Mohammed Shami's yorker dislodges Mujeeb's stumps and he becomes the second Indian to complete a hat-trick in World Cup, after Chetan Sharma achieved the feat in 1987. That was the last wicket to fall and India win by 11 runs.
Mohammed Shami misses his yorker, Mohammad Nabi hits the low full-toss straight down the ground for a four. With this shot he completes his half-century.
Ball 1: Bumrah starts the over with a yorker, no run. Ball 2: Mohammad Nabi charges down and turns the yorker into a full-toss and comes back for two easy runs. Ball 3: Another perfect yorker by Bumrah and Nabi takes a single. Ball 4: Bumrah delivers another yorker, the ball goes straight to fielder, no run. Ball 5: Another yorker and just a single. Ball 6: Bumrah finishes the over with another yorker.
The umpire has adjudged Mohammad Nabi out who has quickly reviewed it. The replay shows the impact was outside off stump Afghanistan are still in it. He shuffled across off stump on that occasion and that is what saved him.
Rashid Khan uses him game awareness to gather a boundary. There was no one behind the wickets on the off-side and Rashid uses his reverse-sweep to perfection.
Mohammad Nabi shuffles across on the off-stump aiming to hit it over the short fine-leg fielder but misses the line completely, ball hist it high. LBW shout has been turned down by the umpire.
Hardik Pandya's slow off-cutter sends Najibullah Zadran packing. This ball was similar to the one which fell short of Chahal in the previous over but Zadran's luck evades him this time as the ball ends up straight into Chahal's lap.
Mohammed Shami goes full and marginally wide to Najibullah Zadran who lofts it over mid-off fielder towards vacant long-off boundary. Shami concedes eight in the over and Afghanistan get close to the target slowly and steadily.
India's chinaman finishes his full quota of overs with another tidy over as he concedes just three in his last over. His final figure is 0/39 in 10 overs. Though he didn't pick up any wickets, he bowled in tight areas from the other end which allowed others to reap the benefit.
Yuzvendra Chahal makes a wonderful comeback after conceding boundary on the first ball to get rid of Asghar Afghan. Asghar goes for a wild slog but misses the line completely which rattles his stump.
Welcome boundary for Afghanistan. Yuzvendra Chahal offers width outside off-stump to Mohammad Nabi who plays it delicately just wide of the diving point fielder and the ball sails away to the fence.
Hardik Pandya pitches the ball full, Nabi hoists it high in the air but luckily for him it falls in no man's land between two fielders. Pandya is not happy with fielders' efforts.
Jasprit Bumrah picks up the second wicket in one over to bring India back in the match. Hashmatullah Shahidi departs for 0. The ball was pitched short but there was not enough bounce, Shahidi wanted to play it on the on-side but pops it straight back to Bumrah. Good thing for India is two new Afghanistan batsmen are at the crease. Bumrah finishes the over without conceding a run.
Jasprit Bumrah conjured his magic to send back both set batsmen!
Jasprit Bumrah bangs in a well-directed short ball to Rahmat Shah who goes for a pull and gets the top-edge which goes to fine-leg where Chahal take a brilliant catch. It was much-needed breakthrough for India.
Jasprit Bumrah gets the ball to nip back in to Rahmat Shah and Indian players think it is out but the umpire Aleem Dar is unmoved. The replay shows it was umpire's call in wickets hitting column and it was a good decision.
