J&K breeze to seven wicket triumph

Jammu & Kashmir took just an hour and a quarter to wrap up a seven wicket victory against Services on the third day of their North Zone Ranji Trophy clash at Jammu. J&K now move to 16 points from three games while Services have just three from the same number.

Resuming at 44/1 in pursuit of a target of 108, J&K lost Ajay Bhatti to the first ball of the day, bowled by Syed Javed. But that was only a minor hiccup as Vijay Sharma (29) and Kanwaljeet Singh (29 not out) steered the hosts to the doorstep of victory before the former contrived to get himself out with one run required. Victory was sealed two balls later.
