India vs Afghanistan, Asia Cup 2018: Match ends in a tie

Dhoni's trusted lieutenant Ravindra Jadeja shepherded the lower-order with his 25 off 34 only to be holed out at deep mid-wicket off Rashid Khan, with a single needed off two balls, chasing 253. India were bowled out with one ball to spare.

A Alam to R Jadeja, TOP EDGE, SAFE! Should Rashid have dived and gone for the catch? A short ball, outside off, climbing up, Jadeja looks to pull but gets a top edge. Rashid Khan comes charging in from mid-wicket but does not dive! The ball lands in front of him. Meanwhile, Kaul is near Jadeja, wanting the single. Rashid has a throw at the bowler's end but misses! All happening!

Score242 - 8

A Alam to K Yadav, OUT! Kuldeep is gone. What a brilliant piece of fielding. India are 8 down now but Jadeja is on strike. Full and around off, Kuldeep backs away and drives it through the covers. Gulbadin Naib covers good ground to his left and dives to stop the boundary. Jadeja calls for the third but Kuldeep is a bit slow in taking off. Naib returns a wayward throw to the bowler, way away from the stumps. But he takes the throw, turns back and then fires his own throw at the stumps. Bull's eye! Kuldeep's bat gets stuck outside the crease and that does not help matters. It is referred upstairs and replays confirm that Yadav is short. 11 more needed from 11 balls.

00:54 (IST) Sep 26

Direct hit! Is Kuldeep run out? Referred upstairs...

00:53 (IST) Sep 26

Crucial over for both sides. India will not want too much to get from the final Rashid over. Can they finish it off in this over itself?

Score233 - 7

A Alam to R Jadeja, On middle and leg, flicked towards short mid-wicket. There is a yes-yes and a no-no and eventually, both batsmen stay where they are. The fielder has a needless shy at the striker's end and nearly concedes an overthrow off the deflection. Luckily for him, the ball stays over there after hitting the stumps and the batsmen do not run.
