Volkswacht Bodensee - Suthar takes six wickets on debut as India make Afghanistan follow on

Starting the day on 113-5 in response to India's first-innings 564-8 declared, Afghanistan resisted through Rahmat Shah's 60 before they folded late on in the first session in New Chandigarh.

Afghanistan were 18-0 in their second innings at lunch, trailing India by 394 runs.

Sediqullah Atal, on 16, and Abdul Malik, on two, were batting.

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna struck first in the morning as he bowled Azmatullah Omarzai for a duck after the batsman inside-edged the ball on to his stumps.

Rahmat then put on a stubborn stand of 24 with Sharafuddin Ashraf, who made 11, to frustrate the Indian bowlers in the first hour of play.

Rahmat raised his sixth Test half-century with a four.

Suthar, 23, a left-arm spinner who impressed on Sunday with three wickets, broke the stand after he had Ashraf trapped lbw.

Suthar then bowled Rahmat for his five-wicket haul, and three balls later he trapped Mohammad Saleem lbw for a duck.

He had figures of 6-33 and is only the fifth Indian and first since veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in 2011 to take a six-wicket haul on Test debut.

Washington Sundar wrapped up the innings after he sent back number 11 Ziaur Rahman for six in an innings that lasted 58.4 overs.
