Saurashtra spent an entire day and 93 overs to finish on 208/4 on the first day of their Ranji Trophy league match against Mumbai at Mumbai on Saturday.

Winning the toss, Saurashtra opted to take first strike at the Wankhede Stadium. Opener PP Joshi was dismissed with the score on 60, having made just 10 off 45 balls. His partner Sujith Somasunder scored faster, making 48 off as many balls before falling five runs after Joshi's dismissal.

Thereafter, it was all Sitanshu Kotak. Unbeaten at the close, he scored abominably slowly, making 53 off 231 balls. Partners came and went at the other end, but Kotak's adherence to the crease ensured that Saurashtra did not lose too many wickets.

FU Bhambhaniya accompanied Kotak at the close of play, unbeaten on 13 off 81 balls. For Mumbai, Paras Mhambrey took 3-36 off 18.1 overs.
