Delhi look to deny Baroda the innings lead

Monday morning finally brought some relief for Delhi, who after toiling on the park for two days, wrapped up the Baroda first innings but still found themselves sitting on the fence after being reduced to 215/3 at the end of the third day.

The fourth and the last day for Delhi now will be more about not conceding the first innings lead.
