Scorecard

An accomplished bowling performance from Railways restricted Rest of India to a disappointing 223 on the opening day of the Irani Trophy match in Delhi. Kulamani Parida, with 4 for 61, ended with the best figures but the significant damage was done by Harvinder Singh and Murali Kartik.

The game was very different during the opening exchanges after Rest of India had chosen to bat. Gautam Gambhir and Dheeraj Jadhav laid a solid platform with a stand of 82 before Parida made the first breakthrough.

Once Railways had made an opening wickets fell at regular intervals as 117 for 1 became 179 for 7 at tea. Jadhav reached his half-century but fell shortly afterwards, trapped lbw by Harvinder. Kartik removed Suresh Raina and Venugopal Rao while Parthiv Patel also fell to Harvinder.

Parida's offspin wrapped up the tail during the evening session leaving Amit Pagnis and Sanjay Bangar with six overs to play out to end a highly satisfactory day for Railways.
