Yashasvi Jaiswal and Satyalaksh Jain star on the first day of Vijay Merchant trophy U-16 | MCA

Mumbai elected to bat first after winning the toss in the Vijay Merchant U-16 tournament against Maharashtra.

Mumbai got off to a bad start, loosing Suved Parker and inform Arjun Tendulkar for less than 60 runs.  But 2 down and 3 downs for Mumbai, Yashasvi and Satyalaksh respectively got together and played brilliantly carrying their team to safety.

Yashasvi scored 92 hitting 11 fours and 3 sixes while Satyalaksh scored 93 hitting 14 boundaries. Unfortunately none of them could convert their knocks to centuries.  The first day ended with Mumbai at 297 for the loss of 7 wickets. For Maharashtra, Mohite took 3 wickets while Dongre and Aklujkar took 2 wickets each.  At the end of first days play Atharv Ankolkar and Tanvish Vaze were at the crease and Mumbai would hope their tail can wag a little more to post at least 350.
