Pradeep was the only change for Sri Lanka and he's bowled the perfect delivery. The coaching always says go back to your default mechanism, aim for the top of off, and it's created the goods.
Rashid b Pradeep 2 (Afg 123-7)
Only three wickets intact now as Pradeep rattles the timbers to claim his fourth wicket.

Hameed Qayoomi: Out of media box for a minute and in the stands. Afghan fans are living every minute of the play like they are on the field. Pure passion and emotion.
Target 187 (41)
This wasn't supposed to be a day-night match but it feels like one now, with the floodlights emblazoning the emerald turf. Only one from the Lakmal over and the final four wickets have to muster 64 from 90 balls.

The clouds are thick and gloomy, but there's a band of blue between the two banks of grey.
Target 187 (41)
Rashid Khan is the new man, with four ODIhalf centuries to his name and he is off the mark first ball with a single to keep the bowling.

DLS, at the end of this over, will be 127. It's got darker here too...
Gulbadin lbw b Pradeep 23 (Afg 121-6)
Umpire's call it is and a third wicket for Pradeep to end a partnership of 64.

Was that missing leg? I don't think so. From the naked eye, I felt that was sort of middle, leg stump.
The first review of the day. Gulbadin has been given lbw but it is heading down the leg side?

For the first time in this innings, Afghanistan are even with Duckworth-Lewis-Stern...
Target 187 (41)
Spin from the Cathedral End as Dhananjaya de Silva comes into the attack. The fifty stand is reached from 62 balls and Najibullah adds a welcome boundary with a sweetly struck reverse sweep.
Target 187 (41)
Pradeep from the River Taff end and he sends down two wides - taking the total to nine in the innings - but there are no runs from the bat and the requirement is 80 from 108 balls.

There are some very vocal Afghanistan supporters below us. A lot depends on these two.
Target 187 (41 overs)
Floodlights on now in addition to the watery evening sunshine as left-arm seamer Udana sends down a full toss which Gulbadin helps away for two more. Another productive over for Afghanistan as the partnership extends to 48.
The wicket of Nabi in the 14th over, but Afghanistan have recovered well since then.
Target 187
Hamid Hassan has eschewed the headband as he watches on anxiously from the balcony, he'll be hoping he is not needed at number 11. With the ground bathed in evening sunshine, Najibullah slices Lakmal to third man but it is hauled in and the scoring is limited to two.

Malinga has lost his pace a wee bit. If he's used again in the next over, he should stay over the wicket to the right-hander. It's close. You sense if his partnership can keep going for another 20 runs, then you'll think perhaps Sri Lanka will start to feel the pressure in the field a lot more.
As the players take a drink, let's have a look at the fourth Afghanistan wicket to fall as Hashmatullah joined Hazratullah in the pavilion.
