After Robin Singh bowled Delhi to a first innings lead in their encounter against Services it was Ashish Nehra's turn to come good in the second innings. After securing a 32 run lead, Delhi made 235 in their second essay.
Akash Chopra (46) and Pradeep Chawla (69) made the only noteworthy scores of the day as Rao, Maitrey and Ghag snared three wickets apiece. Delhi were dismissed for 235. This left Services with a target of 268 for victory. However, any joy for Services was short lived as left arm seamer Ashish Nehra bowled a decisive spell. In a 9 over burst that yielded 5/25 Nehra reduced Services to shambles. Amit Bhandari with 2/34 and Rahul Sanghvi with one wicket made Services' misery complete. Sanjay Verma with an unbeaten 29 provided the lone resistance as Services slumped to 83/8. Tomorrow, the last day will be more than enough time for Delhi to wrap up the match.
