AM Ghazanfar to Shubman Gill, Half an appeal from the keeper for caught behind, but the umpire turns it down. No wide given either, and replays confirm that the ball did just flick the pad. Nagging length, just angled down leg. Gill leans on to flick but misses.

Rashid Khan to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Rashid Khan breaks through for Afghanistan. It is the googly that does the trick for Rashid. Floated up from around the wicket, more on the fuller side and in line with the off stump. Kishan steps out and swings at it, looking to launch it down the ground. One hand comes off the bat handle, and he fails to get to the pitch of the ball. It spins past the outside edge to clatter into the off pole. The 70-run stand comes to an end. India are now 116/2, needing 79 runs off 73 balls.
