Aided by a fine century by skipper Sanjay Verma, Services made amends to a disastrous start, ending the third day at 312 for 9 in their North Zone Ranji Trophy match against Haryana at the Air Force Station Ground in New Delhi on Saturday. Services are still 77 runs behind Haryana's first innings total of 389.
Resuming at the overnight score of 84 for 4, Sanjay Verma (116) in the company of KK Dixit (57) took the score on to 166. Dixit was the first to be dismissed, caught behind by Ajay Ratra off Mishra. Then Maithrey (40) joined his skipper to forge a 77 run sixth wicket stand. In the meantime Sanjay reached his century after a 305 minute stay at the crease. Sanjay then fell with the score at 253, bowled by Jain.
Thereafter SD Nadkarni (20) and S Javed (36) helped the score along to 303 with a fifty run stand for the eighth wicket. Javed finally fell in the 112th over of the innings when stumps were drawn.
