    Afg 122-2

    The helicopter has landed in Sharjah. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has gone full MS Dhoni! What an outrageous shot.

  2. Afg 116-2

    Here's our friend in full Afghanistan body paint I mentioned earlier. I'm interested in the logistics. Who is he getting to paint his back? How easy is this to get off? Will he go to work tomorrow with a green arm?

    Let me know if you have experience of this.

    Four dots come in Watt's over before a poor ball is punished last up yet again.

    Afg 106-2

    Shot! Really good.

    Gurbaz slog sweeps Chris Greaves over the short boundary. Our friend in the body paint will be happy.

  6. Afg 98-2

    Scotland go up for a catch but it seems the ball has hit Rahmanullah Gurbaz on the body and looped all the way to backward point. I fancy that must have hurt because it went a long way.

    A good over for Scotland is spoiled by Zadran chopping away a four from the final ball.

  7. Not out

    Oooft! The throw is like a rocket, fired in right next to the stumps. The bails are whipped off but not before Najib Zadran has scrambled through the dirt full-length to make his ground.

    That was sensational.

  9. Henry Moeran

    What a throw from the deep! The dive was desperate...

  10. Umpire review

    Hello! A brilliant throw comes in from the deep and we're going up for a run-out.

  11. Afg 82-2

    After the players take a drink Najib Zadran blocks out his first ball.

    We're halfway through. Afghanistan may still fancy 180 with Mohammad Nabi to come.

    Stewart Buick: As it stands Scotland are going to have to bat like hell to get close to the Afghanistan score on the performances so far.

  13. That wicket will be a big relief for Scotland...

  14. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a tick in the box for players that like to keep it simple. At left-handers, who aren't your perfect match-up, you cramp him for room and make it difficut for him to get his hands through the ball. That's exactly what Watt did to Zazai.

    WICKET

    Zazai b Watt 44 (Afg 82-2)

    Zazai is out! That's a big wicket for Scotland because the Afghanistan opener had been heaping on the pain.

    It's fired in by spinner Mark Watt, Zazai jabbing down, and the ball might even have deflected off the back of the bat and onto the stumps.

  16. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Zazai knows his game and has played a lot of cricket in the UAE. He scores big runs by getting ahead in the powerplay. Once he gets hold of it, it goes miles.

  17. Afg 79-1

    Zazai 42, Gurbaz 10

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz has made a sticky start but now he gets the ball away to the fence with a pull off Davey,

    Davey ends the over by finding Zazai's top edge but, crucially, the ball drops short of a fielder.

  18. There hasn't been much for Scotland to celebrate so far...

  19. Afg 67-1

    Zazai 38, Gurbaz 3

    Hazratullah Zazai has a high score of 162 not out in T20 internationals. We shouldn't be surprised by this.

  20. This. Was. Massive.
