FOUR! Hammered! Welcome back into the attack, Naib. A hit-me ball to begin with. Short and it is the slower one outside off, Dhoni waits for it and then clobbers it through covers for one.
Gulbadin Naib comes on now. His figures read 5-0-23-0 so far.
36.6 overs (0 Run) A dot to end! So just the boundary from the over. The googly and it is on the pads, Jadhav looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. The bowler is appealing but he is the only one doing so.
36.5 overs (4 Runs)
FOUR! India will hope that breaks the shackles! A welcome boundary for India. Jadhav premeditated this stroke. He goes down on one knee early, hits the slog sweep against the turn and bags a boundary at mid-wicket. One after 64 balls.

36.1 overs (0 Run) Flatter and on off, Jadhav goes back and keeps it out.
Drinks break. This is exceptional bowling by the Afghan spinners. They have not let the famed Indian batting off the hook and going has been extremely slow for the Men in Blue, especially after the fall of Virat Kohli. This doesn't look like a 300 pitch and the Asian giants would have gauged it by now. 14 overs left. Can they add another 100 runs or so to make it difficult for Afghanistan? Rashid Khan to bowl after the mini-break. He has five overs up his sleeves and won't be easy to target on this sluggish surface.
35.6 overs (0 Run) An appeal but not given! Afghanistan wanted to review it but they have exhausted their only review long back. Mujeeb bowls this down the leg side, Dhoni looks to flick. It goes off something to the keeper. Both, the bowler and the keeper appeal but nothing from the umpire. He has not given it as a wide though so there might be something, the umpire feels pad. Replays have not been shown yet. They now have been shown and it shows there was nothing and the sound was of the bat hitting the ground.
35.5 overs (0 Run) On the pads again, this is worked towards short fine leg. No runs again.
35.4 overs (1 Run) Very full on middle, this is jammed down to long on for one.
35.3 overs (0 Run) On the stumps again, Jadhav lunges and defends it onto the ground.
35.2 overs (0 Run) On the stumps again, Jadhav works it beside the pitch.
35.1 overs (0 Run) On the pads, this is worked towards short fine leg.
