    It's been a very good opening seven overs, entertaining from both sides.

  3. Afg 28-1

    Sediq Atal defends and leaves during a testing over from Marco Jansen. A maiden from the South Africa left-arm quick.

  4. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I don't know why players don't want to play ODIs. You can bowl the length of a Test match and not get punished like you would in T20. Modern-day players see it as too much of a chore.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We're seeing the ball start to move a bit, something we didn't see when the ball was in Afghanistan's hands.

  6. Afg 28-1

    Marco Jansen whistles one past the edge of Sediq Atal's defensive prod. Ryan Rickelton tosses the ball in the air. More in celebration of a fine delivery, rather than thinking there was a genuine edge.

    Lovely shot. Not much wrong with it, just outside off stump. It sounded a little bit woody as it came off the bat but he was totally under control.

  8. Afg 28-1

    Top-notch shot from Ibrahim Zadran as he rides the bounce from Lungi Ngidi and smears a confident drive through point for four.

    Ngidi responds with four dots.

    That's why Sediq left those four balls, he's just getting used to it. I love the patience that he's showing, very old school just waiting for a bad ball.

    Lovely little short-arm jab there from Sediq.

  11. Afg 23-1

    Ah, Clayton Lambert. He actually played in the Champions Trophy aged 42 for USA.

    Meanwhile, left-hander Sediq Atal has just slapped Marco Jansen through mid-wicket for four. Jansen responds with a bumper at the end of the over which he fends off..

    That wicket has just deflated Afghanistan because of who it is.

  14. Afg 17-1

    You sense if Afghanistan were going to chase down this total they needed a good knock from Rahmanullah Gurbaz. That's a huge setback.

  15. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz has to go. He was looking to be attacking but Ngidi gave him no room to manoeuvre.

    Maharaj has done well to get under that.

    It was a short ball at the body and he just cloths it to short fine leg. Gurbaz is furious with himself because he knows he could have hit it better.

    Frustrating.

    WICKET

    Gurbaz c Maharaj b Ngidi 10 (Afg 16-0)

    One of Afghanistan's dangermen is back in the hutch after Rahmanullah Gurbaz is bounced out.

    Lungi Ngidi bangs it in short and Gurbaz is unable to make clean contact with a hook shot and ends up hitting it off the shoulder of the bat and tamely into the hands of Keshav Maharaj at a short fine leg.

    Gurbaz thumps the ground in frustration with his bat as he walks to the boundary.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Afghanistan are scoring off so many deliveries. We're only three overs in but they're rotating the strike well so far.

    They're not scoring at six an over but they're staying in the game.

  19. Afg 12-0

    Ibrahim Zadran gets away with one during Marco Jansen's second over.

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz nurdles to mid-wicket, sets off for a single, but a good piece of fielding from Tony De Zorzi almost runs out Ibrahim at the striker's end.

  20. Afg 9-0

    Good intent from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran with their running between the wickets. There's some belief in the Afghanistan camp they can chase this total down.
