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.

Drinks break! Just when it was turning out to be a good start for Afghanistan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz holed out. Rahmat Shah has spent some time out in the middle and will look to take the innings forward with Hashmatullah Shahidi on what looks like a tricky surface.

The birthday boy gets his first wicket of the game as Gurbaz goes after being set.

12.3 overs (0 Run) Nicely bowled! It is the off cutter, a bit fuller and nipping back in a long way from off stump. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is taken aback as the ball goes between bat and pad, missing the top of the stumps by a whisker.

11.1 overs (0 Run) Back of a length over middle, tucked away straight to mid-wicket and Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the bowler's end looks for the single. Rahmat Shah sends him back early though.

10.6 overs (1 Run) Hard length outside off, eased away off the back foot in front of point for a single by Rahmat Shah.
