Nagpur: Abhinav Mukund hit his seventh first-class hundred and, though Murali Vijay fell short of three figures, Rest of India had taken complete control of the Irani Cup on the fourth day.
The openers were dismissed late in the first session and S Badrinath went in the second, but Manoj Tiwary ensured that ROI further tightened their grip on the game with a patient half-century.
A persistent drizzle brought a slightly early end to the first session and it returned later to prevent any play from happening in the last. With only a day left, and the weather looking iffy, this game appeared to be moving towards a draw.
Tiwary started off slowly, reaching 6 from 63 balls, before he got going with an edged boundary to third man. That boundary seemed to turn the tide for him and he began to play shots more frequently. He used his feet well against the spinners, driving straight and lifting them inside-out over covers. By the end of the second session, ROI's lead had reached 382 and they still had six wickets in hand.
Brief score
Rest of India: 260 and 352 for 4 (Mukund 126, Vijay 91, Tiwary 80*)
Mumbai: 230
Status: ROI lead by 382-runs
