Earlier, resuming at the overnight score of 291 for one, Mumbai's Rahane was shaping up well towards achieving a deserving century but his stay at the crease ended as he stepped out to drive Makwana was holed out to Kotak.

Then on, it turned out to be a fruitful innings as Jaffer in the company of Tendulkar made sure that they take the centre stage and take Mumbai to the road to achieve a final entry.

Jaffer, required to lead from the front, did a perfect job and his mates from the dressing room came out to celebrate his triple century with a push through the cover point for a single of Dhruve. But, the joy was shortlived as jaffer was out with the addition of one more run.

Amol Muzumdar, who required 42 runs to becoming the highest run-getter in the history of Ranji Trophy, failed when he fished an outside the off-stump delivery from Balakrishna Jadeja but snicked to the wicket-keeper Jogiyani.

Rohit Sharma was adjudged leg before to Balakrishna Jadeja for 28 and Ajit Agarkar also made his exit with just two runs to his credit.
