Led by skipper Gautam Gambhir's 153 in the second innings, Delhi are well on the way to their first victory in the Ranji Trophy season against Haryana at the Roshanara Club Ground here on Saturday.
Haryana ended the third day at 63-5, chasing 376 in the third round of the tournament after the hosts had declared at 312-5.
Resuming the day at 35 for no loss, opening batsman Unmukt Chand (19), batting with Gambhir, faltered at the start. He was followed by Virender Sehwag (6), who again failed to make an impact.
Later, Gambhir put on an important 80-run third-wicket partnership with Mithun Manhas, who retired hurt on 36. Left hander Vaibhav Rawal (7) also perished quickly.
