Vaibhav Rawal struck a fine century, while skipper Himmat Singh returned to his class with a fifty as Delhi took a vital first-innings lead over Mumbai in a Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy match here on Wednesday.


After bowling out Mumbai for 293 in their first innings on Tuesday, Delhi rode on Rawal and Singh’s fine knocks to reach 316-7, a lead of 23 runs on the second day of the four-day match.


But the start was far from rosy for Delhi as they lost both their openers—Vaibhav Sharma and Dhruv Shorey—early.


Hrithik Shokeen made a stroke-filled 45 off 60 balls. But IPL specialist Nitish Rana and Shokeen fell in quick succession as Delhi slumped to 88-4.

Then Rawal and skipper Singh joined hands and carried Delhi forward with a 195-fifth-wicket stand. But just when Singh was looking dangerous, he was stumped by Prasad Pawar off the bowling of Shams Mulani in the 80th over.

Rawal, who made 114 off 195 balls with the help of 16 boundaries, followed suit soon, bowled by Mulani. Delhi lost another wicket in the form of wicketkeeper Anuj Rawat (14).

Brief scores
Mumbai 293 all out v Delhi 316-7 (V Rawal 114, H Singh 85, H Shokeen 45; M Avasthi 2-42, T Deshpande 2-78, S Mulani 2-90)
