8 OUT! STUMPED! Axar Patel draws first blood for India! He gets his man after being hit for a maximum earlier in the over! Axar Patel pushes it through with the arm, short and around middle and leg, Rahmanullah Gurbaz premeditates as he dances down the track and swings blindly to launch a big shot back over the bowler's head. The ball slides on with the arm and beats him on the inside edge. The ball skids off the deck but Jitesh Sharma does well to gather it to his left and takes the bails quickly. 50/1

8.2 OUT! TAKEN! An inspired bowling change by Rohit Sharma as Shivam Dube strikes in his first over! Afghanistan lose both openers in quick succession! Not the best of deliveries by Dube, short and outside off, there to be put away, Ibrahim Zadran uses his feet and cannot get the shot away as he would have liked. Hits it flat and straight towards extra cover. Rohit Sharma takes a sharp catch as he reverse cups to his right, near his head. Having dropped Ibrahim Zadran earlier in the game, Shivam Dube has redeemed himself here! 50/2

17.1 OUT! DRAGGED ON! A bit unlucky for Azmatullah Omarzai but Mukesh Kumar will take it with both hands. Pitches this one full and wide outside off at 133.7 clicks and it is there to be put away. Omarzai doesn't quite move his feet and just tries to reach out with those long levers and cream it through covers but ends up getting a big inside edge. The ball chops back into the stumps and the bails come off. Omarzai departs after a good knock and India get a timely wicket. 125/4

10 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Axar Patel strikes again! Rahmat Shah walks back without scoring much in his debut T20I inning! Continues from around the wicket and uses that angle to his advantage again. Fires it in, fractionally short and around off, Rahmat Shah is a bit late to decide whether to play this one off the back foot or the front foot. He opts to rock back but he is late in doing so. The ball skids off the deck and catches the under edge of his angled bat before going on to hit the off-stump. 57/3

18 OUT! CAUGHT! All the extra deliveries and Mukesh Kumar ends up with a big wicket, his second of the over. Keeps coming from over the wicket and digs it in a bit short and pushes it well outside the off stump. Mohammad Nabi has to really reach for it and ends up carving it off the outer half of the bat towards deep point. Rinku Singh misjudges it a bit in the loghts but does well to dive forward and take it with both hands. Nabi departs after a fiery knock. 130/5

0.2 OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! Chaos in the middle and the skipper Rohit Sharma is devastated with that. Fazalhaq Farooqi serves it nice and full on the stumps, Sharma charges down the track and firms it to the right of mid off where Ibrahim Zadran makes an excellent diving stop. Sharma sets off for the single which seemed to be on but his partner Shubman Gill was ball watching. Rohit is at the other end but Gill is at the same end as well. Zadran picks up the ball and throws it back to the keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz who whips off the bails and it is a frustrating start for India. Sharma gives a piece of his mind to Gill while walking back as well. 0/1

3.5 OUT! STUMPED! Mujeeb Ur Rahman has the last laugh here and picks up a huge wicket for his side. A clever piece of bowling as Mujeeb just holds this one back a touch and slides it in past the leg stump. Shubman Gill charges down the track but is beaten in the flight completely and ends up running past the ball. Rahmanullah Gurbaz does well to collect the ball sharply to his left and whips off the bails before Gill can even turn back. 28/2

8.4 OUT! TAKEN! What a ripper of a catch from Gulbadin Naib and the bowling change has done the trick for Afghanistan. Just a fraction shorter from Azmatullah Omarzai around the off stump. Tilak Varma looks to repeat the trick from the previous over as he swivels across and looks to pull it flat over long leg. Gulbadin Naib in the deep comes a bit too ahead and seems to have lost it in the light but does brilliantly to jump back and grab it out of thin air with both hands. Naib flexes his biceps to the crowd and Varma departs after a solid start. 72/3

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mujeeb Ur Rahman strikes on his return to the attack and Afghanistan cling on! Jitesh Sharma holes out! Drags his length back and bowls it on middle, Jitesh Sharma goes deep in his crease to muscle the pull away. He hits this one more straight than he would have liked and fails to get the elevation. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of Ibrahim Zadran at long on, who takes a few steps back and reverse cups it with ease. 117/4
