Abey road helps Mumbai find their way of outright loss

Amol Rane (22) was the only batsman to depart, caught and bowled by Vishal Yadav.

In the morning, Kuruvilla struck in quick succession removing overnight batsmen Devang Gandhi and Vishal Yadav after Bengal resumed at 21 for 2.

Nilesh Kulkarni, Rajesh Pawar and Ramesh Powar then took two wickets each as none of the Bengal batsmen offer any resistance. Only captain Utpal Chatterjee (27), Srikant Kalyani (11) and Rohan Gavaskar (23) reached double figures.

Bengal bowlers were then made to look ordinary as both Rane and Jaffer punished the loose deliveries.
