R Khan to D Karthik, FOUR! Very well played. The quicker ball, outside off, Karthik waits till the last moment and then plays the flashy cut. The ball does take a bit of an outside edge but is very wide of the fielder at short third man. The stand is worth 23 from 26 balls.

DRINKS BREAK. So, for the first time in the tournament, India's middle order gets a good outing in the middle. The flashy batting of Rayudu and Rahul allowed that to happen, as both gifted their wickets away. In fact, apart from Dhoni, all dismissals have been thrown away. But the untested and unexposed middle order will not complain. Perfect opportunity to get some runs under your belt before the final. Just 73 more needed - India will look to Karthik taking them home with a nice unbeaten 70 and the team winning in the 45th over. Can Afghanistan pick up wickets? Here's Mujeeb Ur Rahman to try and say something on that. 5-1-20-0 so far.
