FOUR! A Shubman Gill special! Banged in short by Afridi, not high enough though to trouble the batter, on off, Gill stands tall and jabs it aerially but well over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Shaheen Afridi 15/1(3)
OUT! BOWLED'EM! Finally, Shaheen gets this one right and Rohit's nemesis comes back to haunt him! A proper inswinging toe-crushing yorker, tailing in late on middle and leg. Rohit Sharma is a bit late to jam his bat down in time and the ball just shoots towards the stumps in a blink. Rohit Sharma departs on 20 (15) and India are 31/1. Excellent pace variation from Shaheen, as he bowled a pace-off delivery in the last ball, but cannoned this one right through the gates.

FOUR! Not the best of shots from Rohit, but all he had to do was to clear that in-field! No swing whatsoever, a slower one, full and on off, Rohit Sharma is early to loft it over cover, but slices it over point for a boundary.
