J&K pacer Auqib snares 5/35 as Delhi struggle with the bat

Simarjeet moved the ball both ways to first dismiss Shubham Khajuria, who was caught by ‘Ayush Doseja and then removed Qamran Iqbal, who edged one to Sanat Sangwan in the slips. Nightwatchman Sunil Kumar was bowled by an incoming delivery as Delhi smelt blood during the final hour of the day at Feroze Shah Kotla ground.

With the new ball only 13 overs old, Simarjeet and fellow pacer Money Grewal would like to exploit the moisture.
