The third umpire says its OUT! The Afghanistan pair is talking to the umpires but there’s no changing the decision. The Afghanistan coach signals from the boundary, asking his batter to stay. To no avail, he has to walk back.
Zubaid Akbari c Prabhsimran b Aaqib 64 (41)
Karim Janat at No. 3. Taps his first delivery to deep cover for one. Appeals for lbw now but its not given. Karim gets one on his pads which he tucks away past fine leg for a boundary.

FOUR through long off and that’s FIFTY FOR ATAL TOO.
Chahar again. He keeps the deliveries wide, bowls a couple of wrong one, forcing the batters to generate power for their shots. Succeeds in avoiding boundaries, just six off it.
Tilak Varma to bowl now. A short delivery to start with, Atal pulls but there is a deep mid wicket, keeps it down to a single. Akbari hits it back towards Tilak, who sees the ball escape his reach, allowing a single. On the pads, Atal places it to long on for another run. Another single to long on makes it four off the over.
SIX! Badoni is short once again and Atal rocks back into his crease to pull this over mid wicket. An appeal for stumping. Badoni floats this outside off, Atal leans in for a drive and is done by the turn. Prabhsimran takes the bails off in a flash and the third umpire has been called upon. The foot goes up in the air for a moment but he gets it down before the bails come off.
Rahul Chahar for the first time today. India needs a wicket from him. Full outside off, Akbari drives to sweeper cover for a single. Atal clips through long on off his back foot. SIX! In the slot from Chahar and this one disappears over mid wicket. Follows up with a wide. A single to deep cover on the fourth delivery. A single for Atal to end the over.
Another over for Badoni. Keeps it stump-to-stump in this over, gives away four singles. Some semblance of control for India in this over.

Kamboj for his second. FOUR! Atal heaves it over the infield and the mid on fielder watches it sail over. SIX! Creams it over cover-point, not in full control of this but it still lands over the ropes. 16 runs from the over, a big one for Afghanistan.
A bowling change right away. Seven runs off it that includes a crisp cut through backward point for FOUR.
Aaqib Khan keeps it tight to the start the over. Akbari picks a FOUR through long off.
