Washington Sundar to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Prasidh Krishna!! Oh dear! Sediqullah Atal's head went down immediately after playing the shot. After the 4th ball, India brought the field in and that probably tempted Atal into a lofted drive. Last ball before tea? Was it even needed? Lovely delivery from Sundar, tossed one invitingly outside off and lured the left-hander into the big shot - Sediqullah couldn't back down, was looking to go over cover, but the ball dropped and then turned past him - he ended up slicing a thick outside edge and Prasidh did the rest at backward point.

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, Sediq lunges forward to defend, misses and wears on the pad. Too much turn

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, the reverse sweep to negate the spinner! Full and outside off stump, ball turned, but Sediq controlled the shot so well and middled it through short third man

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, oh inside edge onto pad but it didn't stay in the air long enough for Sai to dive and catch this. Flatter from over the wicket but turned big, got the edge, ball hit the pad and landed in front of the diving Sai. Had Sediq played that off the front foot would have been interesting

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, 2 runs, confidence-boosting front foot push-drive from Sediq. Siraj wasn't giving him width so he couldn't do anything. The moment he saw some width on this ball he nicely came forward to try the drive to the right cover

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, that's an outside edge that escapes to third man. Soft hands on the defence so the edge rolls all along the ground but easily cleared gully as it was well wide of him

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, oh how did that miss the bat! This is seriously good stuff from Mo Siraj. The wobble seam length delivery that had some extra bounce with away seam movement. Once again Sediq has no clue how to put bat on ball properly to Siraj

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, now the edge drops in front of gully. Good length delivery just outside off stump, Sediq looks to defend, soft hands on the handle meant the edge didn't carry

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, peach! He's troubling Sediq almost every ball. Again angling in on good length and nipping away late to trouble Sediq on the back foot defence. Hands on head for Siraj as that was very close to the edge

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, fullish and angling in, Sediq defends off the front foot

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, the classic case of the bowler getting greedy and wanting to move it away towards the off stump from a very straight line. It's amazing how every time a bowler tries that the ball doesn't move and ends up finishing leg-side. Siraj lucky that the flick found mid-wicket

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, edged but doesn't carry to Gill at first slip! He's been penetrative, Mo Siraj. Length again, scrambled seam away-moving ball, Sediq tried to defend. Probably held the bat handle soft, which is why the edge didn't carry

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, this time it's an easy leave as Siraj bowls outside off stump

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, no run, squared up! Cunning ball from Mohammed Siraj. Back of a length angling in and nipping away sharply, Sediqullah had to play because it was threatening the off stump and the batter could have done nothing about the away seam movement

Mohammed Siraj to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, outside edge but it escapes past gully and wide of backward point. Full and moving away slightly, Sediqullah wanted a drive through the off-side and got away with the edge

Prasidh Krishna to Sediqullah Atal, no run, testing him outside off stump with a length delivery. Deliberately bowling slightly wide to play him play away from the body, but the batter offers no shot for the moment

Prasidh Krishna to Sediqullah Atal, 2 runs, driven and he finds the gap to the right of the man at cover! Full and outside off stump, Sediq didn't get the power behind the shot so he gets only two

Prasidh Krishna to Sediqullah Atal, no run, this time the foot is more towards mid-off as he defends this good length delivery off the front foot

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, slower and holds the length back, Atal prods forward and inside-edges the block onto the pad

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, this is good batting. Atal shimmies down, gets too close to the pitch but this time he goes over mid-off. Right off the middle and clears the fielder comfortably

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, 88.3ks too full and outside off, Atal presses across and defends to cover

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, 2 runs, shortens the length immediately, Atal stays back and works it through mid-wicket, easy couple

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, fabulous shot! This is going to be a different challenge for Manav. Afghanistan's batters will come after him this innings. Atal comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it handsomely over long-on

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, tossed up around off, Atal inside halves the forward block to mid-wicket

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, that's better. They can't allow Manav to just keep bowling in one spot. Atal sees a flighted delivery and decides to play the big shot, ends up dragging it off the inner half and the ball races to deep square leg. Not convincing but the intent is right

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, again fraction short and that allows Atal to camp back, turns it gently to the leg-side

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, short and spinning in, Atal tucks it towards backward square leg

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, tough chance and Sai does not hang on. Spins in sharply this time, Atal is pressing forward and pushes his hands in front of the pad, the inside-edge goes low and to short leg's right. Sai gets a hand but does not cling on. These are the sort of catches you need to take at short leg

Manav Suthar to Sediqullah Atal, no run, loud shout for LBW. Manav is adamant to review. But Gill has a chat with Pant then with Manav and decides against a review. Good call. Atal lunges forward and plays down the wrong line. The new ball does not spin in and goes straight, beats the outside-edge and strikes the back pad. The impact was outside off..
