Left-arm spinner Parth Rekhade struck thrice in an over as Mumbai slipped to a precarious 188 for seven in reply to Vidarbha’s first innings total of 383, trailing by 195 runs at stumps on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy semi-final here on Tuesday.

Mumbai opener Akash Anand was battling at one end, unbeaten on 67, with the last recognised batter, Tanush Kotian, on five not out at the other, as their title defence came under intense pressure from a disciplined and persistent Vidarbha side on their home ground at the VCA Stadium here.
