Better from seamer Sharif. His slower ball is not timed.

Nabi climbs into a surprise bouncer. A desperate dive on the boundary edge comes in vain.

No big shot this time. Only a single for Najibullah Zadran.

Zadran is eyeing another of these...
Afg 178-3published at 19.1 overs
Sharif will bowl the final over. His first ball is a full toss which he gets away with.
Nabi dropped on 4published at 19 overs
It's very harsh calling this a drop. Berrington only got his fingertips to it. He saved two runs.
Afg 174-3published at 18.5 overs
Whack! Mohammad Nabi creams his first ball like Bryson Dechambeau on the first tee. Four runs.

BBC Test Match SpecialNajibullah Zadran's innings could prove to be the difference between the two sides.

On we go after the wicket.
Najibullah Zadran reaches his fifty from 30 balls.

Things don't get any easier for Scotland. Mohammad Nabi is the new batter

Gurbaz c Coetzer b Davey 46 (Afg 169-3)
Good timing. Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes again but for the first time all night he fails to time it. The ball is just chipped off the toe for the easiest of catches.
Afg 169-2published at 18.2 overs
Afghanistan are going to pass my earlier prediction of 175 with ease.
Afg 166-2published at 18 overs
It may not be nice if you're watching this in Oban or Inverness but this Afghanistan innings has been a lot of fun.
Watt's over ends with another six, Zadran lofting the spinner over extra cover.

For once, I have got one right. The ball tracking has it missing leg by a few inches.
Scotland reviewpublished at 17.3 overs
Scotland have called for their first review.
I thought it was going to miss Gurbaz's leg stump but Mark Watt fancies it.

With wickets in hand Afghanistan could score anywhere between 180 and 200 now. Big innings coming up for the Scotland batsmen.
