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.

D Chahar to M Shahzad, SIX! Right in the slot and he puts it away too. What a hit. Full ball on middle and leg, Shahzad walks a step across and whips it over mid-wicket. Gets right under the ball and deposits it over the cow corner for half a dozen.

D Chahar to M Nabi, Slower bouncer, Nabi doesn't pick it up at all. Ducks too early as the ball goes above his head. Has a laugh afterwards.

Score132 - 5

D Chahar to G Naib, OUT! He's gone! A budding partnership for Afghanistan comes to an end. Chahar gets his first wicket in ODI cricket. Full and coming in on the pads, Naib flicks it over mid-wicket. No elevation on it and the placement is so good that Gulbadin finds Jadhav out in the deep. He moves a couple of steps to his right and takes it safely. The growing stand is broken and India continue to be on top.

D Chahar to M Shahzad, Sprays it on leg stump, raps Shahzad on the pads as he tries to flick it away. It rolls away on the leg side and a leg bye is taken. The 50-run stand comes up with this.

Score131 - 4

D Chahar to M Shahzad, FOUR! 5th ODI ton for Mohammad Shahzad! Well-deserved for the big man. Thoroughly deserves it. And you can see just how much it means to him too, he's really pumped. He's excelled when all the other batsmen have failed. Superb batting. It's a freebie really. He gets it on the pads and tickles it fine down the leg side for a boundary.

18:58 (IST) Sep 25

Deepak Chahar returns to the attack. He was expensive as he went for 24 runs in his first two overs. Probably nerves getting to him. Let's see if he can put in a better show in this second spell.
