hit a sumptuous boundary through the covers but Umar Nazir and Auqib have been probing and haven't let the Mumbai batters get away. 

Rohit Sharma looked very patient and was wanting to spend a bit of time on the crease, however, has gotten out in the same way as he did in Adelaide recently. It was a short ball from Umar Nazir, who had bowled a couple of maiden overs to Rohit already, outside the off-stump. Rohit was early into his shot, got a leading edge and handed a simple catch towards the cover fielder, Paras Dogra, the J&K skipper. The swivel pull was cut in half as Rohit's treacherous run continued.

Nabi was probing Yashasvi Jaiswal's defence outside the off-stump. This one he brought in back sharply into the batter and Jaiswal was late on his shot. The ball thudded into Jaiswal's back pad and it looked out. It might have been the umpire's call or maybe missing the stumps but did look adjacent to the naked eye. Mumbai have lost an early wicket and Jaiswal departs cheaply.

Mumbai - 6/1 (3 overs)

Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are opening the batting in red-ball cricket but not for India, it's not a visual that anyone anticipated in 2025, but it is the reality. Mumbai will hope for a good start but the batters will have to be cautious in the first session on a grassy surface. Auqib Nabi to open the bowling for J&K.

Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane has won the toss and opted to bat first against Jammu and Kashmir in what looks like a good decision but the openers will have to be a little careful.

The match is taking place at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy ground in BKC, Mumbai. The wicket is pretty green, however, the grass is not uniform. It is dense on one half of the pitch and is expected to assist some early movement for the pacers. The sun is shining and hence, the wicket is dry underneath. If the batters are able to get through the first few hours, it should be a good batting wicket for the next four days. 

The last time Rohit Sharma played Ranji Trophy was back in November 2015, more than nine years ago against Uttar Pradesh when he smashed a 113. Rohit is going through a lean patch in Test cricket, which saw him score just 91 runs in six innings against New Zealand at home and now just 31 in five against Australia. Get Rohit get back amongst runs before the ODI series and the Champions Trophy?

Mumbai teams have always been star-studded. From Sunil Gavaskar to Ravi Shastri to Wasim Jaffer, Sachin Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli to now the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav - the stars sort of feel bad seeing so many big names in one team. Can this star-studded team put a show?

The BCCI has been a bit big on the national and established stars also playing domestic cricket and that has seen the likes of Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja among others participating for their respective teams in the red-ball competition, especially after the Test season debacle. India lost six of their last eight Test matches while winning just one and before the England tour, how fast the transition button is pressed could depend on these one or two Ranji matches.
