England eliminated from Champions Trophy after loss - report
Root hits sublime 120 but falls with 39 still needed
Afghanistan recover from 140-4 to post 325-7
Ibrahim's 177 off 146 balls is highest ever score in Champions Trophy

Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This is a very dangerous partnership. Azmatullah Omarzai has been excellent and Ibrahim Zadran has been there since the start.
Absolutely critical period.
Ibrahim 107, Azmatullah 39
The pressure is all on England at the moment.
Mark Wood is going through the variations but whatever he tries Afghanistan are combatting.
Ibrahim Zadran picks up another boundary with a glorious drive through the covers.
18 from Wood's latest over.

They scramble a leg bye but Azmatullah needs some treatment. It looks like the side of his foot.

This is a dangerous period for England, impressive from Afghanistan.
They will be even more excited now.
Shorter from Mark Wood and Azmatullah Omarzai smacks it back down the ground for six more.

The Afghanistan fans in front of me are starting to get rather excited.
Mark Wood continues for a third over in this spell.
His first ball is swotted over extra over by Azmatullah Omarzai for four more.
It all of a sudden feels like 300 is on for Afghanistan.
Image source, Getty ImagesOh shot.
Afghanistan are starting to go through the gears a little.
It's full from Liam Livingstone and Azmatullah Omarzai plants him back over his head for six more.

Ibrahim Zadran started off slow but he's controlled it and stayed in the game. That's a quality innings, how many more is he going to score?

Image source, Getty ImagesThat's a fine innings from Ibrahim Zadran but he's still got a lot of work to do.
Afg 183-4
A very good innings from the Afghanistan opener.
He brings up the landmark off 106 balls with six fours and three sixes.
It is his sixth ODI century.

Max Headrom: Can easily see Afghanistan scoring 270+ and Rashid Khan helping get England out for sub-250.
Mark Wood is still up at 92mph so he is giving it absolutely everything.
He's slow going back to his mark though. That is something for England to think about because they could end up running out of time to bowl their overs and more boundary riders will have to come within the 30-yard circle towards the end of the innings.
With Adil Rashid, Joe Root and Liam Livingstone bowling though there is a decent chunk of spin.

Mark Wood is continuing for now.

England's fifth bowler and beyond have averaged 51.8 runs per wicket in ODIs since the start of 2024 and have gone at 6.6 runs per over. Both their average and economy are the worst among all teams participating in this Champions Trophy. England need Mark Wood to get his overs in today because even though they have bowling options to cover, they haven't been effective.
Five singles from Liam Livingstone's over. England will take that.
A double change for England as Liam Livingstone replaces Jofra Archer.
Archer has a couple of overs left for the death.

This isn't the bouncy, smiley, effervescent Mark Wood that we know.
Oh! Almost for Mark Wood and England. Ibrahim Zadran slices a drive and it is just past Ben Duckett at backward point.
Wood fell over in his follow through after that delivery too. That's not uncommon of course for Wood, but it will hardly be helping the left knee injury.
Wood gets through the over and concedes just two runs. He is struggling significantly so it will be interesting to see how far he and Jos Buttler push it.
