India 15-0 (2 ovs) vs Afghanistan

Another Zadran to bowl the other end, this time it is right arm pacer Dawlat Zadran. Gambhir gets a leading edge off the first ball which falls short of the fielder at mid-off and he is also lucky as the fielder misses with the direct hit at the non-striker's end as the batsmen went for a quick single.

A couple of deliveries later, Sehwag is beaten outside the off-stump before edging the next delivery to the thirdman region.

Gambhir lifts some of the early tension as he steers Zadran fine on the leg side to get India's first boundary. He inside edges the next ball which goes on the bounce to the keeper and stays low hitting his knee to give the batsmen a single.

Wicketkeeper Mohammad Shahzad seems to have injured his knee and getting some treatment. That ball also seemed to have stayed a bit low.

Not the best of start for India, with a few close shaves.
