DRINKS! The Indian pace duet, Shami and Bumrah sent Afghanistan openers packing early on but Naib and Gurbaz did fight back for a bit. After Gurbaz fell, the sting was taken off the run chase and now after Naib also going back to the pavilion, Afghanistan will need a miracle to pull off this run chase. 152 runs are still required off 63 balls. The skipper, Mohammad Nabi walks in with his team in all sorts of trouble.
9.3 overs (0 Run) OUT! LBW! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes and Gulbadin Naib has been sent packing. Naib has a chat with his partner but they decide that this one was plumb and hence, do not go for the review. The fourth one falls and Afghanistan are not able to stitch meaningful stands. Ravichandran Ashwin floats this one up, lands it fuller around off, angling down, Gulbadin Naib gets low and looks to sweep but misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal and the finger goes up in no time. 152 needed in 63 balls!

8.4 overs (0 Run) Short this time, on off, pushed back to Jadeja.
8.3 overs (1 Run) Quicker delivery, on the pads, worked through square leg for one.
8.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Powerful shot by Zadran! In the arc this time, around off, Najibullah Zadran stands tall, swings his arms at this and tonks this one over deep mid-wicket.
8.1 overs (0 Run) Flatter, around off, Najibullah Zadran looks to reverse-hit this but mistimes it to the fielder at covers.

6.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! That is a sensational catch by Pandya! Wow! It had gone so high and he also had to keep an eye on the ropes but has made it look so easy! On middle, Gurbaz looks to drag it over the leg side, gets a top edge. It goes between deep mid-wicket and long on. Hardik Pandya in the latter position, runs to his right and takes a superb catch. Gurbaz was looking good till the time he was out there but fails to get most of the start he got.
Out walks Najibullah Zadran.
