    2.5 dolly of a catch for Rashid at mid-on! Pulls his speed back from 134kph to 119kph. Bowls full and on the stumps, I suspect it was a back-of-the-hand delivery a cutter, Rohit toe-ends a heave and Rashid takes the skier quite comfortable. India have been rocked early. 11/1
    8.3 looks to go inside-out, hit it wonderfully well but picks out long-off. Rashid has his second and Afghanistan are jubilant. Kohli saw this tossed up and hit it cleanly with the spin. He's distraught. Felt as if Kohli wanted to go deep extra cover, perhaps the lack of turn on that made him hit it a lot straighter. 62/3
    6.6 attempts a reverse-sweep but appears to be stone dead. Given out on field but Pant goes for a review. I suspect he's going to find out that wasn't a very good decision. This is a legbreak, almost full enough to hit his boot straight up. Pant got himself into a tangle attempting the shot, was in no position to play the shot in the end. Ball tracking confirms this would've smashed into the off stump. 54/2
    16.6 This shows why the six two balls ago was so good. SKY tried to launch it from a back of length again but toes it right up. The cutter was going away from his body, the line - that was the difference, and he couldn't whack it across the line. Nabi runs in from long-off and takes the skier. Excellent innings though 150/5
    10.5 Is that pad first? LBW not given, Rashid reviews almost immediately. I thought out, Shashank says bat first, let's see. Legbreak lands on a length around off, 94ks, a bit of drift in and spin too. Looks like pad first - back leg, top of the flap of the pad - as Dube tried to jam it down. Yeah, he's a goner. Three reds - hitting top of middle and off. Dube looked unsure whether to play off the front or back foot and in front of the body or under his eyes. In the end, it was an indecisive jab close to the body that was just over the pad, not close enough to ball to make contact. 90/4
    17.6 Pandya misses out, falls to the wide ball that sat up. He tried to carve it on the up, got it off the bottom of the bat and found the sweeper. Gets a warm reception from his team-mates 159/6
    18.4 Death-overs dismissal. Very whacky. Was a slower one that was as short as it could get, gripped and popped up like a tennis ball. Seemed to be going above head but the room had Jadeja try to upper cut it over short third. But there was no pace to work with and it ends up like a forehand gone wrong 165/7
    19.6 Slower one into the pitch. Very short, wide-ish line, beats the pull. Keeper lobs it really high but Naveen is able to collect it run back and beat Axar on the race to run him out 181/8

    1.2 who else but that man, Jasprit, with the breakthrough. And it's the dangerous Gurbaz. Incredible change of pace, rolls his fingers over the ball, the cutter lands outside Gurbaz's hitting arc as he tries to go leg side of the ball to belt it over cover, can only get a thin edge through to Pant who takes a regulation catch. Gurbaz was in no position to play the shot, got into an awkward position where he was reaching out to waft at the ball. 13/1
    4.1 looks like Zazai is foxed by Bumrah's cutter! This one grips the deck and takes off, Zazai is looking to work it to the leg side but ends up getting a leading edge to point. Dolly of a catch that. 23/3
    3.4 picks out extra cover! The dots just got to Ibrahim. Moves leg side of the ball to go over the infield, but because Axar follows him, he doesn't quite have the room and he ends up hitting it straight to Rohit. Afghanistan in early trouble. 23/2
    10.2 Kuldeep gives the googly air and Naib skies it to the keeper. Pant went to the right and called to ensure he and Rohit didn't collide. Big smile follows from Pant as Rohit seems to say 'it is yours'. Was a full, wide ball that Naib tried to hack across the line. Might've expected it to be a stock ball but the turn away meant he hit it off the bottom of the bat 67/4
    11.1 dolly at long-on, Afghanistan are unravelling very quickly. Jadeja gets this to turn off a length, it's an ugly hack against the turn from Omarzai but only managed to toe-end it. 71/5
    15.2 Excellent catch from Arshdeep, Bumrah - as often - can do no wrong. He saw Zadran back away, was almost at the return crease as he reached out to the 141ks full ball zooming in towards middle, whisked it away but found short third to perfection. Ball hit Arshdeep's hands hard but he clung on before he wrung his palms right after 102/6
    16.3 Nabi goes high again but can't clear the long boundary. Hit against the wind too and it means a shot that looked to be sailing into the stands ends up in Jadeja's hands at deep midwicket. Despite the last ball going for six, Kuldeep went full and slow. Knew the equation was in his favour. Line was a bit too straight and Nabi seemed to have gotten a good chunk on it. But the air wasn't in his favour. 114/7
    17.4 Skied, taken at deep third. Full and close to the tramline, Rashid tries to reach it to whip it but can only get it off the bottom of the bat 121/8
    19.6 Sliced, Rohit takes it. Arshdeep lunges with a big smile as India complete a 47-run win. Full at the stumps, Noor tried to pump it through the line and got a thick outside edge. Found cover. 134/10
    17.5 Naveen comes in, and goes right away. Tried to pull a shortish ball from Arshdeep across the line. The seam-up ball came around rib-height and took the top edge as Naveen tried to muscle it into the neighbouring town. Easy catch for Pant, Arshdeep on a hat-trick 121/9
