Alex Hales survives again!
It's the skipper, Mohammad Nabi, spilling one at long-on. Not the easiest, running to his right, but he got both hands to it. Should have been taken.

Target 113
Four off it, Khan spinning his web. If you haven't seen it yet, the reason England are chasing such a modest target is the five-wicket haul of Sam Curran...

Target 113
No prizes for guessing who comes on at the end of the powerplay. Rashid Khan, the magician, has the ball in his hand.

Target 113
Dawid Malan is the new man. Must be a nice time to arrive - solid start, no pressure. Mujeeb, the offie, is milked in the final over of the powerplay.

Buttler c Mujeeb b Fazal 18 (Eng 35-1)
The skipper goes and Afghanistan finally do have that breakthrough. More swing from Fazal, into the pads of Buttler, who clips aerially into the Perth night. Mujeeb-ur-Rehman is waiting at deep backward square to pouch the catch.

Belted straight at point, but bursting through the hands of the fielder. The sort of chance that has to be taken. Next ball, Hales belts Fazal over mid-on for four. Salt, meet wounds.

Target 113
The off-spin of Mujeeb-ur-Rehman is greeted by Jos Buttler chipping the ball over the covers off the back foot. Buttler is a bit too quick for Hales, wanting a third and having to be sent back. That's the closest thing England have had to an alarm.

Target 113
Swing for Fazal, hitting Hales on the pads, but it's heading well down the leg side.

Target 113
Sam Curran, owner of the first five-fer by an England man in T20s, is sitting next to Chris Woakes. Curran has his hair bleached, Woakes has a haircut you can set your watch to. Too wide from Fazal, allowing Buttler a slap for four.

Azmatullah Omarzai shares new-ball duties, shaping away from the right-handers. When he goes to full, Buttler eases through the covers for four.
