NEW DELHI, November 20: Fine bowling efforts by Amit Suman (6 for 14) and Rakesh Raman Jha (4 for 33) and a worthy 59 by Sohail Rauf helped Delhi take 95-run lead against Himachal in the Cooch Behar (under-19) Trophy tournament at the Kotla on the opening day here today.

Put in, Himachal were skittled out for a paltry 62 in 25.3 overs with Suman doing the maximum damage. Yadvender topscored with 23.

In reply, Delhi made 157, thanks to Rau and Gambhir (34) as their batsmen wilted under the guile of Ajay Pratap, who claimed seven wickets for 56 runs. Amit also chipped in with three scalps.

Himachal were four without loss in their second essay.

Brief Scores: HP 62 and 4 for no loss (Yadvender 23, Amit Suman 6 for 14, R.R. Jha 4 for 33); Delhi 157 (S. Rauf 59, Gautam Gambhir 34 and Bhupinder Singh 21, Ajay Pratap 7 for 56 and Amit 3 for 56).
