After being invited to bat, Services lost wickets at regular intervals to give the hosts an early advantage in the match.
Skipper Soomik Chatarjee (2) was the first one to return to the hut when he was castled by left-arm seamer Atchuta Rao off the third ball of the second over.
It was a double blow for Services as Rao got rid of Anshul Gupta in the following delivery to leave the visitors reeling at two for two.
Opener Prateek Desai and Yashpal Singh (20) tried to resurrect the Services innings but with latter falling prey to medium-pacer Sayed Sahabuddin in the 12th over, it was a laborious task for the visiting batsmen from there on.
Desai was the next one to go after compiling a painstaking 19 off 66 balls.
Duvvarapu Shivkumar then dismissed Soumyaranjan Swain on the stroke of stumps to get his second wicket of the match.
At the close of the day Rajat Paliwal was batting on 10 in company of Sarabjit Singh.
Brief scores:
Services 1st innings: 73 for five in 28 overs (Soumyaranjan Swain 21; Duvvarapu Shivkumar 2/15).
