Prasidh Krishna to Hashmatullah Shahidi, Half a shout for caught behind, but turned down. Not much conviction in the appeal and India do not take the review. Slower, short ball, on off. Shahidi is way too early into the pull and fails to connect.

Score211 - 9

Prasidh Krishna to Hashmatullah Shahidi, At 130.6 kph, dug in short, on off. Hashmatullah makes room for himself and gets his hands high. He flays it over backward point but it is cut off by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is swift to his right in the deep. No single taken as Shahidi's cramps are now severely restricting his movement.

Score207 - 9

Washington Sundar to Hashmatullah Shahidi, OUT! FAREED IS RUN OUT! That's really poor running between the wickets, never a single there, and why would Hashmatullah Shahidi even want to give the strike to a tailender? Washington Sundar bowls it full and flat outside off, Shahidi blocks it to the right of cover and sets off for the single yet again. Fareed Ahmad responds and races to the danger end. Shubman Gill picks up the ball cleanly and fires in a throw at the top of the stumps. Ishan Kishan collects it and whips off the bails in a flash, with Fareed well short of his crease. Also, Ziaur Rahman is the last batter in for Afghanistan.

Out goes AM Ghazanfar and in walks Fareed Ahmad. We now have the official clarification regarding the confusion at the end of the previous over. Hashmatullah Shahidi did take a single, but in doing so, he ran through the danger area. He had already been warned by the umpires earlier in the innings, and with this being a repeat offence, the single was disallowed, and Afghanistan have also been docked five runs. That explains why Rashid Khan was on strike at the start of the over.

Score207 - 8

Harsh Dubey to Hashmatullah Shahidi, OUT! GHAZANFAR IS RUN OUT! A bit unnecessary and Afghanistan's innings is coming off the boil here. Harsh Dubey bowls it flatter on the pads, Hashmatullah Shahidi tucks it towards square leg and the batters set off for the single. Shubman Gill at mid-wicket moves to his left and fires in a throw towards the keeper. AM Ghazanfar dives in as Ishan Kishan takes off the bails, and replays show that the batter is short of his crease.

Harsh Dubey to AM Ghazanfar, Oh, a tough chance, and that's gone down. Flatter on middle, punched back down to the right of the bowler. Harsh Dubey springs across and the ball just bursts through the hand and down to long on for a single.

Score206 - 7

Harsh Dubey to Rashid Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! Top catch in the deep. Harsh Dubey bowls it fuller on off, Rashid Khan backs away and goes inside-out over covers but doesn't get all of it. Prince Yadav comes charging in forward and to his right from sweeper cover and slides in to take a fine catch.

The end of Powerplay 2! India are now allowed an extra fielder outside the inner circle. Can Afghanistan get to somewhere around 260 from here? Let's find out. Also, the umpires are now pushing Hashmatullah Shahidi a bit as he's been holding up play after every over.

Hashmatullah Shahidi is really struggling with cramps and the physio rushes out to have a look. This time, it seems to be the right arm that is cramping up for Shahidi. He rehydrates a bit, and eventually, he is good to continue again.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Easily done! This sits up to be hit, at waist height and the line is at the hips. Nabi puts it away with a swivel-pull to the left of short fine leg for a boundary.
