Prasidh Krishna to Hashmatullah Shahidi, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Shahidi looks to the skies and lets out a few words in frustration after finding the fielder. Slower short ball angled in from round the wicket, he pulls hard and flat, and it goes straight to Iyer at deep midwicket. Maiden ODI five-wicket haul forPrasidh Krishna. Was a spell to remember from him with the new ball, wiping out Afghanistan's top-order on a pitch which offered pace, bounce and movement. Hashmatullah Shahidi c Shreyas Iyer b Prasidh Krishna 102(131) [4s-13 6s-1]

Washington Sundar to Hashmatullah Shahidi, FOUR, first ODI hundred for Hashmatullah Shahidi! Has had to battle so hard, against the bowling, the conditions and some cramp. But it's all been worth it for this moment. Takes off the helmet, raises both arms and then goes on to do the sajda. His teammates are up in applause on the balcony. It's a lovely late-cut to bring up the milestone. Good length ball that's drifting in close to off, Shahidi waits on it and cuts in the gap between backward point and short third

Washington Sundar to Hashmatullah Shahidi, out Fareed Ahmad Run Out!! Another run out! What's going on, Afghanistan? Hashmatullah can't run properly due to cramp but they're still going for quick singles. Tossed up, knocked in front of cover and they take off for the single. Fareed is comfortably short with Gill firing it in at the stumps. Fareed Ahmad run out (Shubman Gill/Ishan Kishan) 0(0)

Harsh Dubey to Hashmatullah Shahidi, out AM Ghazanfar Run Out!! Ghazanfar is in trouble. He's gone. Gently tucked to square leg, they go for a tight single but Ghazanfar is well short despite a dive. Not a great call to go for it with Gill swooping in on the ball. He under-arms it back to the keeper and despire the throw being a little high, Kishan is able to whip off the bails in time. AM Ghazanfar run out (Shubman Gill/Ishan Kishan) 1(1)

Gurnoor Brar to Mohammad Nabi, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Gurnoor has his first wicket of the game. 138.6ks back of a length delivery and Nabi was rooted to the crease, expecting the ball to bounce more but it keeps a tad low and hits the top of off-stump. With the kind of bounce the pacers are getting today, it was surprising to see one stay low. Nabi was also late on the shot as the bat came down after the ball had passed. Mohammad Nabi b Gurnoor Brar 21(23) [4s-1 6s-1]

Nitish Reddy to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR, shot! Too straight - on off and middle, Nabi stays inside the line and goes on one leg to help it backward of square. Used the pace and directed the pull to the fence

Prasidh Krishna to Hashmatullah Shahidi, FOUR, nicely played! Not the first time he's played this shot. Short ball angling in, Shahidi arches back and opens his bat face to ramp it fine. No chance for the third man to stop that

Nitish Reddy to Mohammad Nabi, SIX, that's unlucky. Nitish is left with his hands on his hips. Short ball and Nabi takes it on, the top-edge goes straight up but he's got enough bat for the ball to sail over the fine leg fielder

Prince Yadav to Azmatullah Omarzai, out Caught by Prasidh Krishna!! Slight misjudgement from Prasidh in the deep, turning it into a very low catch. But he has held on with his fingers under the ball. So the short ball pays off for Prince. He nearly had Shahidi in the previous over with a sharp bouncer, wasn't to be, but this time he's not to be denied. This one is over Omarzai's left shoulder, he's not in control of the pull and hits it down to fine leg. Prasidh could've ran in and taken it at a comfortable height. But he hung back and took it low to the turf. Third umpire confirms that it's a clean catch. Azmatullah Omarzai c Prasidh Krishna b Prince Yadav 50(56) [4s-5 6s-2]

Harsh Dubey to Hashmatullah Shahidi, SIX, Shahidi's turn to take the aerial route! Have seen Omarzai strike a couple of sixes down the ground, and now the Afghanistan captain joins the party.

Prasidh Krishna to Darwish Rasooli, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Fourth wicket for Prasidh. He's on fire today. Rasooli tries to counterattack and pays the price. Once again it is the extra bounce on this surface that brings about a batter's downfall. This was full alright and Rasooli wanted to loft through the line, but the extra bounce hits the upper part of the bat and flies over extra cover. Iyer runs back from mid-off, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a super catch. That was not an easy catch but Iyer was always in control. Darwish Rasooli c Shreyas Iyer b Prasidh Krishna 1(5)

Prasidh Krishna to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Rohit Sharma!! It is that combination again - c Rohit b Prasidh. All three wickets have been very identical. This was very similar to Gurbaz's dismissal. But the line is closer to off-stump, but Ibrahim does try to push it on the up and plays away from the body, the outside-edge flies to Rohit at first slip and that is the most controlled of the three catches he's taken today. Ibrahim Zadran c Rohit Sharma b Prasidh Krishna 11(18) [4s-2]

Prasidh Krishna to Rahmat Shah, out Caught by Rohit Sharma!! Second wicket for Prasidh. He has been brilliant today. Struck with his first ball, tested the batters right through and now has the big wicket of Rahmat. This is his natural length - back of a length delivery on off, Rahmat stays back in the crease and closes the bat face for some reason, the leading-edge flies to Rhot and he laps it up. Rahmat thought it was coming in with the angle and hence tried to play it into the leg-side, but the ball held its line and the edge was found. Rahmat Shah c Rohit Sharma b Prasidh Krishna 5(15) [4s-1]

Gurnoor Brar to Ibrahim Zadran, no ball, FOUR, poor delivery and Ibrahim helps himself to a boundary. Strays down leg, Ibrahim stays inside the line and glances it to fine leg. The pace of Gurnoor does the rest. The siren goes off. Gurnoor has overstepped. Free-hit coming up..

Prasidh Krishna to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, out Caught by Rohit Sharma!! Prasidh strikes first ball! This is a big wicket as Gurbaz has been the in-form batter for Afghanistan. The length is the key here - it is in that in between length - not full nor too short, Gurbaz does not commit fully to the forward block, goes feeling for the ball and gets a healthy outside-edge, goes at a nice height to Rohit at first slip and he makes no mistake. Rahmanullah Gurbaz c Rohit Sharma b Prasidh Krishna 5(7) [4s-1]

Gurnoor Brar to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, Gurbaz and Afghanistan are off the mark. 142.4ks short of length angling in, Gurbaz gets inside the line and is cramped a little as he tries to pull, gloves it down leg and manages to beat Ishan to his left
