Oh no, Dhawan, wat is u doing? This wasn't how it was supposed to go for Afghanistan.



He's just become the sixth player to get a hundred before lunch on the first day! It's also the third time Dhawan has scored 100+ runs in a session. Only Bradman (6) has done it more times; Trumper and Hammond did it thrice too.



A flawless innings apart from the caught-behind reprieve early on. And a real dampener on Afghanistan's big day. Vijay has been nervous at the other end, but the fact that he's made it to an unbeaten 41 paints the picture - Afghanistan are experiencing stage fright. How do you recover from this?



Before walking off for lunch, Asghar Stanikzai calls his team into a huddle. This hasn't been the first session they wanted or anybody - apart from Shikhar Dhawan - wanted so an honest chat is in order. Stanikzai speaks, Nabi speaks, Shahzad speaks. A nice little touch in the end. Reassure yourself it is okay to have a bad session. It is important to come back well, to not give up the ghost. You haven't come this far without learning a few harsh lessons along the way. Learn more. You will be all right
