Afg 38-4 (10 ovs) (f/o) vs India | Scorecard
The wickets kept tumbling for Afghanistan. This time Rahmat Shah clips a full delivery from Ishant straight into the hands of Rahane at short midwicket to perish for four.
Captain Asghar Stanikzai defends the remaining three deliveries of the over as Ishant bowls a wicket-maiden.
Umesh nearly strikes again as Stanikzai gets an edge but it falls short of the fielder at second slip. He goes again for the drive but is beaten before blocking the next two balls.
Hardik Pandya comes into the attack, replacing Ishant. Shahidi picks a single from the first ball before Stanikzai slashes a wide ball past point for a four to get off the mark.
Double change as Afghanistan's wrecker-in-chief in the first innings, Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack. Shahidi has a close shave off the first ball as he looks to steal a quick single but Pandya's wild throw from point saves him.
Stanizkai looks to be positive as he gives Ashwin the charge and lofts him down the ground for a six followed by a single off the fifth ball.
Afghanistan in a complete mess on 38 for four in 10 overs, still needing another 327 runs to avoid the innings defeat.
