    A mini-partnership is building now, run rate is not really an issue. If they bat out the 50 overs then Afghanistan will likely pull off a big shock.

    Seven from the over. Better for Afghanistan.

    Target 225

    Now Hashmatullah Shahidi punishes Kuldeep for dropping too short. He gives the ball a good clunck and it goes for four.

    This is a better spell for Afghanistan.

    Mark Rose: India will win this comfortably. Afghanistan can't score against the spin bowlers.

  5. Afg 76-2published at 21 overs

    Afghanistan do have Mohammad Nabi to come after this. He has made a name for himself as an attacking all-rounder in global T20 leagues.

    Shot! It looked like Haridk Pandya had bowled another tight over but on the sixth ball Rahmat Shah skips down and belts him over extra cover. It's quiet again when the ball thuds into the advertising boards.

    Tales: From what I've seen of Afghanistan, one of these two batsmen needs to go on and get a score. They have got by far the best techniques in the side but have they got the temperament to match?

    Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib had looked the most likely to score the runs required for his side to win.

    He reached 27 before falling to Hardik Pandya...

  8. Afg 71-2published at 20 overs

    Rahmat 19, Hashmatullah 3

    That's a better over for Afghanistan. Four singles from it but after some tight bowling that's not enough. The required rate has crept up to 5.13.

    Dave Amitri: The joy of world cricket and it's continued expansion is the fact that Afghanistan can beat anyone in a one-off game. It's not a shock, it's cricket. An off day for India and a good day for Afghanistan maybe, but not a shock.

    Afghanistan have only scored 11 runs in the last five overs.

  11. ouch!

    Afg 67-2published at 19 overs

    Need another 158 runs to win

    That's the maiden completed by young Hardy P. The over ends with Hashmatullah inside edging one into his rib cage and he turns his back to the bowler in some pain.

    The physio comes onto the field again.

    Hardik Pandya is closing in on 50 ODI wickets for India - he needs three more to get there.

  13. Afg 67-2published at 18.4 overs

    If there were any Afghanistan fans in this ground they'd be getting twitchy now. Pandya now bowls four deliveries without conceding a run.

    India are joining the dots like one of those picture books.

  14. Afg 67-2published at 18 overs

    Need 158 more runs to win

    Hashmatullah Shahidi gets off the mark with a single on the final ball of Kuldeep's over. The wrist spinner has only conceded six runs from his three overs. Virat will be happy with that.

  17. Afg 66-2published at 17 overs

    Target 225

    Was that shot needed? Probably not. Afghanistan had already scored three singles from the first three balls of the over.

    But a boundary would release the pressure. You can't blame Gulbadin.

    Hashmatullah Shahidi comes to the crease. He scored 70-odd against England at Old Trafford.

    Well played by Pandya, steady line and lengths then he went with the short pitched delivery. That's a handy catch by Shankar as well, and that will break the back of the top order a little bit.

    Gulbadin c Shankar b Pandya 28 (Afg 64-2)

    Pandya strikes!

    India get a much needed breakthrough and it's the big wicket of the Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib who had batted well.

    Gulbadin falls, top-edging a pull to the fielder running in from deep square-leg.

  20. Afg 64-1published at 16.4 overs

    Afghanistan are scoring a lot of runs down to third man. Singles will be enough for them. The camera zooms in on Kohli.

    He's always moving in the covers but when isn't he? I wouldn't say that's a sign of nerves.
