Parab hits ton for Baroda

November 09, 2003 19:42 IST

Baroda opening batsman Satyajit Parab slammed 121 to help his team reach 219 for four in their second innings on the penultimate day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Elite Group A cricket match against defending champions Mumbai at the Wankhede stadium on Sunday.

The visitors, who had conceded a 111-run first innings lead, were just 108 runs ahead with six second innings wickets intact and the whole day to go tomorrow.

Earlier, Mumbai, resuming at their overnight score of 278 for 6 lost Robin Morris for the addition of just one run off the third ball of the morning. Morris was bowled by Shekhar Joshi without adding anything to his overnight score of 51.

Century maker Vinod Kambli was the next to go when left arm seamer Rakesh Patel had the southpaw clean bowled for 114, which came off 197 balls in 268 minutes and included ten fours.

Mumbai skipper Nilesh Kulkarni hung around for some time along with Swapnil Hazare (15 off 29) before the former was bowled by Irfan Pathan for 20.

With Hazare nicking a Patel outswinger to Nayan Mongia, the host's first innings ended for 324 off 100.5 overs with Aavishkar Salvi remaining unbeaten on four.

Right arm medium pacer Shekhar Joshi (4/81) was the most successful Baroda bowler and he was supported well by Patel (3/103) and Pathan (3/40).

Baroda opening batsmen Parab and skipper Connor Williams (50) gave their team a flying start with a 107-run stand before the visitors lost two quick wickets – that of Williams and Himanshu Jadav (7).
