Rahmat Shah 36(63)
28.4
Bumrah to Rahmat, out Caught by Chahal!! Southampton comes alive. India have removed the set batsman. A much needed breakthrough as things started to favour Afghanistan in the last few overs. It was the short ball and Shah is rushed on the pull shot, the top-edge flies to fine leg and Chahal takes a really good catch. He ran in and the ball was dying in front of him before he scooped it. Pumps both his fists looking towards the crowd. Shah looked good in his stay but he's making it a bad habit of throwing away his starts. Rahmat c Chahal b Bumrah 36(63) [4s-3]
28.3
Bumrah to Rahmat, no run, good length ball outside off, Shah pushes it towards point and wanted a single, sent back
28.2
Bumrah to Rahmat, no run, back of a length around off, Shah is right behind the line to defend
28.1
Bumrah to Rahmat, no run, huge shout for LBW. Aleem Dar is unmoved and the crowd are booing.. Kohli was sure that was gone. He was almost pleading along with Bumrah. India lost their review early on. Was there an inside edge? Nope. The nip-backer from a length and Shah is caught in the crease, beaten on the inside edge and struck on the back pad, ball-tracking shows it to be clipping leg-stump and it was umpire's call. That was close, really close and could have gone either way
27.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Shahidi, no run, not all that short and hence Shahidi does not time the cut, chopped to backward point
27.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Shahidi, 2 runs, that is very casual. Even Dhoni had his hands up as to gesturing what was that. Shahidi goes for the sweep and the top-edge lands in front of deep backward square, Vijay is too casual in his approach and does not attack the ball, the duo make him pay
26.5
Bumrah to Rahmat, 2 runs, slower and fuller outside off, Shah eases it with an angled bat to backward point, Pandya lets it through his legs and gifts a couple of runs to Afghanistan. India need to tighten up
26.4
Bumrah to Rahmat, no run, was there and edge? It doesn't matter as the ball does not carry to Dhoni. The off-cutter with a bit of extra bounce, Shah tries to steer it to third man but gets an outside edge that lands well in front of the 'keeper. Bumrah has his hands on his head
26.3
Bumrah to Shahidi, 1 run, fuller and outside off, Shahidi drives square of the wicket and brings up the 100 for Afghanistan

25.5
Kuldeep Yadav to Rahmat, no run, tossed up outside off, Shah drives it back to Kuldeep
25.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Rahmat, FOUR, picked the length early and dispatched it from his presence. Long hop and Shah is quick to rock back, use the depth of the crease and muscle the pull over mid-wicket - bisected long-on and deep mid-wicket expertly
25.3
Kuldeep Yadav to Rahmat, no run, quicker and turning in sharply, Shah stays back and brings his bat across to bunt it out

Chahal to Shahidi, no run, slow turn into the left hander and Shahidi works it towards mid-wicket

22.4

20.4
Hardik Pandya to Rahmat, no run, 136kph bouncer that keeps climbing on the batsman, Shah takes it on and plays the pull, but cannot cope with the bounce and is beaten on the top-edge. One for the over signals the umpire

19.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Shahidi, 1 run, low full toss on the stumps, Shahidi drives it to long-on
18.6
Hardik Pandya to Shahidi, no run, knew the short ball was coming. A typical pacer's response when he's angry and Shahidi is hit on the ribs. He clutches and sits for a moment. That's painful, a big bruise for sure, icepack later on and he's okay to continue for now. Shahidi tried to hop and defend, missed the line. Looked like it didn't bounce as much as Shahidi anticipated. Hardik Pandya bowls a maiden over. Quite a turnaround from the way he bowled before drinks
16.3

16.1
Hardik Pandya to Rahmat, no run, fullish and outside off stump, Rahmat defends into the off-side
15.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Naib, no run, how did that miss the edge/off stump?. This is the slider that doesn't turn, Naib played inside the line as he looked to defend, the ball was so close to the bat when it crossed. Dhoni calmly collects with an "Ohhhh" expression
15.4
Kuldeep Yadav to Naib, 1 run, lofted uppishly, but there is no catching fielder at mid-off, easy run it turns out
15.2
Kuldeep Yadav to Rahmat, no run, Kuldeep Yadav flights this googly and Rahmat didn't read that, almost fell over trying to play on-side, ball spun past him, Dhoni whipped the bails off in a flash, luckily for Rahmat, the back foot didn't come out
15.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Naib, 1 run, Kuldeep loops this at 77kph, too full to beat the bat on the drive, hit off the toe-end to long-off
14.5
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, why is he trying to follow up every full ball on the off stump with a short one wide of off stump? What's the plan? Can't understand. He's very lucky that Rahmat cut and found backward point. Now Kohli puts his arm over Chahal and has a chat
14.4
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, floated up on the off stump, turn on offer, Rahmat negates with a forward block
14.3
Chahal to Naib, 1 run, this is a poor short ball wide outside off stump, cut to sweeper cover

12.5
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, use of the feet, driven to cover, oh Kohli fires the throw right on Rahmat's back. Apologises. Rohit checks on his health too. Nicely hit along the ground, but couldn't hit the gap. Kohli went for the sticks as Rahmat was outside the crease but lost control while throwing
12.4
Chahal to Rahmat, no run, nicely bowled, rushed Rahmat on the defence, batsman manages to push it towards cover

10.6
Chahal to Naib, no run, slower through the air, Naib defends off the front foot
10.3
Chahal to Rahmat, FOUR, oh this is too short, Rahmat is a pretty solid batsman, he rocks back and pulls over mid-wicket, who thought he could jump and fancy a grab overhead, Kuldeep ran to his right from long-on, dived but the leg was touching the rope when he was in contact with the ball

8.2
Chahal to Naib, 1 run, flighted and on the stumps, Naib prods forward and knocks it down to long-on
7.6
Bumrah to Rahmat, leg byes, 1 run, that's a nasty delivery. It didn't bounce as Rahmat would have anticipated and he was in an awkward position to combat it. It hit him on the back of the neck and deflected to the on-side. That would have hurt, he isn't showing it though
7.5
Bumrah to Naib, 3 runs, this was angling back into Naib, he used the angle well and tucked it wide of mid-wicket. The throw came to Virat Kohli who absolutely blasted the ball back to the striker's end
7.3
Bumrah to Rahmat, no run, this one skids after hitting the deck on a short of length. Rahmat did well to evade it. It absolutely thuds into the gloves of MS
