Shantanu Mishra scored a responsible 89 to anchor Odisha to 250-6 at stumps on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy group D match here on Thursday after skipper Subhranshu Senapati won the toss and elected to bat against Mumbai.

Mishra struck 11 hits to the fence in his 213-ball innings. Other batsmen got starts but failed to capitalise as Mumbai managed to take regular wickets. For Mumbai, Mohit Avasthi (2-48) and Tanush Kotian (2-65) picked up two wickets each. Meanwhile, Chirag Jani hit a superb 140 while Sheldon Jackson smashed an unbeaten 96 as Saurashtra reached 343-7 at stumps on Day One of their group D match against Goa.

Chirag slammed 22 fours and two sixes in his 190-ball knock, while Jackson struck six fours and five maximums during his 119-ball unfinished innings after Saurashtra decided to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium here. Saurashtra lost opener Snell Patel for a duck but Chirag and Harvik Desai (14) steadied the innings with a 75-run stand.

Test discard Cheteshwar Pujara's (28) struggle to convert the starts continued and once again he was back in the pavilion after being trapped in front following a 47-ball stay. Jackson then joined hands with Chirag and the duo stitched together 102 runs to take Saurashtra to 250.
