Zaheer Khan's seven wickets for 54 runs, including four wickets in eight deliveries, steered Uttar Pradesh's first innings collapse and give Mumbai a huge 157-run lead in the Ranji Trophy final at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

When Zaheer was brought on for his last spell, Uttar Pradesh were at 214 for 4. With Shivakant Shukla needing one run to complete his second successive ton and all-rounder Bhuvaneshwar Kumar striking the ball well, UP were very much in the hunt of Mumbai's first innings score of 402.
