India 20-1 (3 ovs) vs Afghanistan

WICKET: Gambhir b S Zadran 10 (8b, 1x4)

India lose their first wicket as Gautam Gambhir is bowled for 10. Once again that nervy poke outside the off-stump by Gambhir without any footwork as he tries to steer it to the thirdman region but inside edges it back on to his stumps.

A big boost for Afghanistan as they get an early wicket with the new ball as Gambhir's poor run in recent matches continues.

The in-form Virat Kohli walks out to bat and he confidently drives the first ball to mid-off. Sehwag takes a few strides down the wicket as Nawroz Mangal makes a direct hit at the stumps which is referred to the third umpire, but the opener is clearly back in his crease.

Kohli gets off the mark with a steer to the thirdman region. Zadran then beats Sehwag with a beauty that bounces a bit extra and leaves the right-hander, who plays and misses.

Sehwag then gets his first boundary off the next ball as he flicks it over midwicket to take full toll of a full delivery on the stumps.

Zadran beats Sehwag again with the last ball of that over, as the veteran right-hander is yet again beaten outside the off-stump.

India's batsmen not looking comfortable out in the middle.
