India off to a slow start

India 34-0 (9 ovs) vs Afg 159 | Scorecard

Rahane gets his first boundary as he flicks a full delivery from Zadran through midwicket, in the eighth over.

It has been a safety-first approach by the two Indian openers as they reach 34 for no loss in nine overs at the innings break.

Rahane made 16 from 26 balls, while Dhawan hit 18 from 28 balls as India scored below four runs per over before the break.

Afghanistan's opening bowlers, off-spinner Nabi and left-arm pacer Zadran, have not caused the batsmen any problems but have managed to keep the runs down in the early overs.

India will look to score more freely after the break and assert themselves over the Afghanistan bowlers.
