Ind vs Afg Live Blog – Suryakumar fifty lifts India to 181

India overcame the conditions with Suryakumar Yadav in the first innings. Now they are harnessing them with Jasprit Bumrah. Yet again his slower ball produces a false shot, Hazratullah Zazai, who has a high score of 162, which really is why he came into this game, to produce that kind of wildcard impact, is done all ends up.

First the line of the ball, pitching on leg stump, makes him play with a closed face. That’s a mistake because this is the offbreak and as soon as it hits the pitch, there’s puff of dust and it spins clean across the left-hander to nick his leading edge and goes through to Jadeja at point. What a bowler.
