Delhi, who were forced to follow on, had reached 395/4 when the match was called off. Resuming on 142/1, Delhi lost captain Dhruv Shorey in the first hour of play. Off-spinner Jalaj Saxena sent back Shorey for 20. Chandela (125) found an able ally in Rana and the two kept the Kerala bowlers at bay for close to 30 overs.
