On the first day (20th February) he began operations by entrenching at Shahpur, a pettah or walled village nestling under the fort of Sagar. His two wings were placed in two gardens under Abdul Ghafur and Ikhlas Khan; the centre under Dilir himself took post near the canal. All day an exchange of fire from matchlocks and camel-swivels was kept up. In the evening the Berad infantry charged and drove back Abdul Ghafur’s wing with some loss. At sunset Dilir withdrew to Gogi.
