Prince Yadav to Rahmat Shah, out Caught by Gurnoor Brar!! India win by 170 runs. Handshakes between the players. Rasooli is not coming back to bat. The game's done and India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Shah's resistance finally comes to an end. Short ball angled in, Shah takes it on and pulls it to fine leg. He could not keep it down and hit it flat. Brar comes in and takes a brilliant catch. That ball was dying on him and for a tall guy to go down and take it was impressive. Rahmat Shah c Gurnoor Brar b Prince Yadav 79(89) [4s-8]

Gurnoor Brar to Saleem Safi, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Finally India have managed to get past Safi's defence. But it needed a top delivery from Brar to send Safi back. This is a 139.5ks yorker which tails in late, sneaks under Safi's bat and crashes into the base of middle-stump. That ball would have got a few top order batters as well. Saleem Safi b Gurnoor Brar 9(19) [4s-2]

Gurnoor Brar to Rahmat Shah, FOUR, nicely done! On a length and outside off, Shah does not overhit the steer, he uses the pace of Brar and guides it behind square on the off-side. The ball races away..

Arshdeep Singh to AM Ghazanfar, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Back to back wickets for Arshdeep. He's on a hat-trick. Ghazanfar stands there and keeps looking at the bottom of his bat. Fullish delivery, the line was around off and Ghazanfar thought he could play the lofted drive, gets it off the toe-end and Iyer takes a simple catch at mid-off.

Gets beaten on the outside edge, the ball brushes the back leg before lighting up the stumps. Nangeyalia Kharoti b Prince Yadav 6(11)

Prince Yadav to Rahmat Shah, FOUR, another straight drive! 139.6kph, this is even better from Rahmat Shah. Fullish length, the right-hander gets forward and drives it to the right of the bowler. No one's stopping that and Rahmat rightly poses for the photographs

Washington Sundar to Sediqullah Atal, out Lbw!! LBW appeal and Richard Illingworth is quick to raise the finger. Afghanistan review. 92.2kph, quick and flat that skids off the deck.
