Jaiswal has his pads on, he’ll open with Rohit. That’s a surprise move, I must admit. Probably Rinku comes in at three.
Who opens for India? You’d think Rohit and Rinku will come out? Or will it be Kohli at three? A few things to ponder. Omarzai is doing some bowling. Will Afghanistan go spin? It’ll be an interesting call to make.
Nabi has a word with Rohit. Kohli is signalling to the umpires how they could be permitted to claim the two extra runs. But the bottom line is because Nabi didn’t change direction while running, Afghanistan have been allowed those two runs. How crucial will it be in the overall scheme of things?
Mukesh Kumar to Mohammad Nabi, 3 byes, misses a wide yorker, they scamper a bye but Sanju’s throw deflects off Nabi’s legs and they’ll get two more off the overthrows. Rohit is fuming, he isn’t happy but Nabi claims he didn’t change his line of running and therefore it was accidental. The umpires are also checking for a run short, but that seems fine. What should’ve been one is three India need 17 to win.
