OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan are still in it. On a good length, attacking the top of off. Shreyas Iyer leans across to the off side and tries to manufacture a big shot as he tries to muscle it across the line.

Should have been put away. Short and wide outside off, Shubman Gill stands tall and looks to cut but is beaten by the extra pace. 52 needed now off 42 balls.

Flatter this time, on off, Rahul goes back in his crease and pushes it in front of point for a quick single.

Khan offers a lot more flight, enticing the batter and inducing a false shot as well. A tossed-up googly on middle, Gill heaves across the line but gets it off the inner half of the blade to long on for one.

A dot to end the over, and India now need 39 runs off 30 balls. Good length on off and middle, tucked off the back foot towards mid-wicket. Rashid Khan is now bowled out.

Loopy ball, on middle. This is eased to long off by KL for a run.

More air given by AM Ghazanfar but very full, on middle. Gill makes room but can't get under it. He powers it to the left of long off and is keen for the second but Rahul says no. 5 runs off the over with a ball to go.

Another quiet over. Keeps it full but this is flat, on middle. KL steps out and knocks it to long on for one more run. AM Ghazanfar is done for the night. No wicket to show for his efforts but an economical outing for him, conceding 28 runs from his 5 overs. India require 33 runs in 24 balls.

SIX! That will ease a bit of pressure for India. Pace off by Rahman, bowled into the surface and it is wide on off. Rahul is made to reach out, and he gets on his toes to slap it with a horizontal bat back over the bowler's head for a six.

FOUR! A shot of high quality. Pace on now, on a good length, around off. Rahul arches back and plays the lofted hit on the rise. Goes inside out over cover and picks up a boundary. 10 runs off the first 2 balls. 23 needed off 22.

FOUR! Make that 14 runs off the first 3 balls. Rahman take pace off and goes into the surface. Ends up being a bit too short and Rahul waits on it before swatting it with a flat bat to the left of long on for four more.

Bump ball! Seam-up ball, very full, outside off. Rahul extends his hands to drive it through the off side. Gets an outside edge and it is taken behind by the keeper. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is up in an appeal and the umpire sends it upstairs. There was a deflection but the replays show that the ball went to the keeper on the bounce.

On a hard length, on off. Rahul taps it to cover.

SIX! That has gone back many a mile. Rahul ends the over just the way he started. Rahman hurls it full, just outside the off stump. Rahul does not move his feet much and just lets his hands flow into the shot. Goes inside out over cover with a high elbow for half a dozen. 20 runs off the over, just the over India wanted. 13 more needed for the home side from 18 balls.

FOUR! That has gone to the fence in a flash. Bowled at 145.6 kph, on a length, outside off. Rahul gets the width to work with and he cashes in. He slams it hard and wide of the mid off fielder to his left for another four. Just 4 more needed for India.

Drags the length back now, on off. KL stabs it down on the off side.

FOUR! KL Rahul manages to evade two fielders and finds the fence to seal the win. India win by 7 wickets to go 1-0 up in the series. Saleem takes pace off and goes fuller at the stumps. Rahul swings through the line of the ball. He is a bit early into the stroke and it is skied behind mid off. The mid off fielder turns around and goes after it. The long on fielder also converges, but the ball lands away from the reach of the two men. It bounces just in front of the long off fence and trickles into the boundary cushions.
