85.6
4
Ahmadzai to Jadeja, FOUR, edged and dropped, the bowler isn't happy with the effort of his keeper. Grabs the cap from the umpire and is visibly frustrated. Lovely delivery first-up, this was full and this was just outside off, lured Jadeja into the drive, he went with hard hands and found the edge, carried to the left of Zazai at a good height, he grabbed at the ball and it burst off his palms, deflected away from first slip and rolled away to the fence
85.5
W
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, out Caught by Zazai!! Afghanistan are celebrating and the umpire wants to know if it's a clean catch. That means he reckons there was an edge, the soft signal is OUT. It's a fair delivery, there's a sound as the ball went past the bat, on first replays, it's clear that the ball went straight into the gloves of Zazai. Umpire Tucker is happy with what he has seen and Ashwin is OUT. Loose shot from Ashwin, perhaps the ball didn't bounce as much as he expected. This was short and this was wide of off, Ashwin threw his bat at that, the ball grazed the under-edge and just about carried through to Zazai. So India lose their first wicket of the morning. Ashwin c Zazai b Ahmadzai 18(39) [4s-1]
85.4
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, banged in short and climbing onto the right-hander, Ashwin stands tall, rided the bounce and keeps it down
85.3
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, tad fuller and just outside off, Pandya pushes it in front of mid-off and calls for a quick single. The throw is at Ashwin's end and he has to put on the skates to make his ground
85.2
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, 1 run, a limp pull from Ashwin and he nearly holed out to mid-wicket, swivelled across to a short ball and was looking to just help it on its way
85.1
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, on a good length and just outside off, Ashwin shuffles across and defends it back at the bowler
83.6
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, short of a good length and holding its line outside off, left alone
83.5
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, another cracker from Ahmadzai, came from wide of the crease and then got it to angle across the right-hander, Pandya didn't need to play at that, but he was sucked into pushing at the angle, very lucky to not have edged it
83.4
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, lovely delivery, on a good length and a hint of shape away from outside off, drew Pandya forward into the defensive push and beat him on the outside edge
83.3
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, back of a length and just outside off, Pandya stays back and finds cover with the back-foot punch
83.2
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, 3 runs, fumble at backward point and that nearly cost India a wicket. Ashwin was very slow in turning back for the third run, might have just made it - even if the ball had hit the stumps at the bowler's end. Good backing up ensures that Afghanistan didn't concede seven runs off the ball. This was short and wide of off, Ashwin stood tall and punched it towards gully where Shahidi let it slip through his hands
83.1
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, short of a length and holding its line well outside off, left alone
81.6
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Ashwin reaches out and pushes it back at the bowler
81.5
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, on a good length and a hint of tail back into the right-hander, Ashwin doesn't need to play at those, left alone
81.4
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, that's a brave leave from Ashwin, this one jagged back in a long way from outside off, Ashwin covered the line, trusted the bounce and let it go by. Went over the top of off-stump, definite signs of reverse now
81.3
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, full and wide of off, Ashwin reaches out with his hands and pushes it towards the off-side
81.2
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, no run, on a good length and a hint of shape back into the right-hander, Ashwin shuffles across and defends it back at the bowler
81.1
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, fuller length delivery outside off, Pandya leans forward and finds the gap wide of cover with the drive, a tumbling stop by the fielder moving across from mid-off saves a boundary
79.6
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, the bouncer from Ahmadzai, angling down the leg-side, a late afterthought from Pandya as he looked to pull, missed it by a long way
79.5
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Pandya gets forward and drives it back at the bowler
79.4
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, on a good length and in that channel outside off, left alone
79.3
4
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, lovely shot, too straight from Ahmadzai, he hasn't got his line right so far, drifts this one onto Pandya's pads and it's clipped away in front of square on the on-side. There's no one manning in the deep and it's an early boundary
79.2
Ahmadzai to Hardik Pandya, no run, on a good length and just outside off, Pandya gets a good stride forward and defends
79.1
Ahmadzai to Ashwin, 1 run, uppish and safe, Ashwin was a tad too early on the flick to this inswinger, went off the leading edge and wide of mid-on, the fielder is quick on the ball and keeps the batsmen down to a single
61.6
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, front foot covers the stumps and then some. Left alone
61.5
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, too full on off-stump and Pujara's a touch late in drilling that to mid-on. All safe
61.4
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, too much movement outside off, easy easy leave. Pujara doesn't even bother. Doesn't need to
61.3
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, takes the ball away with some seam movement again, Pujara leaves
61.2
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, yes he's getting that shape. That inward shape and then the deck off the pitch. Pretty similar to the ball that got Vijay, just that it missed Pujara's pad (and his off-stump)
61.1
Ahmadzai to Pujara, no run, gets it to curl in from wide of the crease. Full too. Blocked
58.6
Ahmadzai to Rahane, no run, back to fuller balls on the stumps. Rahane blocks
58.4
Ahmadzai to Rahane, no run, Rahane reviews here. He's been given out, caught behind while trying to pull a short ball. Afghanistan think they've bounced out the India captain, and so does the umpire. What a moment this can be.. err.. wait ho! We have the slowmo replays in. Looks like it missed the bat and flew back off Rahane's left shoulder. Oh yeah. There's nothing on the snicko as the ball passes the top-edge of the bat. Rahane lives on!
