Sarfaraz Khan continued his purple patch, slamming an unbeaten century to put Mumbai in the driver’s seat in their Ranji Trophy Elite group D match against Odisha here on Friday.

Sarfaraz smashed 11 fours and a six in his 117-ball 107 not out and he was ably supported by Armaan Jaffer (77 not out) and opener Prithvi Shaw (53 off 64 balls) at the top as Mumbai reached 259-3 after dismissing Odisha for 284 on Day Two. Sarfaraz and Jaffer were at the crease at the draw of stumps with table toppers Mumbai, who need an outright win to stay in contention for the knockouts, just 25 runs behind Odisha’s first innings total.
