Here's Namooh Shah with another stat. Lowest Men's T20I total against India:

57 - U.A.E, Today

66 - NZ, Ahmedabad 2023

70 - IRE, Dublin 2018

80 - ENG, Colombo 2012

7:44pm Well, that was brisk. UAE made a pretty decent fist of it at the start, with Sharafu and Waseem finding a few boundaries. But once both openers fell, it was a bit of a procession. UAE slumped from 47-2 to 57 all out, with India running through the middle and lower order.

Kuldeep was the star of the show, bagging a four-wicket haul and proving his worth in this format. Varun was not shabby either, with Axar also doing his bit. Dube, played as India's third seam-bowling option, also thrived and finished with a three-wicket haul. Bumrah, back in the T20I side for the first time since the T20 World Cup final last year, also got on the board, although he did look a little rusty. India will be fairly confident of chasing this down, and with only a 58-run target in front of them, they might look to swell their NRR too. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Kuldeep Yadav to Haider Ali, OUT, appeal for a caught-behind, and given! Kuldeep has four, and UAE have been rolled over for 57! Googly on a length outside off. Grips in the surface and rips back in. Haider nibbles at it and seems to miss it, with the ball then flicking the flap of the front pad before being caught by Samson. The umpire gives it out, much to Haider's disbelief but Haider can do nothing about it because....UAE are out of reviews. That sort of sums up UAE's night so far!

Dube to Muhammad Rohid, 2 runs, length outside off. Rohid transfers his weight onto the front foot and chips it over extra cover. Off the mark with a brace

Rohid is the last batter in

Dube to Junaid Siddique, OUT, shanked a mile up, and Suryakumar does just enough in the end! Full outside off. Siddique clears his front leg and tries to smash that into next week. Gets it right off the toe-end, though, and only gets height on it. No distance at all and Suryakumar settles under the high ball in the mid on region and snaffles it up, eventually!

Junaid Siddique c Yadav b Dube 0 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Dube to Junaid Siddique, 1 wide, another short ball and this slides way down leg. Siddique swings and misses, and the umpire indulges in some exercise

Dube to Junaid Siddique, no run, what has happened here?! Banged into the track on leg stump. Siddique swings for the hills and misses, and then argues that his concentration was put off by the rag falling off Dube's trousers. During that entire sequence, Samson gathers the ball and hits the stumps, and we no go upstairs to check for the stumping. And guess what, Siddique has been caught napping. Oh dear - this is not a good look for Siddique, and he will not want to watch these replays. He was arguing about what had happened down the other end and forgot to regain his ground. An elementary error, and UAE are nine down! India have now withdrawn their appeal. Think it might have been down to Siddique speaking about the rag that fell off Dube's trousers, and India were happy to accept that explanation!
