The use of background quasars provides a powerful tool to probe the cool gasin the circum-galactic medium of foreground galaxies. Here, we present newobservations with SINFONI and X-Shooter of absorbing-galaxy candidates atz=0.7-1. We report the detection with both instruments of the H-alpha emissionline of one sub-DLA at z_abs=0.94187 with log N(HI)=19.38^+0.10_-0.15 towardsSDSS J002133.27+004300.9. We estimate the star formation rate: SFR=3.6+/-2.2solar masses per year in that system. A detailed kinematic study indicates adynamical mass M_dyn=10^9.9+/-0.4 solar masses and a halo massM_halo=10^11.9+/-0.5 solar masses. In addition, we report the OII detectionwith X-Shooter of another DLA at z_abs=0.7402 with log N(HI)=20.4+/-0.1 towardQ0052+0041 and an estimated SFR of 5.3+/-0.7 solar masses per year. Three otherobjects are detected in the continuum with X-Shooter but the nature andredshift of two of these objects are unconstrained due to the absence ofemission lines, while the third object might be at the redshift of the quasar.We use the objects detected in our whole N(HI)-selected SINFONI survey tocompute the metallicity difference between the galaxy and the absorbing gas,delta_HI(X), where a positive (negative) value indicates infall (outflow). Wecompare this quantity with the quasar line of sight alignment with the galaxy'smajor (minor) axis, another tracer of infall (outflow). We find that thesequantities do not correlate as expected from simple assumptions. Additionalobservations are necessary to relate these two independent probes of gas flowsaround galaxies.
