K Jadhav to M Shahzad, OUT! Shahzad holes out! The fun is over. But what a great knock by the wicketkeeper batsman. He walks back to a standing ovation from his teammates. Coming to the delivery, Jadhav probably senses the charge from the batsman. Hence, he serves it full and wide outside off. MS is down the track looking for a big shot but it's too wide of him and he has to reach out for it. As a result, it flies off the bottom half of the bat and Karthik moves across to his right from long off to catch the skier safely. The 48-run stand is over as well and the timing of this wicket will hurt Afghanistan.

S Kaul to M Nabi, SIX! High and handsome! This one is served right in the slot for the batsman. Full and around off, Nabi attacks it with all his might and sends it packing over the bowler's head for a maximum.

S Kaul to M Shahzad, Direct hit would have been curtains for Shahzad! Shortish delivery outside off, MS goes hard at it as he tries to slap it square of the wicket on the off side. But it catches the bottom edge of the bat and rolls to short third man. His partner is interested in a run, Shahzad also is outside the crease but is ball-watching. Meanwhile, Jadhav has a shy at the striker's end but misses. The ball now travels to long on and an overthrow results.
