India Legends vs World Legends 11 LIVE: Indian legends lose by 73 runs— Live Scores, Updates, Blog
India's spinners produce chances
Narendra Hirwani, with some extremely loopy leg spin, now into the attack. The first over which produces no boundaries. Just 7 runs off his over.
Ajay Sharma, who bowls left arm spin in the 7th over, played 1 Test and 31 ODIs for India. Even though he scored more than 10,000 first-class runs at an astonishing average of 67.46, he only represented India in a single Test. A simple catch is dropped in the deep to give Afghan a reprieve.
World Legends 80/2 after 7
CSK man Imtiyaz Ahmed (2/15) wrecks World Legends
Imtiyaz returns after his first over success. Afghan does not look impressed with his short balls. Dilshan gets a sweet connection to go for six, but it's Imtiyaz, the former CSK and Uttar Pradesh bowler, who has the last laugh. Dilshan is bowled through the gate. Gone for 18.
Hamilton Masakadza joins Afghan.
World Legends 67/2 after 5
Nayan Mongia spills a catch
Jai Prakash Yadav, one of the few in this team who made his India debut after Azharuddin's exit from international cricket, bowls the 4th over. Dilshan slashes past point for four. JP Yadav then surprises Afghan with a bouncer and he edges through. But Nayan Mongia misses the catch! And has a sheepish smile after it.
