India 29-2 (5 ovs) vs Afghanistan

WICKET: Sehwag c Shahzad b S Zadran 8 (10b, 1x4)

Sehwag's struggle finally ends. He gets an outside edge off left-armer Shapoor Zadran and is caught behind for eight.

India in a spot of bother now as they are reduced to 22 for two after 4.1 overs. The Afghanistan team are celebrating wildly out in the middle and why not!! India's batsmen have looked out of place and struggled against the new ball, which has moved a bit.

Yuvraj Singh gets a promotion in the batting to number four ahead of Suresh Raina.

The first ball to Yuvraj is a wide outside the off-stump as Zadran misses his radar. The left-hander defends the next delivery to the cover region with a confident frontfoot drive.

After another couple of defensive prods, Yuvraj gets off the mark in some style. He lofts Zadran back over his head into the stands over long-on for a huge six. And that was a statement of intent!!
