- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 Thakur takes a very good catch and that's the end of Gurbaz! It was a bouncer he pulled to deep fine leg, and a couple of metres extra would have seen him pick up six. Instead, Thakur had the opportunity to catch it, flick it into the air as he overbalanced before coming back in and catching it again with zero drama 63/26.4 What a beauty to take the outside edge! Bumrah points to his temple, showing off his brains - Rashford celebration notes Matt Roller, to nick off Zadran. Slightly back of a length, 135ks, landed around off and straightened subtly, Zadran was in the crease and tried to block it straight. Didn't try to do anything aggressive or loose, bat looked close to body. Maybe the lack of footwork and trying to defend it while standing beside the line didn't help. Nonetheless, Bumrah just too good. 32/113.1 rapped on the pads, and the umpire raises his finger! It looked fairly adjacent as he tried to drive back down the ground. He reviews. No bat on it, and ball-tracking shows it's just clipping the top of leg on umpire's call! 63/342.4 Hashmat goes across and tries the reverse, misses and is given out lbw. He has a a chat and reviews. Legbreak ona. length. Looked to have gone straight. Hashmat had crouched and had gotten beside the line of the ball. He couldn't sweep because of the length, so had to hover the bat further up. The ball went past the pad and hit the outer-half of the front thigh. Pitching around off, impact's middle and off, that's also where Hawk-Eye predicts it'd go on and hit. Skipper gone for a fine 80. 225/534.2 cleans him up with a slower ball that takes the top of off!. Gripped into the pitch and beat the outside edge. The crowd roars back into life after a spirited innings from Azmatullah comes to an end 184/444.6 Given lbw right away. Nabi reviews. Back of length ball coming in, 138ks, looked to have kept low. Nabi was beaten on the flick. Seam up, Nabi - who played it within the crease - played around it and was hit on the knee-roll. Hawk-Eye predicts it'd go on to clip leg stump. Umpire's call was out, so Nabi has to go. 235/744.2 Slower one is scooped up in the air to deep cover point, where Kohli runs in and takes a bread-basket catch. Offcutter on a three-quarter length outside off, turned in and Zadran tried to launch it against the turn. Spooned it and Najib coming over Rashid doesn't work 229/648.1 Sliced high, taken on the second attempt by Kuldeep! Gets a big hug from Jadeja, who was running towards him. Probably saw Jadeja in his eyeline, he tried to take it in front of him but the ball popped out in front. Luckily, it was in reach and he took it before falling belly first into the grass. Was a slower bouncer outside off that was cut. 261/8Extras15 (b 2, lb 3, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL272/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.44)Did not bat: Fazalhaq FarooqiFall of wickets: 1-32 (Ibrahim Zadran, 6.4 ov), 2-63 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 12.4 ov), 3-63 (Rahmat Shah, 13.1 ov), 4-184 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 34.2 ov), 5-225 (Hashmatullah Shahidi, 42.4 ov), 6-229 (Najibullah Zadran, 44.2 ov), 7-235 (Mohammad Nabi, 44.6 ov), 8-261 (Rashid Khan, 48.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.4 but anyway, he heaves at one and is cleaned up by Rashid!. Got down on one knee to sweep him, but Rashid had bowled something of a flipper, which skids along and sneaks under the bat to disturb the stumps. But not before an outstanding innings from Rohit Sharma, one that takes any jeopardy out of this contest altogether 205/218.4 googly gets his leading edge and Afghanistan finally have a wicket Rashid Khan strikes - should he have bowled earlier? Kishan turned the face of the blade a touch early and the ball scooped up to cover for the easiest catch 156/1Extras15 (b 1, lb 4, w 10)TOTAL273/2 (35 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-156 (Ishan Kishan, 18.4 ov), 2-205 (Rohit Sharma, 25.4 ov)
