AFG vs IND Live Cricket Score

8.1 OUT! TAKEN! Nitish strikes first ball. Didn't have the best of evenings in the first game, but he breaks the 51-run stand. On a good length and around the middle stump. Zadran goes for the flick on the leg side, but doesn't get enough timing behind it. Bishnoi, camped at deep mid-wicket, holds on to the catch. He's not one to spill those. It looked for a moment like he had taken a wrong first step and overran the ball, but he adjusted well enough to settle under it and complete the catch above his right shoulder. Ibrahim cannot convert his start, and Afghanistan are 51/2. 51/2

1.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rahmanullah Gurbaz tries to break free but perishes. A second successive duck in the series for Gurbaz. Arshdeep takes pace off and goes into the wicket, outside off. Rahmanullah backs away and has an ungainly swipe across the line. He does not pick the change of pace and ends up spooning it tamely to mid on with him also losing hold of his bat. Ravi Bishnoi takes a sitter at mid on. 0/1

9.2 OUT! STRAIGHT TO TILAK! Bishnoi has his arms aloft as he gets his first wicket. A googly now, and it is a length ball around the middle stump line. Atal goes back and tries to power it over the long off boundary, but gets it off the splice and doesn't time it well. Tilak, stationed at long off, settles underneath it and pouches the catch comfortably. A very scratchy knock from Atal, and Afghanistan have been reduced from 51/1 to 59/3. 59/3

10.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A well-judged catch by Sanju Samson. Nitish Kumar Reddy strikes with the first ball of the over for the second time in the game. Seam-up ball, skidding through, on a back of a length, on middle. Naib takes the risk of going across the line and pays the price. He clears the front leg and has a swipe at the ball. It is skied a long way up off a top edge. Sanju Samson calls for it and moves forward to settle under the swirling ball. He puts in a dive at the last moment to take the catch safely. 67/4

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Arshdeep Singh strikes on his return to the attack. Darwish Rasooli's promising stay has been cut short. Angled in at the off stump from around the wicket, on a length. Rasooli tries to get under the ball to go back over the bowler's head. He gets it right off the toe end of the blade. Tilak Varma runs to his right from long off, and Axar Patel also converges from long on. Varma gets to the ball and takes the catch to his right by stretching his hands out. 100/6

13.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Tilak Varma makes no mistake. Axar Patel finally gets his man. This is slowed down, a bit of air given, fuller and on middle and leg. Omarzai clears the front leg and has a swing at it but he does so early. There is a bit of grip and turn and the ball catches the toe end of the blade. As a result, Azmat only gets the height and not the distance. It is skied a long way up towards long on, where Tilak Varma settles under the skier and takes the catch close to his chest. 96/5

18.5 OUT! CAUGHT BY THE CAPTAIN! Bumrah has the last laugh. He spears in a full-length delivery, around the off stump. Nabi stays leg side of the ball and tries to clear extra cover, but fails to get underneath the ball properly and ends up slicing it towards Shreyas Iyer. The captain at cover takes a straightforward catch to end Nabi's knock. Afghanistan are 148/7, with 7 legal balls left in the first innings. 148/7

19.1 OUT! SPECTACULAR CATCH! Axar with a stunner and that's number three for Nitish. A slower delivery, full and outside off, and Rashid looks to hoick it away over the leg side. He can't middle it, and Axar, sprinting to his left from deep square leg, dives full-length to complete a smart catch. Good deception from Reddy, and remarkably, he has now struck with the first ball of each of his three overs today. India have been tidy in the field tonight. Afghanistan are 148/8, five balls left. 148/8

7 OUT! CAUGHT! End of the entertainment from Sanju Samson. Floated up by Rashid, on off. Samson presses forward and puts his head down. He swings through the line but the bat turns in his hand and he slices it towards long off, where Mohammad Nabi moves to his left and gets his body behind the ball. Nabi gets his hands high over his head and stays balanced on the fence to take the catch. Khan checks with Nabi, and the 'President' raises his finger to signal that his effort was clean. The umpires are happy with the effort and do not feel the need to send it upstairs. Samson trudges off to a standing ovation. 99/2

6.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan answers right back. Sediqullah Atal slams the ball into the turf in anger. The length is pulled back and it is quicker through the air, on middle and leg. Sharma goes on the back foot to unleash the pull but the ball spins back to cramp the left-hander for room and he is hurried as well. Gets it high on the bat and it goes straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket, where Atal makes no mistake. 88/1

10.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Fantastic reflexes from the Afghan skipper and Rashid has three wickets to his name. He dishes out a full ball, on the off stump line and gets a good bit of purchase off the track. The ball also shoots low off the surface as Shreyas shapes up to play the late cut, but only manages a thick outside edge. The ball goes low to the right of Ibrahim Zadran at first slip. Ibrahim is a bit late to react to take the catch around his right shin, and almost shells the catch, with the ball threatening to bobble out of his hands, but dives to his left and takes it on the second attempt. India are 123/3, needing 37 runs from 56 balls. 123/3
