Mumbai: Mumbai amassed a mammoth first innings total of 602 for six declared and then took two early wickets of Hyderabad before the visitors recovered poise on the second day of the four-day Ranji Trophy Elite Division Group A match here on Wednesday.
At stumps, Hyderabad were 82 for two wickets, still 520 runs behind Mumbai, with eight wickets in hand.
At the crease with an unfinished stand of 76 in 19.5 overs were opener T Suman (40 in 90 balls with two sixes and three fours) and left-hander Anoop Pai, who quickly got into groove to be unbeaten on 35 in 59 balls with eight fours.
The Mumbai total, their third highest against Hyderabad in the national championship, was built around skipper Wasim Jaffer's marathon innings of 256 and his record 335-run stand for the second wicket with one-down Ajinkya Rahane (137).
Hyderabad snapped up five Mumbai wickets as the hosts slumped from the overnight 366 for one to 486 for six, before Ajit Agarkar used the long handle to clout five sixes and two fours in a whirlwind, unbeaten knock of 77 in 112 balls.
Agarkar and Sairaj Bahutule, unconquered on 40 in two hours, took the Mumbai total past the 600 mark with an unfinished seventh-wicket stand of 116 runs in 33.5 overs before Jaffer applied closure 22 minutes before tea.
For Hyderabad medium pacer M P Arjun stole the bowling honours. He grabbed four wickets for 99 runs, taking three wickets for 32 runs in two spells lasting nine overs in all.
The visitors started their reply dismally by losing opener D Ravi Teja for a duck and one-down Rushi Raj (2) with only six runs on the board before Suman and Pai who played attractive shots, steadied the rocking boat.
