Shaw is still in pain

"He is having a little pain and hence he won't bat in the second essay," the media manager at the Bandra Kurla Complex ground said.

Shaw, while saving an overthrow, had hurt his left shoulder in the last session on Friday and had undergone an MRI scan in presence of Mumbai's physio.Karnataka resumed their innings on their overnight score of 79 for three and were eventually bundled out for 218, taking a first-innings lead of 24 runs.
