Chasing 172, Gaikwad and du Plessis continued their good bonding between the sticks and stitched another superb partnership at the top.
Moeen Ali, at 3, played a 15-run cameo off 7 deliveries before skying one off Rashid. The Afghanistan spin maestro, in the successive delivery, sent a well-settled Faf du Plessis to spice up the match and completed his three-wicket haul.
Tremors felt far away
Both the main tremor and aftershocks were felt hundreds of kilometres away in the northern state of Bengal, as well as in Bhutan and Bangladesh.
