A couple of edges here and there, but otherwise a very solid start to the morning by the two overnight batters. 76/1 after 23 overs, with both players batting well, and the crowd maybe even slightly rooting against them as they wait for Kohli to head to the crease.

Upendra coped with the electric atmosphere to take Railways to 241 after it was tottering at 66 for five. At the close of play, Delhi was 41 for one, with Kohli slated to come in when a wicket falls on Fridy.
