But Lad could add only 23 runs to his overnight tally before being caught by Rohit Motani off Samad Fallah. Shubham Ranjane remained unbeaten on 54, but Mumbai fell well short of the hosts' tally of 352. For the hosts, Ashay Palkar claimed 4-62. Mumbai fought back to reduce Maharashtra to 112 for five at stumps, whose overall lead was 191.
