    This is running away from Afghanistan now - a number of mistakes are creeping in.

  2. Pak 42-1

    Target 228

    Oh dear. Asghar Aghan with a shambles of a job at mid on, it's straight at him and he somehow lets the ball go through him and it goes for four to add insult.

    Ground, swallow me up.

  3. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indian commentator on TMS

    That is going to increase the feeling that this game is drifting away from Afghanistan already.

  4. Pak 38-1

    Streaky again, Imam this time edging a Gulbadin ball away for four to the delight of the fans and the frustration of the bowler.

    Porschehead: Is it just me or is anyone else fed up with boring spinners strangling the games and batsmen only able to punch dolly singles. People pay a lot of money to see boundaries, preferably sixes. If you want classical cricket, go to a five-day Test match.

    Your keeper needs to calm that down. He should know more times than not if it's hit them in line.

  7. Both teams have burned a review inside seven overs. Thanks for coming Christopher Gaffaney, you may as well get in the Taps mate.

  8. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indian commentator on TMS

    That's where as a captain you've got to have some sort of protocol. You can't let the bowler influence your decision.

  9. That was a terrible review to be honest. A few verbals from Rashid Khan to Babar too?!

  10. MILES outside the line.

  11. It hits pad first.

  12. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indian commentator on TMS

    My initial reaction is that it hit him outside the line.

  13. Afghanistan review

    And they're reviewing that...

  14. Pak 32-1

    Target 228

    Mujeeb bowling well again, no room for the batsmen to work anything away. He's so quick between balls as well.

    That's a maiden, a half appeal on the last ball as it hits bat and pad..

  15. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Afghanistan will want to leave this tournament with some positives to take forward.

  16. Fazeer Mohammed
    West Indian commentator on TMS

    You hope that even if Afghanistan lose this game that they take something from what has been a reasonably good performance.

  17. Pak 32-1

    Babar 20, Imam 12

    Hamid Hassan's hamstring may well be twanged as captain Gulbadin brings himself on. Lively fielding in the circle from Rashid Khan saves runs, vital when defending such a modest target. Applause all round.

    Babar looks like a man a few days out from a classic hundred. He's just timing the ball so cleanly.

  18. Fakhar falls lbw on the second ball

    Three of Fakhar's last four ODI dismissals have come against spin.

  19. Catch that!

    Ben Stokes thought he had catch of the tournament sewn up.

    And then Martin Guptill did this...
