CRICKET – India declared their first innings on 564 for eight before debutant Manav Suthar and Prasidh Krishna took five wickets between them to maintain the hosts’ stranglehold on the one-off Test against Afghanistan yesterday.
Faced with a daunting chase, Afghanistan lost wickets at steady intervals in a feeble reply to finish day two on 113-5 and trailing by 451 runs at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.
Rahmat Shah was batting on 43 at stumps with Afghanistan needing a special knock from him today.
Suthar claimed the wicket of opener Abdul Malik with just his fourth ball in Test cricket.
