India vs Afghanistan, Highlights: One-Off Test Day 2: India Crush Afghanistan By An Innings And 262 Runs

A disappointed outing for Afghanistan finally came to an end as India thumped the visitors by an innings and 262 runs. Afghanistan lost all of their 20 wickets in the final two sessions of Day 2. After a disastrous first inning (in which the visitors got bundled out for 109) Afghanistan were forced to follow-on. The second inning too started poorly for the visitors as Umesh Yadav tore up the top order. Exceptional pace-bowling display helped him bag three wickets at the top. Ishant too struck from the other end picking up Rahmat Shah (4). Post top order fall-out, Jadeja ripped apart Afghanistan's middle clinching 4 wickets. Ishant later came back and to claim his second wicket in form of Yamin Ahmadzai. Ashwin ended Afghanistan's second inning dismissing Wafadar for a duck.

For Afghanistan, everything went wrong on Day 2. After batting collapse in the first innings, batsmen repeated the same mistakes. Only Hashmatullah Shahidi’s unbeaten 36 was the bright side for the team as no one else looked in any sort of comfort against Indian attack. 24 wickets (including 4 Indian wickets in the morning session) tumbled on the second day which is now the most wickets in a single day in Indian subcontinent. The match was also the shortest Test Match for India against any team they have ever played. Shikhar Dhawan was adjourned player of the match for his century in the first innings. (SCORECARD)

09:20 IST: TEN MINUTES to go for the start of the first session on Day 2 of the historic Test between hosts India and Afghanistan. 

09:15 IST: Pitch on Day 2 looks quite similar to Day 1. Still a bit of grass cover on the surface along with a bit of moisture. Afghans were not able to take advantage of the new ball on Day 1. As the new ball due in two overs, Sunil Gavaskar in the pitch report has suggested that Afghans should take the new ball, exploit the surface and wrap-up the Indian inning with quality pace bowling.

09:05 IST: It's bright and sunny at the moment but forecast shows the weather as partly cloudy with 78 percent humidity. Both teams are on the ground warming up ahead of the big day.  

09:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of Day 2 of the one-off Test between India and Afghanistan straight from M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. 

Rahane survived a caught behind decision early in his innings before being saved by a review but failed to make the most of the opportunity as Rashid Khan caught him plumb in front after two frustrating sessions. Rashid could have immediately got his second Test wicket in the form of the dangerous Pujara, who on 30 was dropped at first slip by Mohammed Nabi. But Nabi soon rectified the mistake with a superb catch at leg slip to pack back the Saurashtra batsman off the 17-year-old spinner Mujeeb. India immediately lost another wicket when stumper Dinesh Karthik (4) departed off an unnecessary run-out with the scoreboard at 334/6. Thereafter, Ashwin and Pandya joined forces and the duo played out the rest of the day cautiously. Earlier, opting to bat after winning the toss, India got off to a breezy start with Dhawan smashing a quickfire century to pile up 158/0 at lunch in the lop-sided opening session. Dhawan looked in sublime touch right from the start, punishing the pace duo of Ahmadzai and Wafadar for glorious boundaries before taking his Sunrisers Hyderabad teammate Rashid to the cleaners. Dhawan looked unstoppable and got to his seventh Test ton in a mere 87 balls even as the Afghan spin trio of Nabi, Rashid and Mujeeb seemed all at sea with this format. For the Afghans, Ahmadzai was the pick of the bowlers with a couple of wickets while Wafadar, Rashid and Mujeeb contributed with one wicket apiece.
