After bowling Delhi out for 211 on the opening day, Jammu and Kashmir were left struggling at 31/3 overnight. The start was not any brighter as they slipped to 46/4. But a 141-run stand between Dogra (106 off 183 balls, 11x4s, 1x6s) and Samad (85 off 112 balls, 12x4s, 1x6s) helped them recover. J&K were eventually bowled out for 310 with Simarjeet Singh returning 16.2-1-52-6.

Simarjeet had struck thrice on the opening day evening to tilt the balance in favour of Delhi but his effort was not enough.

Six sixes in an over

Meghalaya's Akash Choudhary made history by becoming only the third player in first-class cricket to smash six sixes in an over and scoring the fastest fifty in the format. He did so by hitting an unprecedented eight sixes in a row, en route to his ll-ball fifty.
