WICKET! Is it? Musheer gets an outside edge onto the keeper. But the umpires want to double check if the ball carries cleanly. Nope, not out! The replay shows the ball comes off the pad and not the bat. Musheer goes on.

Shreyas Iyer inching closer to his century. While he was collecting boundaries at will until now, they have dried up just a bit. The partnership between Iyer and Musheer is now worth 157 runs.

Musheer tries to sweep at a full-length delivery from Dubey. Aman Mokhade is positioned at mid wicket, and he dives to his right to try and pluck a screamer. He gets a hand to it but the power behind the shot ensures the ball pops out of his right hand.

Hundred for Musheer! The second of his First-Class career. Gets it on his pads from Yash, and he clips it away to run two and get to the ton. He ends the over with a cut over the slip cordon for FOUR.

Musheer is just two runs away from getting to his century.
