G Naib to A Rayudu, SIX! And the 50 is up for India. Brought up in some style too. Just ahead of a length on the stumps, Rayudu stays leg side of this and throws the kitchen sink at it. Connects well and clears long on without any trouble. 15 off the over, a big one for India.
G Naib to L Rahul, Tap and run stuff. This is good stuff from this pair. Rahul plays this down in front of point and the two batsmen are off in a flash. Complete the run quickly so the direct hit at the keeper's end doesn't matter.
A cute moment after the completion of the last over. Shikhar Dhawan was out on the field with the drinks and also wiped off Rayudu's face under the helmet.
G Naib to L Rahul, Quite full, shaping in on the pads, flicked in front of square leg.
G Naib to L Rahul, FOUR! Missed out on the previous freebie he got, doesn't do so this time. Full toss outside off, Rahul drives it neatly through the gap in the covers. A boundary results.
G Naib to L Rahul, Length ball in the off stump channel, blocked out from the back foot.
G Naib to L Rahul, FOUR! Shot. Timing from KL Rahul. That'll make him feel a lot better. Angling in on middle and leg, full length ball, Rahul flicks it well through the right of the mid on fielder. The man there doesn't even bother trying to chase it down. Super shot.
Gulbadin Naib to bowl. First change for Afghanistan.
Ur Rahman to L Rahul, Driven towards the mid on region. They pick up a single.
Ur Rahman to L Rahul, Stays deep inside the crease and tamely pushes it to point.
Ur Rahman to A Rayudu, Run out chance goes abegging! Rayudu works this to short fine leg and both batsmen are off for the run. The fielder gets to the ball and throws it at the bowler's end. Wrong choice, should have fired it to Shahzad as Rahul would have been in some serious danger.
Ur Rahman to L Rahul, A loopy full toss, Rahul hits it to mid off and takes a quick single. Missed out there, he knows it. Should have sent it to the boundary line.
Ur Rahman to L Rahul, The batsman dances down the track and does well to block the ball back to the bowler.
Ur Rahman to L Rahul, Skidding off the surface as it goes on straight, driven to mid on.
Rashid Khan is finally on the field. He cannot bowl for another 7 overs or the next 30 minutes, whichever comes first.
A Alam to A Rayudu, Attacks the top of off stump, it's a length delivery, tapped down in front of point.
A Alam to A Rayudu, FOUR! Room on offer and Rayudu makes Alam pay. Length ball wide outside off, he flays it through point. In the gap and that's another one which has gone to the fence like a rocket.
A Alam to A Rayudu, Back of a length rising off the surface, the batsman can't connect.
A Alam to A Rayudu, FOUR! On the leg side this time but the result is the same. Full ball attacking the stumps, angling in, Rayudu slogs it between mid-wicket and mid on and finds the gap well. It's hit well and goes to the boundary in a jiffy.
A Alam to L Rahul, Room offered outside off, run down to third man for a run.
