Cross-seam, just short of a length, and he gets a top edge to long-on 119/112.6 and now his wicket is broken. Love when a plan comes together. Short of a length, angling in, takes the bottom edge on the late-cut and bowls him 125/2Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL212/2 (20 Overs, RR: 10.6)Fall of wickets: 1-119 (KL Rahul, 12.4 ov), 2-125 (Suryakumar Yadav, 12.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 This time he's on the money! Full and shaping in, raps him on the back pad having pitched on middle and leg, and straightened. Zazai reviews after a brief consultation with Gurbaz, but this looked pretty plumb. And yes, it's three reds. Afghanistan lose a review. 0/10.6 That's a corker! Bowls him through the gate! This is on a good length, draws the batter forward on a tentative front foot push, and then it seams through the gap inbetween bat and pad to knock back off stump. 1/22.4 Outswinger induces the edge and Kohli gobbles it up at first slip! Janat guilty of following the ball there a bit as he hangs a lazy bat out. Bhuvi though is on fire! 9/32.6 Another in swinger and another lbw! This is given but Zadran reviews. It looked dead though and the replays prove it. This was full on the stumps, and swinging in towards middle and leg. Afghanistan are folding fast here. 9/45.5 Another lbw shout and this time it's given! But Afghanistan don't have a review. So the batter has to go, this looked like it might have been on the edge in terms of pitching in line with leg, but no matter now. 20/56.5 Chipped to cover! And that's a five-for for Bhuvneshwar. This was a slower knuckle ball, that catches the batter early on the drive. It's one of the easiest catches Dinesh Karthik will ever take. 21/613.1 And he strikes straight away! Sees Rashid coming down the track and drags this shorter, Rashid adjusts and looks to whip this to the square leg fence, but he can only manage to find the man at deep midwicket, who comes in to take an easy catch 54/717.4 Carrom ball castles him! Comes down the track and yorks himself, ends up missing the on drive and gets his middle peg disturbed 87/8Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL111/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.55)Did not bat: Fazalhaq FarooqiFall of wickets: 1-0 (Hazratullah Zazai, 0.4 ov), 2-1 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 0.6 ov), 3-9 (Karim Janat, 2.4 ov), 4-9 (Najibullah Zadran, 2.6 ov), 5-20 (Mohammad Nabi, 5.5 ov), 6-21 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 6.5 ov), 7-54 (Rashid Khan, 13.1 ov), 8-87 (Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 17.4 ov)
