good way to finish the day
The day did not start quite well for Mumbai
But has surely ended on a very good note
At one stage Mumbai wre 82/5 and everyone expected Aussies to bat
this evening
But Bahutule and Dighe put on a very good 117 run partnership for
the 6th wicket
After a short while, Dighe and Powar put up 63 runs for the 8th
wicket with Powar smashing the ball all over the park
Now Powar shares an unbroken 32 run partnership for the 10th wicket
The Australians are being frustrated by the Mumbai tailenders
McGrath started the day very well as usual
But he was taken for some runs towards the end of the day by Powar
and Mhanbrey as they swung their bat around
Warne was also not very impressive
Dighe put up a brave 84 before he was caught well by Gilchrist
