Brief scores: Jammu and Kashmir 221 & 200 bt Services 263 & 128 (S Verma 49; Singh 3-18, Gupta 3-29).

Sehvag effort in vain

LUDHIANA: Delhi, needing 126 more for the first innings lead after resuming at 405 for six in the morning, were galloping towards the target, thanks to Virender Sehwag’s mighty onslaught. But Delhi finishedtheir first innings at 527, three short of Punjab’s first innings total of 530-7 declared. Punjab thus collected five points to Delhi’s three, with their overall tallies at 29 and 24, respectively. With a game each to go, only an outright defeat for Punjab in their last game can help Delhi dislodge them atop the zonal leaderboard.

Sehwag was the ninth man to go, hitting nine sixes and 20 boundaries in his 175-ball 187.

Brief scores: Punjab 530-7 and 227-3 (Yuvraj Singh 60, Dinesh Mongia not out 101) vs Delhi 527
