    1.3 Dube exacts revenge almost instantly! Length delivery on off stump. The ball seems to bounce a tad extra and hits Akbari high on the bat as he looks to go downtown. Cloths it and mid on runs back a couple of paces to complete a fairly regulation catch! 5/1
    2.5 edged and taken! Shahzad is not happy with the decision but he has to walk back! Hard length, and following the batter outside leg. Shahzad tries to dab it away because that is all he can do, having been cramped up. Seems to nick it through to the keeper but Shahzad is quite adamant the ball has brushed either the forearm or the bicep. We'll need replays to confirm, but for now, Afghanistan are two down inside three overs! 9/2
    3.2 oh dear, this is catastrophic! Drops it short on the stumps. Zadran rocks back and heaves it away. Bishnoi mops it up nicely on the deep square leg fence and then fires an accurate enough throw at the batter's end. Zadran, almost as an afterthought, wanted the second and is caught inches short of his ground as Jitesh whips off the bails! 12/3

    9.4 goes through him like a hot knife through butter! Superbly-disguised wrong'un that pitches on a length just outside off and rips back in. Zazai, much like most of the innings, has no clue about the variation and plays outside the line. The ball fizzes past the inside edge and crashes into off stump. Bishnoi is elated, and just when Afghanistan were establishing a foothold in the contest, they have lost a wicket! 49/4
    10.5 cleans him up! Slowed up beautifully on a full length on off stump. Janat goes searching for it in front of his pad and seems to be playing for the turn. This one, though, comes through with the arm, breezes past the inside edge and crashes into middle and off stump! 52/5
