Valthaty strikes for Mumbai

But the 15-year-old Patel’s efforts went in vain as Paul Valthaty ran through Gujarat innings and left them with little hope of gaining a lead. Valthaty took four for 24 from seven overs and has put Mumbai back in command on a day when 17 wickets fell.

Only number three batsman Bhavik Thakar displayed resistance, remaining unbeaten on 22 and keeping meagre Gujarat hopes alive as they go into day two.
