Earlier, India also suffered a minor scare when pacer Mohammed Shami had to go out of the field for about 20 minutes for treatment, apparently for a shin issue. But he returned to the field and bowled after the 11th over.

Skipper Rohit Sharma too stayed away from the field for some time after feeling uncomfortable in Dubai heat. However, Rohit too returned to the field.
