Ranji Trophy Round 3 Day 2 Live Score and Updates. (Express photo by Nirmal Harindran)Ranji Trophy 2022, Round 3, Day 2 Live Score Streaming and Updates: A buoyant Mumbai are eyeing an outright win, which is needed for the domestic heavyweights to stay in contention for the knockouts, as they square off against Odisha in their last Elite Group D Ranji Trophy game from Thursday. Currently, Mumbai top the group with nine points, having won their last match against Goa and taken the first-innings lead against Saurashtra.
If Mumbai beat Odisha, then they will get six points to take their aggregate to 15. In case they earn a bonus point, they will have 16 points. Saurashtra are placed second in the group with eight points and if they defeat Goa, they will have 14 points. If Mumbai secure a first-innings lead, and Saurashtra win, then the latter go through. So the Amol Muzumdar-coached side would be desperate to go all guns blazing for a win with a bonus point.
Skipper Prithvi Shaw would be keen to get some runs under his belt and ditto for experienced campaigner Ajinkya Rahane, who has been dropped from the national team for the two Tests against Sri Lanka. Young batter Sarfaraz Khan is also in prime form, and would be keen to continue his good run against Odisha.

Bhavnagar-born Chirag Jani is going through a purple patch. A week after scoring his maiden double hundred against Odisha in the Ranji Trophy, the Saurashtra batsman made a century (140) against Goa. Jani was asked to bat at No.3 for the first time and made the opportunity count in the previous round. He seems to be comfortable in his new batting position as his century on Thursday came when batting at one down.
“I am an all-rounder. I bat in the middle order and I am a medium pacer. I usually bat at number 6 or 7. I got a golden chance to bat at No.3 for the very first time in my career and I scored 235 runs in 373 balls against Odisha,” Jani had told this paper after last week’s exploits.
It feels good to score 300-plus runs on the first day, it gives us the advantage, let's us control the game more. We did a pretty decent job while batting today, losing a couple of wickets less would've made things even better. How Anustup Majumder played today was very important for us, we stitched a good partnership. Manoj Tiwary and Sayan Sekhar Mondal made a crucial partnership that gotten us closer to the total we expected. It was a decent day for us.
I am not at all satisfied. I had the opportunity to score big and take my team to a bigger total, I missed out on that. We'll make sure we get a good total on the board. The wicket helped the fast bowlers for an hour and a half, not much help for the spinners.
