    1.6 Straight to backward point and the cut brings about Jaiswal's downfall once more. A bit of a juggle but Kharote hangs on at backward point. Was a hit-me ball really. Short and wide outside off stump, Jaiswal is up in the air as he looks to cut that up and away. Doesn't get it off the middle with the ball going to the right of backward point where Kharote parries the ball up and hangs on in the second attempt 9/1
    13.1 Cleans him up with a ripper! Not often you see Rohit get beaten like that but that's what Rashid does. Googly that is slightly short of a length at 92.3kph skidding back into Rohit on off. He stays on the backfoot inside the crease, and does not pick the googly. Only manages a thick inside-edge that clatters into the stumps. Rashid celebrates and Rohit falls two short of a fifty. That will also be drinks 96/2
    42.3 Reverse sweep skied to deep cover and Gill's brilliant 154 ends! He walks off to applause. Was an 88ks full ball down leg. He changed his stance, looked like Shivnarine Chanderpaul sweeping as he played the shot. Didn't lunge, upper-body bent forward and he scythed it. Only deep cover out, finds him. 360/4
    36.3 Straight up, straight up and gobbled up by Ikram Alikhil, the sub fielder in front of square on the leg side. Dragged down on middle stump, Kishan is way too early into his pull and tries to hit that too hard. Gets a big top-edge that balloons straight up with Ikram taking a good catch, reverse-cupped. 320/3
    44.3 Catch is the call, long-on takes it! Ibrahim ran right and took it on the run, around the bread-basket. Full stock ball on leg, angle in, Shreyas was beside the line and drove through with a slightly closed bat face. He holes out unable to make up for a slow start. Four-for for Kharote 371/6
    42.4 Rahul out for a golden duck, Kharote on a hat-trick. Looked to keep the big hits going. Made room to a full ball and slogged it with a straightish bat. Got it off the inside-half to long-on. That 450 might be a 400 now 360/5
    48.5 Washington's innings fizzles to an end as is India's. He didn't look to attack during his stay. Tried to flick this fine, off the pads. Tickled to the keeper 396/9
    46.6 Lobbed up and it pays off. 81ks googly floated on middle and leg, Gurnoor slides his back leg leg side and drives with a slightly open face. Finds Ibrahim at long-off 387/7
    47.6 Flicked to long-on and Ghazanfar takes his first wicket off his last ball. Half-volley with a front-of-hand release just down leg. Arshdeep gets beside the ball and looked to go over the boundary. Too wristy for a big launch 392/8

    49.5 Length on leg, swings across the line. Goes along the ground to deep midwicket. Prince runs three-fourth of the way, then hares back. Has no chance. Kuldeep stuck his hand out but Prince didn't see him, Kuldeep didn't hear him till he was close. Kuldeep is baffled and smiles at the end 402/10

    7.3 Gurbaz's luck runs out and Brar is on the wickets column. Sharp back of a length ball just outside off with plenty of lift at 147.7kph. Gurbaz looks to steer that fine, can only manage a thin outside edge which is collected comfortably by Rahul. Brar celebrates and the dangerman is gone. 52/1
    13.1 Out's the call from the entire room, and it is! Brilliant catch from Prince. Ran towards square leg from deep fine leg, dove low after taking it with stretched hands. Bouncer around chest-height, got big on Ibrahim as he went for the pull 71/2
    23.1 The umpire's finger was up even before the bowler had finished his appeal. But Atal has reviewed this lbw decision. Looks plumb if there's no bat involved. Let's see. Pushed quicker on off, going on with the arm. No bat and strikes Atal on the back leg, which makes it even closer. Pitching in, impact in line and the ball tracker brings up umpire's call on leg stump. Atal has to go and Afghanistan lose their third 128/3
    44.3 Short on leg, pulled to deep fine leg. No hundred for Rahmat. Game's done as Rasooli won't bat. That's the series win for India too 232/9
    24.3 Oh, dear Rasooli is lying flat on the ground clutching his right hamstring. He is groaning in pain, which brings up the question: why did Afghanistan send him to bat? Back of a length ball on off, he pulls to midwicket and immediately goes down, clutching his hamstring/calf. Will he retire hurt? The physio is out there, strapping his leg. Will he continue? No, head coach Richard Pybus has signalled for Rasooli to come off. He is walking off, very very gingerly. 136/3
    24.5 What a riposte and isn't Gurnoor pumped up! Banged in short outside off at 140.4kph, Shahidi pulls, gets a thick inside-edge which clatters into off stump. Shahidi's stay is a short one. 140/4
    30.1 Prince FINALLY has his first ODI wicket. And what a jaffa to get that. Prince looks back at the umpire. Oh, his foot is fine; he can finally celebrate. Length ball that lands on off and straightens after pitching. Kharote plays down the wrong line and sees his off pole flattened. 170/5
    32.6 Connects this time... finds Rohit at deep third! Short ball over off at 134ks, Rashid sways back and helps it along with the upper cut. He got beaten looking to carve it last ball, this time he just ramped it. Change of angle from Arshdeep too - around to over 188/6
    34.1 Forces a drive, finds mid-off. Ghazanfar stands in disbelief watching his bat. Length ball at 135ks from around the wicket. Finished around middle. He looked to go inside out and mistimed it 190/7
    39.6 Yorker goes under bat. Saleem got low and did his best to try and scrape a straight drive. But that kept coming in and beat him for line too. Beat the bottom-left edge, tickled the boot and hit middle. Gurnoor pumps his fist 220/8
