Karnataka end up conceding a lead of 103 runs and at this stage their hopes rest on an exceptional bowling effort and an even more exceptional batting effort. It was Agarkar who started the slide for Karnataka and Salvi continued it with a brilliant spell. He bowled very well and cut off the batsman's scoring areas. Now he can sit back and enjoy the five wicket haul

Salvi to Mithun, OUT, and Salvi has five! He pitches one on the off stump and gets it to move in a touch. Mithun looks like he is playing for the straight delivery and is rapped above the knee roll. Salvi is happy and Mumbai fielders converge in a huddle for a job well done
