- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 goes to drive in to the covers and makes good contact. It was hit low and hard but too close to Fraser Watts who makes a great reaction catch down low to his right 3/118.1 good length ball which Noor Ali tries to work away to third man but McCallum's there at gully to take a great diving catch leaning forwards 57/44.1 goes to work to short ball in to the leg-side with the pull shot but it goes straight towards Matty Parker at fine leg who takes a good catch just inside the rope 7/216.4 cut away to point again but a great diving stop from Berrington. Shahzad had already set off for the run but Noor Ali stayed put at the other end. Berrington leapt to his feet and fired the ball to Lockhart who whipped off the bails 54/332.1 he goes reaching for the cut shot as the ball spins away and prods the ball in the air above Berrington at cover who jumped up to take a comfortable catch two handed above his head 98/532.4 bowled! Shapoor didn't know to go forwards or backwards to the shot and didn't offer a stroke. The ball spins in sharply and tickles the top of off-stump 98/637.2 goes down for the sweep and doesn't connect, the ball looks straight enough and the umpire raises the finger. Maybe a slight inside edge but Mohammad Nabi has been given his marching orders 109/740.4 Lyons fires in a quicker and flatter ball in to the feet of Shenwari, he gets down to block on the half volley but the ball just pops up back to Lyons for a simple caught and bowled 116/843.4 gone! Khaliq Dad tries to make room to cut the ball away but can only manage to chop the ball on to his own stumps off the bottom edge of the bat 125/947.1 hits him hard on the pads and it was straight enough, a big appeal went up and Bagh raises the finger once more. Hassan didn't look too happy as he glanced back at the stumps but that's out 141/10Extras9 (b 1, lb 3, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL141 all out (47.1 Overs, RR: 2.98)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Karim Sadiq, 2.2 ov), 2-7 (Javed Ahmadi, 4.1 ov), 3-54 (Mohammad Shahzad, 16.4 ov), 4-57 (Noor Ali Zadran, 18.1 ov), 5-98 (Asghar Afghan, 32.1 ov), 6-98 (Shapoor Zadran, 32.4 ov), 7-109 (Mohammad Nabi, 37.2 ov), 8-116 (Samiullah Shinwari, 40.4 ov), 9-125 (Khaliq Dad, 43.4 ov), 10-141 (Hamid Hassan, 47.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR34.3 Watts look to cut the ball away but the ball bounced up on him. He only managed to spoon to ball up towards cover and Asghar took an easy catch 112/53 bowled on a slightly shorter length and Hairs cuts the ball away, but straight to Asghar Stanikzai at extra cover. He hit the ball hard but Asghar held on to the catch 5/19.4 Hussain gets well forward again but the balls a little quicker and doesn't turn on to the bat as he looks to go in to the leg-side. He's off balance too and miles out of his crease as Shahzad removes the bails for the stumping 40/218.2 pulls away the shorter ball but there's a sweeper out there and Javed Ahmadi is underneath the ball to take a decent catch in the deep 66/331.4 shuffles down the track to get to the pitch of the ball, but he can't get bat or pad on it and he's stumped 105/441.3 the ball straightens up and Lockhart misses with the leg side shot. A big appeal and the umpire raises the finger 134/642.2 shorter ball and Parker doesn't commit to the shot, popping the ball up in the air short of Mangal in the covers who takes the catch diving forward 135/743.3 oh my days! Drummond looks to go over the top to win the game and gets a thin edge through to the keeper.
