In response, Odisha started disastrously and lost three wickets without a run on the board. Things got worse for Odisha when skipper Govind Poddar fell for two to leave the team at four for two. Shantanu Mishra (36) and Biplab Samantaray (72 not out) repaired the damage with a 93-run partnership. Mumbai bowlers ran through the lower order to dismiss Odisha for 145 as Vijay D Gohil and Abhishek Nayar scalped three wickets each. Prithvi Shaw played positively even as fellow opener Akhil Herwadkar (3) was content to play second fiddle before falling with the total at 36. Ajinkya Rahane did not last long and leg-before to Mohanty for a duck. Odisha struck late in the day to remove Shaw for 46 to leave Mumbai at 58-3 at stumps, an overall lead of 202 runs.
