Ashwin picks 3rd wicket, Afghanistan 8 down

June 15, 2018 14:08

Afg 87-8 (25 ovs) vs India 474-all | Scorecard

Nabi gives Ashwin the charge and lofts him straight down the ground for a four before he takes one off the fifth ball in a bid to keep the strike for the next over.

In the next over, Nabi paddle sweeps Jadeja for two runs to become the first Afghanistan batsman to go past the 20-run mark in the innings.

Nabi again takes a single off the fifth to expose Ahmadzai for just one ball, who nearly lobs one to Vijay at silly point.

Nabi sweeps Ashwin powerfully but only for a single to deep square leg. Ahmadzai attempts a reckless swipe against Ashwin and only manages to slice a simple catch to Jadeja at point to fall for a duck.

Afghanistan's sorry showing with the bat continues as they slip to a lowly 87 for eight.
