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

    Shaheen isn't bowling at his fastest, but his length is causing problems - he's hitting the splice of the bat hard.

  2. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Shaheen Afridi is bowling with some fire here.

  3. Afg 126-5

    Shaheen Afridi is back on and there's a huge appeal from him and Sarfaraz Ahmed first ball as they think they've got Mohammad Nabi caught behind first ball.

    They decide against the review - wisely it proves as the replay shows it just evaded the glove.

  4. I'm sorry Ilyas, but no.

    It's hard enough work for us to live text one T20 game, let alone two. Think of us.

    Ilyas Najib: Forget 40 overs, here’s a crazy invention which could work...a t20 test match! Played in day/night conditions, test match rules, two 20 over innings a team. Both bat an innings day & night and may the best team win!

  6. Afg 126-5

    Mohammad Nabi just takes a single off Shadab Khan's seventh over.

    Matthew: A month and a half's worth of cricket. Please don't speed it up. In fact, make it longer.

  8. Najibullah Zadran is the new batsman.

    Dan Norcross thinks Afghanistan have finally got their best two batters together at the crease.

    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    This is good again from Sarfaraz and Imad. They forced him to play that shot with the field they set.

    WICKET

    Ikram c Hafeez b Imad 24 (Afg 125-5)

    Awful, awful cricket.

    Ikram Ali Khil was clearly get frustrated, Afghanistan have moved from 100 to 125 all in singles. He'd tried to ramp Imad Wasim the previous ball but only succeeded in knocking it onto his shoulder.

    This time he takes a step down the track and goes ariel down the ground but it's straight down the throat of Mohammad Hafeez at long-on.

    He did not need to play that stroke!

  11. Amy Lofthouse
    BBC Sport at Headingley

    Sunshine, packed crowd, endless, eternal noise... this is more like it. Thanks for turning up for this World Cup, weather.

  12. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Test Match Special

    Pakistan see this period of play as a window of opportunity.

  13. Afg 122-4

    A very eventful first over for me with that wicket and the review!

  14. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    I thought he was dead the moment it hit the back leg, and that it was a really good call from Shadab.

  15. Not out

    Ooh, it's flicking the top of the stumps so it's umpires call and Ikram Ali Khil survives.

    Pakistan keep their review.

  16. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    It looks pretty decent that!

  17. There's no edge.

    It sneaked through bat and pad and hit him on the back leg.

  18. Pakistan review

    Shadab Khan is adamant he's got Ikram Ali Khil lbw.

    He's come a long way down.

  19. Ramiz Raja
    Ex-Pakistan captain on TMS

    I'm a big fan of Mohammad Nabi - he's a magician with the ball. He reminds me of John Emburey.

  20. Mohammad Nabi is the new batsman.
