Manav Suthar to Ziaur Rahman Sharifi, SIX, Ziaur has decided he's gone to throw his bat around. This is dragged short, he hangs back and mows it across the line, struck it flat and all the way over long-on

Manav Suthar to Saleem Safi, out Lbw!! Manav has his sixth. But he's a tad lucky here. Ball-tracking shows that the ball pitched outside leg-stump. Richard Illingworth got it wrong. Safi did not review and started walking. This is tossed up, drifts in and lands outside leg, spins across to beat Safi's outside-edge, struck on the back pad and the impact was right in front of the stumps, which was what made Illingworth raise his finger.

Manav Suthar to Rahmat Shah, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! What a way to get a 5-fer on debut. He's knocked over Afghanistan's best batter behind his legs. Even Rahmat Shah nods in approval as he sits on his knee. This is flighted, drifts in and lands around leg-stump, Shah thinks it is there for the sweep and kneels down to play the shot, but the ball dips on him and brushes the pad before smashing into middle and leg-stump. A fine knock ended with a peach. Rahmat Shah b Manav Suthar 60(135) [4s-9 6s-1]

This is flighted above the eyeline, Ashraf thought it is there for the big mow and slogs across the line after clearing his front leg, the ball spins away and takes a thin outside-edge. Pant takes a sharp catch behind the stumps, and knew immediately there was an edge. Sharafuddin Ashraf c Rishabh Pant b Manav Suthar 11(32) [4s-2]

Needed more evidence but the fielder came in the way. The deflection was so thin that any other angle except the side-on angle couldn't have given a proper picture.

Manav Suthar to Abdul Malik, out Caught by Mohammed Siraj!! Manav strikes in his first over. Maiden Test wicket and he's delighted. Malik felt he had to do something with the ball spinning square. He shuffles across, sits down and decides to play the sweep, gets a top-edge and the ball lobs behind the wicket. Rahul runs to his left from slip and Siraj comes in from backward square. Almost a miscommunication between the duo but Siraj manages to hang on low. Siraj has a word with Rahul after completing the catch.