58.3
Ahmadzai to Rahane, no run, fullish but wide of off, left alone
58.2

52.3

52.2
Ahmadzai to Rahane, no run, goes wide of the crease and angles it on off-stump. Blocked from the crease
52.1
W
Ahmadzai to Rahul, out Bowled!! Chopped on. Off-stump's prostrating on the ground. Goes for the cut but the line's a little too close to him outside off. Ricochets down and smashes into the stumps. End of a pretty good innings by a certain Rahul as India's No.3 ... Rahul b Ahmadzai 54(64) [4s-8]
34.6
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, Vijay was letting those go at the start of the innings, but because he is well set he chases a short and wide one, the ball seams away enough to beat the outside edge. He practices the shot immediately
34.5
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, back of a length just outside off, blocked solidly off the back foot
34.4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, good length ball outside off, Vijay shoulders arms
34.3
Ahmadzai to Rahul, 1 run, loose from Rahul. Full and teasing the batsman to play away from the body, Rahul obliges and the thickish outside edge lands well in front of gully, a half stop allows the batsmen to cross over
34.2
Ahmadzai to Vijay, 1 run, on a length just outside off, Vijay plays that on the up and pushes it past cover, Stanikzai from mid-off backs up and keeps it to a single
34.1
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, angled in from wide of the crease, Vijay knocks it to mid-on
32.6
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, fuller and around off, Rahul drives on the up and finds the man at cover
32.5
Ahmadzai to Vijay, 3 runs, similar delivery to the previous one and Vijay picks a different area to play the shot, prods across and uses his wrists to flick it past the mid-on fielder. Mujeeb gives chase and hauls it in just before the rope, three more
32.4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, Ahmadzai is almost cutting the side crease, that is how far wide he is going to angle it in, does not get it to straighten and Vijay plays a crisp off-drive straight to the mid-off fielder
32.3
Ahmadzai to Rahul, 1 run, goes wide of the crease and drifts it into the batsman's pads, flicked away to fine leg
32.2

30.6
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, full and attacking the stumps, Rahul plays it in front of his pads to mid-on

30.4
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, fuller and on off, Rahul taps it back to the bowler
30.3
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, shortens the length and gets it to tail in late, Rahul was committed to the leave and then had to remove his gloves from the line of the ball because of the inward movement
30.2
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, pitched up and Rahul goes full-throttle on the drive, creams it straight to the man at cover. That was hit really hard and either side of the fielder and it would have raced away
30.1
Ahmadzai to Rahul, no run, on a length and around off, Rahul presses forward and defends to point
28.6
Ahmadzai to Vijay, 1 run, waits for the ball to slant into him and then softly nudges it past the short squarish mid-wicket, for a single
28.5
Ahmadzai to Rahul, 1 run, Rahul first said no and then called Vijay through. In the end it was easily stolen. Good length ball seaming in and hitting Rahul's splice, rolls in in front of mid-on and it was Mujeeb who was not attacking the ball
28.4
W
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, out Caught by Nabi!! Ahmadzai has the first wicket for Afghanistan in Test cricket. And it is of the centurion. Dhawan does not add much to his first session score. Loose shot and one you can relate to as an after-the-break kind of shot. Full and outside off, Dhawan's eyes lit up on seeing the length and he didn't hold back on the drive, the outside edge flies to second slip, where Rahmat Shah made a meal of it, but thankfully Nabi at first slip is aware of the situation. Steps forward and gobbles up the rebound. There is still a bit of movement for the pacer and that brought about Dhawan's downfall. Dhawan c Nabi b Ahmadzai 107(96) [4s-19 6s-3]
28.3
Ahmadzai to Vijay, 1 run, nips back in and Vijay is not fully forward, the bat comes down little late and the thickish inside edge rolls away to fine leg
28.2
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, 1 run, length remains the same but the line is too straight, picked away through the vacant mid-wicket region
28.1
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, no run, on a length and angled across the left-hander, Dhawan lifts his bat and lets it go
6.6
