    India are getting on with it and have been quick in the field.

  2. Afg 119-7

    Noor Ahmad has four from his first ball, reversing the ball over backward point.

    He then tries the shot again, but can't get it away.

    Jadeja has taken that almost wicketkeeper style by his side.

    WICKET

    Nabi c Jadeja b Kuldeep 14 (Afg 114-7)

    Six and out!

    Nabi clouts Kuldeep over long-off for four but the all-rounder has his revenge from the following ball as the Afghan all-rounder goes big but strikes into the wind, picking out Ravindra Jadeja, who takes the catch to his side.

  5. Afg 107-5

    Need 75 from 24 balls

    A touch of fortune for new batter Rashid Khan as he misses his yorker block but sees the ball pass the stumps, nutmeg Rishabh Pant and run away to the boundary for four.

    WICKET

    Najibullah c Arshdeep Singh b Bumrah 19 (Afg 102-6)

    Bumrah time, wicket time.

    The star bowler picks up his third scalp of the innings two balls after resuming, and once again an Afghanistan bat has backed away before smearing the ball away for a simple catch on the off side - this time for Arshdeep at point.

    That did go hard, the fielder is now tending to some smarting hands.

    If Afghanistan can bat their 20 overs and get 50 more, it might not be the worst thing.

  8. Afg 101-5

    Need 81 from 30 balls

    And the over closes with a single and a dot.

    Breathe.

  9. Not out

    Afg 100-5

    All going on in this over.

    Najibullah attempts to flick the ball around the corner, the ball clipping the pad and running away for a leg bye that brings up his side's hundred.

    But hold on, Rohit is trying a speculative review. Was there bat on that? Nope, but no matter because the ball is revealed to be pitching outside leg.

  10. Afg 98-5

    No stopping that!

    Najibullah pulls Hardik uppishly over square for six!

  11. Dinesh Karthik
    Former India wicketkeeper on the BBC Sounds

    Hardik has bowled cleverly. He's used the slower bouncer and hardly bowled full. His strength is to bowl a length ball at a heavy pace.

  12. Afg 92-5

    A brief break as a Hardik bouncer strikes Nabi on the helmet.

    The batters run a leg bye, but the physios come on afterwards to check on the veteran.

    He seems to be alright and we'll continue.

  13. Dinesh Karthik
    Former India wicketkeeper on the BBC Sounds

    It's been a clinical effort so far by India. They have shown why they are such a dominant force in this format of the game.

  14. Afg 91-5

    Need 91 from 36 balls

    Afghanistan are now halfway to their target... it's just that they need to get the other half from a mere six overs.

    Seven runs from this Jadeja over, but the rate has increased to over 15.

  15. Afg 84-5

    Target 182

    Just a couple more from the remainder of the over and the required rate has now crept up to 14 runs per over.

  16. Dinesh Karthik
    Former India wicketkeeper on the BBC Sounds

    That's a really good hit and Najibullah is playing one of his favourite shots, the slog sweep.

  17. 6 runs

    Afg 82-5

    Well, that's not preservation!

    A big flat slog sweep from Najibullah off Kuldeep brings six runs.

  18. Afg 75-5

    Target 182

    39-year-old Mohammad Nabi comes to the crease for Afghanistan and he and Najibullah work Axar for four singles.

    Might preservation be the order of the day now for this pair? Try and keep the net run-rate respectable.

    Another wicket goes down and India are already moving towards a comprehensive victory to start this Super 8 phase.

    WICKET

    Azmatullah c Axar b Jadeja 26 (Afg 71-5)

    And there goes Azmatullah.

    The all-rounder tries to pummel Axar Patel down the ground but only manages to toe-end the ball for another simple catch for Jadeja, this time at long-on.

    This is falling apart quite rapidly now.
