Asghar Stanikzai and Najibullah Zadran are dismissed for 20 off 43 balls and four off three respectively as he is caught at mid-on by Mohammed Shami off the bowling of Mohit Sharma. Stanikzai had gotten a good start but he failed to capitalise on his start and in pursuit of some quick runs went for the big shot but the ball ended up into the hands of Shami, who had dropped a sitter earlier. Zadran was looking to give Ashwin the charge, but he was well out of his crease and was dismissed after he scored a boundary off the first ball. Catch Live Blog of the warm-up match here

India have been poor on the field as they have dropped a couple of sitters. Catch the Live Cricket Scorecard here
