India vs Afghanistan, World Cup 2023 Highlights: Rohit's ton, Kohli fifty helps IND take AFG to the cleaners

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Cheeky from the Afghanistan captain. He makes the third ball of the 32nd from Siraj run between the keeper and second slip by just opening the face of the bat, almost helping the ball along with a slight alteration in its direction.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Shahidi clears the front leg and smashes Bumrah through point for the last ball of the 31st. Afghanistan really getting a move on now, the partnership has touched 90 in 108. Shahidi on 40 off 52 balls, Omarzai on 47 off 58.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Afghanistan 107/3 in 24.2 overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: The run rate is coming down, despite the fact that Shahidi took a wild swing at the first ball of the 22nd over from Jadeja and it went behind to the boundary off a top edge. He then indicated to the umpire that India had an extra man outside the ring and so it is called a no ball as well. They are only able to take a single off the free hit delivery after which just one more run comes in the over. Afghanistan are grinding along at a run rate of 4.22.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Afghanistan 93/3 in 22 overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Kuldeep Yadav with the 17th over and Jadeja with the 18th. We are over one and a half hours into the match and India have only sent in 18 overs which is not a healthy over rate by any stretch of imagination. They would be looking to improve on that now with the spinners operating in tandem.

IND vs AFG Live Score: Afghanistan 79/3 in 18 overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Captain Shahidi on five runs off nine balls, Azmatullah Omarzai at the other end on two off four.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Rahmat Shah rapped on the pads, big appeal from the Indians and the umpire raises the finger. Rahmat Shah dismissed immediately after drinks once again, he had fallen like this against Bangladesh as well. He took a review and that holds up the umpire's call. Afghanistan keep the review but lose their other set batter as well.

Rahmat Shah lbw b Thakur 16 (22), Afghanistan 63/3 in 13.1 overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Afghanistan are 63/2 in 13 overs with drinks being taken. Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Garbaz put up a 32-run opening stand before the former fell to Jasprit Bumrah in the seventh over. Gurbaz then had a dangerous-looking 31-run stand with Rahmat Shah for the second wicket which came in just 37 balls. That ended with Gurbaz falling to Pandya thanks to a brilliant catch from Thakur at the boundary.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Pandya strikes and Rahmanullah Gurbaz has to say goodbye. Bouncer from Pandya that looks to pull over deep fine leg. Thakur is there, he takes the catch, then flicks it in the air as his momentum takes him over the boundary and then completes the catch strolling back in. Thakur made that look ridiculously easy. The umpires went upstairs and the replays only confirmed the brilliance of that catch.

Gurbaz c Thakur b Pandya 21 (28), Afghanistan 63/2 in 12.4 overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Of the 12 deliveries Shardul Thakur has bowled so far, 9 have been dot balls. The two he has pitched short have been put away with disdain. Here he drops another one and Rahman spanks it for a FOUR. Shardul bowls the perfect revenge ball – a bouncer but one that is signalled a wide. However, he does well to bowl a low full toss to limit the free hit to a single. Afghanistan 58/1 after 12 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Hardik Pandya is really bending his back. His speeds in that last over were 141, 139, 140, 140, 139, 141. How about that for some speed? This is proper pace-bowling, and it managed to keep the Afghanistan batters quiet in the last over with three singles. You can sense that he is really pushing for a wicket. 11 overs gone, Afghanistan 51/1

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: The fourth pace is now on for India, Shardul Thakur but after bowling tidy three bowls, sends down a short ball. Gurbaz rocked on to the backfoot and nailed a full-blooded pull shot over cow corner for a maximum. Five dots and a SIX! Afghanistan looking more confident with each over, now at 48/1 after 10 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: But he starts with a warm-up delivery as Rahmanullah Gurbaz picks up his third boundary. The India all-rounder gets his act together though, giving away just a single and a leg-bye to make it a 5-run over. Afghanistan 42/1 after 9. Not a bad start but India would have expected at least a couple more down in that wickets column.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: A brilliant over spoiled by a weak last ball. Siraj had Rahmat Gurbaz on his toes but bowled a hall-volley to gift the batter his first boundary. Outside off, in the zone and driven confidently. India won't mind that though. A wicket has just gone down and looking for that edge early on isn't that bad a thought.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: OUT! Edged and taken. Bumrah with the first strike for India. Afghanistan lose Ibrahim Zadran for 32 and their first wicket for 32. He was looking so good. Began the over by slashing Bumrah outside off for a boundary that beat a diving third-man fielder, but being the master of comebacks that he is, hits that perfect length with a hint of outswing. Ibrahim has to play at it but all he manages is a nick straight into the hands of KL Rahul.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Glorious cover drive from Ibrahim, just leans into that one and caresses it for four. Siraj has that expression on his face again – miffed with that effort. Three balls later, Ibrahim gets a four through the same area, but this time the stroke it a lot more authoritative. Bludgeoned it and the ball sped through the off-side for a FOUR. Afghanistan going strong at 28/0 after 6 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: How do you get him away? Jasprit Bumrah just keeps finding that perfect line and length. Not much movement but BOOM's accuracy is enough to stifle the Afghanistan openers on this batting belter. Just 1 off the over. His 3 overs have resulted in just 5 runs. TOP-NOTCH bowling this! Afghanistan 19/0 after 5 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Huge appeal from Siraj and the whole of Indian team goes up. Michael Gough doesn't agree and Rohit goes up for the DRS. Pitches in line, impact's in line, no nick, but the movement after pitching is just enough for the ball to miss leg-stump. CLOSE, but Afghanistan and Ibrahim survive. Afghanistan 18/0 after 4 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Siraj starts his second over by straying the ball on Ibrahim Zadran's pads. Swing or no swing. That is bread and butter for any top order batter. Zadran clips it off his legs to pick up his second boundary. Two balls later, Siraj pulls up his length but the line remains the same, allowing Ibrahim to flick for four again.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Hardik gave away a four in the previous over but makes up for that blip by saving a certain boundary. Zazai drilled the ball through the covers, a shot that had four written all over it but ends up being just a single as Pandya puts in a terrific drive. Just 3 off Bumrah's second; Afghanistan 9/0 after three overs

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Siraj starts with a couple of balls outside off stump. Adjusts the line slightly but the length was full, allowing Ibrahim Zadran to drive the ball down the wicket. Didn't have enough legs on it, and it looked like Hardik Pandya would stop it. But he puts in a dive unable to stop the ball. First boundary for Afghanistan as they reach 6/0 after 2 overs.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, World Cup 2023: Jasprit Bumrah once again with a neat and tidy first over. Just testing Rahmanullah Gurbaz in and around that off-stump line. Misses his line to give away a wide but responds straight away with a ball that shoots back in after pitching. Beautiful seam position. Gurbaz shoulders arms but the movement off the pitch makes the ball narrowly miss the stumps. Afghanistan 1/0 after the first over.
