I Srinivas joined Watekar and the duo added 63 runs for the fifth wicket before Watekar was dismissed by Amol Majumdar. Watekar scored 37 (4x4, 166 minutes, 119 balls).

At lunch, Andhra were 232 for five. 

In the second session, Robin Morris caused most of the damage to Andhra, taking the wickets of S Sriniwas (33) and  R V Ch Prasad (0) in his 13th over. He went on to take one more wicket.

Andhra's Shahbuddin (15) was caught behind off Nilesh Kulkarni as the home team lost five wickets after lunch before they were all out for 298.

Mumbai now have 13 points from four matches, while Andhra have six after four matches.
