12.4 OUT! TAKEN! Shardul Thakur has taken a fantastic catch on the ropes and the replays confirm the same. Hardik Pandya bends his back and bangs in a good short ball over middle and leg. Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks to take it on but gets hurried and gets a bit of a top edge that carries down to the backward square leg fence. Thakur runs around to his left and takes a good catch but has the presence of the mind to lob up the ball before stepping over the ropes. Thakur gets back in and takes it on the second attempt. The birthday boy gets his first wicket of the game as Gurbaz goes after being set. 63/2

6.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah draws first blood as he has so often done! Bumrah goes wide of the crease on this occasion and angles it in, at the batter, short of a good length, Ibrahim Zadran camps on the back foot and tries to block it out with a straight bat. The ball nips away a touch after pitching but enough to get the outside edge. KL Rahul accepts the catch with both hands by diving low to his right. Bumrah points to his head and stands there all smiles. A much-needed early wicket for India. 32/1

13.1 OUT! LBW! Shardul Thakur pitches this one up around middle, angling it in. Rahmat Shah looks to drive it straight but plays all around it and gets rapped in front. Looks dead straight and the finger is raised! Rahmat Shah though concurs with his partner at the other end and has opted for the review. Clear gap between bat and pad and Ball Tracking shows the wickets as the umpire's call and the onfield decision stands. Thakur gets the third breakthrough for India and Afghanistan in a slight spot of bother. 63/3

42.4 OUT! LBW! Kuldeep Yadav gets the big fish! This is floated up, on off and middle, Hashmatullah Shahidi crouches and goes for the reverse sweep. The ball sneaks under his bat and catches him on the front thigh. India go up in unison and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. He has gone for the review though. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. End of a fine knock by the Afghan skipper and Kuldeep Yadav has his first wicket of the game. 225/5

34.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Hardik Pandya with a lovely change-up to break the stand. Takes pace off the ball and bowls it on a good length around off. This is the off cutter and it grips a bit in the pitch. Azmatullah Omarzai backs away and looks to open the face of the bat and guide it away but is undone by the lack of pace and the ball knocks over the top of off stump. A top knock from Omarzai comes to an end and Hardik Pandya has his second wicket. 184/4

45 OUT! LBW! Two in the over for Jasprit Bumrah and this is a big blow for Afghanistan! Pacy delivery, slanting in, on middle and leg, Mohammad Nabi tries to clip it away but the ball skids on and thuds into the front pad. Jasprit Bumrah goes up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger instantly. Nabi takes the review, more in hope though. The UltraEdge shows no bat and wickets is umpire's call on Ball Tracking. Afghanistan keep their review but lose Mohammad Nabi. 235/7

44.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah foxes Najibullah Zadran with a slower delivery! Afghanistan are losing their way here. Cleverly rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls it full and a bit wide outside off, Najibullah Zadran is tempted by the width and tries to go over extra cover. Gets undone by the lack of pace and slices it in the air towards deep cover. Virat Kohli runs from deep cover and completes the catch with ease. 229/6

48.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Taken brilliantly on the second attempt by Kuldeep Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah bangs this one in halfway down the track and well outside off. Rashid Khan has to reach for it a bit and plays the uppercut over backward point. The ball goes very high and two fielders converge. Kuldeep Yadav rushes in from deep point as Ravindra Jadeja also runs back from inside the ring. Yadav puts in the dives and the ball pops right out of his hands but Yadav shows good awareness to stick out both hands and pouch it safely. 261/8

25.4 OUT! TIMBER! Rashid Khan is elated but Rohit Sharma has done his job here. Rashid bowls this one from the back of the hand and pushes it through quicker and fuller on off. Sharma gets down on one knee looking for the sweep but ends up playing all around it. The ball turns in and hits the stumps as Sharma walks back after a sensational ton, breaking a few notable records along the way as well. 205/2

18.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A soft dismissal and it is none other than Rashid Khan who strikes! Bowls a googly, full and around leg, Ishan Kishan tries to turn it away on the leg side. The ball grips in the surface and does not come on quickly onto the bat. Ishan closes the bat face early and gets a leading edge. Lobs it tamely to extra cover where Ibrahim Zadran does the rest. Finally a wicket for Afghanistan, but is it a little too late? 156/1
