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
As I've just spoke about the remaining overs, Fazalhaq Farooqi is sat in the Afghanistan dugout.
He looks to be struggling with some sort of injury. That could be big...
They have actually returned to the pace of Azmatullah Omarzai now.

Afghanistan are going to have to hope that their spinners will do the job.
Need 123 from 96 balls
Six from Rashid Khan's over.
Out of the three spinners that have bowled so far - Rashid, Mohammad Nabi and Noor Ahmad - they have seven overs left.
That means nine overs will have to come from the seamers. Will that play into England's hands?
Rashid Khan is going to come back into the attack after the drinks break.
He's got figures of 1-41 from his first six overs.

Champions Trophy: England's Harry Brook chips ball straight to bowler
It's finely poised. The last wicket of Harry Brook was a momentum killer because he was ticking along quite nicely. Joe Root has been mirroring what Ibrahim Zadran did in the first innings.
This partnership is massive from an England point of view.
Shall we do another thumbs up and down vote?
Will England win? They need 129 runs from 102 balls.
Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
England just need to be in touch. There's plenty of people who are capable of coming on in the last 10 overs who can hit big but they've got to bring the score up first.
Root 74, Buttler 30
Jos Buttler and Joe Root have put on 64 from 68 balls for the fifth wicket. They are putting England in a decent position, but at least one of them, if not both, need to go on.
It's time for a drink.

If there was ever a time for the 'old' Jos Buttler to stand up and perform, it's right now. C'mon Jos, you can do it!
Ruth
Target 326
Another nine from this over.
England have pushed the required run-rate back down to 7.55.
This is much more like the Jos Buttler we know.
One step and a slog sweep over square leg for six more.
That's two sixes now. He's up to 25 off 27 balls.
Here is the lbw review that Jos Buttler survived against Mohammad Nabi a few overs ago.
The turning point?

Australia needed 155 from the last 20 overs on Saturday.
England needed 154.
Both had six wickets left.
Need 145 from 114 balls
Good over from England with nine coming off it.
A reminder that Afghanistan added 113 in the final 10 overs. England shouldn't need anywhere near that many...
That Buttler six added 3% to England's WinViz. Small wins...

Joe Root rocks onto the back foot and crunches a cut to the cover ropes for four.

Up until then, Jos Buttler was scratching around and missing balls he doesn't normally miss. This time he's come down the pitch and timed it perfectly.
That might just ignite him.
Target 326
Here we go.
Jos Buttler takes two steps down the pitch and flicks Mohammad Nabi over the mid-wicket ropes.
It is the first boundary since the final ball of the 21st over.
It's on guys...
Champions Trophy: England's Jos Buttler hits a slog sweep over square leg for six
Target 326
How's that not hit the stumps!?!
Jos Buttler is beaten in the air by Noor Ahmad as he looks to drive away.
It just slopes past off stump and hits the left leg of Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
Another close call for the England captain.
