Delhi were marching steadily towards achieving their goal of securing the all-important first innings lead in their match against Railways at the Karnail Singh Stadium, Delhi. Opener Gautam Gambhir was the man leading the march; he was batting on 142 off 315 balls. His opening partner Akash Chopra too was among the runs scoring 62 before being bowled.

With two more days to go, Delhi, currently 262 for three, have enough time to overhaul the Railways score of 497. The first session on Saturday will though prove crucial and a couple of wickets to Railways will bring them right back into the game.
