[WICKET] 4.2 Overs, IND 7/1,

Cut the highest point of off stump! Arrived finally, on off stump, and Rohit pushed forward to safeguard the ball that floated in. Be that as it may, the ball fussed the deck, Rohit turned over, and it's through his resistance! What a lovely sight for Afghanistan fans. An uncommon disappointment for Rohit

India won the hurl and batted first against Afghanistan at Southampton.

"It would appear that a decent, hard wicket," said Virat Kohli. "One constrained change, Shami in for Bhuvi. The rest is same. Vijay Shankar brings a great deal of parity, in the field he's in the same class as anybody on the planet. There's a motivation behind why he's in our squad. Regardless of whether we are playing a group that is solid or the group that is getting through the positions, our attitude is the equivalent. We don't trifle with Afghanistan, they are a hazardous side when they are on the depression."

"Great pitch so needed to bat myself as well. In any case, it's a taxing day. Hazratullah and Aftab are in, Noor Ali Zadran and Dawlat Zadran are not playing. It was great we batted each of the 50 overs a few days ago." said Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib.
