Afghanistan skittled out for 109, India enforce follow-on at tea on Day 2

India predictably exposed the serious limitations in Afghanistan's batting with the visitors being skittled out for a paltry 109 in 27.5 overs at tea on the second day as the historic one-off Test match looked poised for an early finish.

With a huge lead of 365 runs, Indian captain Ajinkya Rahane had no hesitation in enforcing follow-on.

This was after Hardik Pandya's 71 ensured an impressive first innings total of 474 for the home team.

Batting was always going to be Afghanistan's Achilles heel' as the inexperienced line-up simply didn't have the technique or the temperament to face quality swing and seam bowling from Ishant Sharma (2/28 in 5 overs) and Umesh Yadav (1/18 in 6 overs).

Every batsman seemed to be on a limited overs mode without any respect for an aspect called patience which is an integral component of Test cricket. The result was an entire innings was over within one session with only Mohamed Nabi (24) crossing the 20-run mark.

Once the top-order was blown away, Ravichandran Ashwin (4/27 in 8 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (2/18 in 3.5 overs) made short work of the middle and lower-order as the second day turned into a totally one-sided contest.