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, no run, back of a length delivery but down leg yet again. Another inswinger down the drain. Poor lines. That ends the over
6.5
4
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, FOUR, a bit of swing in but poor line. Into leg-stump, Dhawan walks across and just whips it away to fine leg for four where Mujeeb fails to save the boundary
6.4
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, no run, full and outside off again, guided with an open face towards cover point off the front foot
6.3
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, no run, good length just outside off, a tap on the head off the back foot, and rushes for a non-existent run. Common sense takes over and he is back
6.2
4
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, FOUR, fuller length but Dhawan was not quite to the pitch. Fractionally outside off, and a crisply timed drive through to the deep extra cover fence for four. Right out of the screws!
6.2
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, wide, length and angling away, movement away as well. Far too wide, and wide enough to be called a Test match wide. Wow, three wides in that sentence :O
6.1
4
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, FOUR, full on the pads, and a lofted whip away in front of deep square leg for four. Non-chalantly done!
4.6
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, good length outside off, straightening, not close enough to off, left alone
4.5
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, length ball just outside off again, and keeps low this time. Vijay lets it go by, albeit more watchfully this time
4.4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, just marginally too wide again, Vijay wants nothing to do with it. Perfect length though, but the line needs to attack the stumps. 3 real, two imaginary
4.3
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, good length fractionally wide outside off, Vijay lets it go by
4.2
4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, leg byes, FOUR, back of a length and angling into his pads again, hits him on the thighs in fact, as he misses the glance, away to the boundary for four leg-byes
4.1
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, fuller in length just outside off, no lateral movement, Vijay raises his arms to surrender as the ball goes through
2.6
4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, FOUR, oh! Another full one, and again, lazy feet from MVJ. Sharp and acute movement off the turn, and you just can't play those transfer-of-weight shots! The in-seamer, takes a thick inside edge past the keeper to fine leg for four. Unfortunate for the bowler
2.5
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, scrambled seamer angled in on middle and straightening marginally. Defended late off the back foot
2.4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, another one on a good length but I0$ a tad wide outside off. Not nagging enough. Left alone comfortably
2.3
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, full outside off, Vijay tries to transfer his weight into that cover drive, gets an inside edge onto his pad. Can't play through the line with so much grass on the wicket, especially against the SG ball
2.2
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, full but down leg side, Vijay misses the glance and it goes through to the keeper
2.1
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, good length ball, perfect Test length, but just fractionally wide outside off. The batsman shoulders arms
0.6
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, good length ball in the channel outside off, holding its line, left alone comfortably by MVJ
0.5
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, oh Test cricket, I've missed you! A peach of a delivery in the hallway of hesitation outside off, swinging away off the hands and then jagging away off the jute seam, beating Vijay on the back foot defensive. Past the outside edge
0.4
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, looked like the away-swinger outside off, very full in length, Vijay gets forward to drive through mid-off, miscues it off the inside half towards mid-on. Played for too much movement
0.3
Ahmadzai to Vijay, no run, fuller length ball just outside off, pushed straight to mid-off
0.2
Ahmadzai to Dhawan, 1 run, back of a length yet again, and another thick inside edge to backward square leg for a single. Some kick and skid off the surface
0.1
Ahmadzai to Vijay, leg byes, 1 run, excellent first ball after that false start. Hitting a back of a length and nipping in, and an inside edge into the pad for a single. However, the umpire signals a leg bye. So Vijay has to wait for his first run
