IND vs AFG One-off Test Day 2 LIVE Score: India's players celebrate the wicket of Afghanistan's Sediqullah Atal on day two

IND vs AFG One-off Test Day 2 Highlights: Debutant Manav Suthar and fast bowler Prasidh Krishna picked up five wickets between themselves to send Afghanistan's top-order packing in the final session. Suthar picked up a wicket on either side of the Tea break, before dismissing Afsar on the final ball of the day. Earlier, he dismissed Abdul Malik before Tea, and then got rid of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in his economical spell of 3/21 in 15.5 overs. Krishna struck twice in the final session, dismissing Sediqullah Atal and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.

Rahmat Shah was the only standout batter for the visitors, managing an unbeaten 43 off 81. Afghanistan still trail by 451 runs in the first innings.

Shubman Gill made the declaration call in the post-Lunch session, after Washington Sundar got his half-century. Sundar's unbeaten 68-ball 52* was key after Lunch as India posted 564/8 in 127 overs. Saleem Safi struck twice in the post-Lunch session to complete his five-wicket haul. The pacer removed debutant Manav Suthar (28 off 41 balls). He also dismissed Mohammed Siraj (22). Earlier, Suthar and Washington Sundar remained unbeaten as India reached 475/6 in 110 overs at Lunch on Day 2. The first session saw India get off to a strong start, but the Afghans fought back later. Afghanistan came up with the perfect response as Hashmatullah Shahidi removed Rishabh Pant for 81 off 121 balls. Meanwhile, Saleem Safi completed his four-wicket haul on Day 2. The Afghanistan pacer first removed Shubman Gill (126 off 177 balls) and then struck again, dismissing Dhruv Jurel (19 off 20 balls), adding to his tally from Day 1. Gill also got lucky earlier after they didn't go for an obvious LBW review. Replays later showed that there was no inside edge, and it was hitting the wickets. Day 1 was perfect for India as they posted 368/3 in 85 overs at Stumps. The match began with Gill winning the toss, opting to bat, and it proved to be the right decision. The players also adapted quickly to the demands of red-ball cricket after a long T20 season. Except for Yashasvi Jaiswal, every other batter made crucial contributions. KL Rahul and Gill registered stunning tons. Meanwhile, Sai Sudharsan and Rishabh Pant managed half-centuries. There were some century partnerships too. The Indian batters worked hard in the hot weather. Afghanistan did put in a good effort, at least in the first two sessions. But they ran out of ideas in the final session and didn't choose to take the second new ball.
