  1. Muhammad Rizwan crunched away one sweep shot to get off the mark, but his next attempt got him in trouble.

  2. Carlos Brathwaite

    It makes sense for Noor Ahmad to be the attacking bowler, with Mohammad Nabi coming on and being disciplined at the other end.

    Rashid Khan is then held back for the remaining right-handers.

  3. Pak 128-3

    Interestingly it is just one over for Rashid Khan before he is hooked for Mohammad Nabi.

    Tidy from Nabi though, with just two singles off the over.

    Babar is going into his shell a little. He's on 38 off 49 balls though.

    Left-arm wrist spin is the witchcraft of cricket. It can perplex teams when they haven't come up against it recently, especially when it is turning. And it is turning for Noor Ahmad.

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

    Pakistan have no idea what's happening from Noor Ahmad's end.

  6. Pak 126-3

    Noor Ahmad is appealing again. He hurries Babar Azam and cramps the Pakistan captain too as he looks to cut away.

    It is almost certainly too high, and he might have hit it too.

    Hashmatullah Shahidi wisely doesn't even entertain the review this time.

    Sometimes as a batting side you lose a few quick wickets and go back into your shell. But you need to punish the bad balls to put the pressure back on the bowlers.

  8. Pak 124-3

    A watchful over from Pakistan, taking just four from Rashid Khan.

    Pakistan are going to have to rebuild for a period now, but when are they going to put their foot down again?

    Their middle and lower order haven't quite fired in this tournament yet.

    You always know Afghanistan smell blood when they bring Rashid Khan straight back on.

  10. Gamble time.

    Afghanistan are seeking an opening here and they've returned to Rashid Khan.

  11. Here's how Noor Ahmad picked up the wicket of Abdullah Shafique.

  12. Pak 120-3

    More excitement from the final delivery as Saud Shakeel is hit on the thigh pad.

    Noor Ahmad is asking plenty of questions here.

  13. Not out

    Yep, not out.

    Saud Shakeel has got himself outside the line and survives.

  14. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's a more enthusiastic question posed to the umpire who says no deal. They take it upstairs.

  15. There's no bat, and it's hit the back leg, but the impact doesn't look right here.

  16. Afghanistan review

    Is it two in two balls?

    Noor Ahmad has hit new batter Saud Shakeel on the pad and goes running away in appeal.

    He was really keen. Is the impact in line?

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

    If you don't know which way it is turning, go to the sweep. Noor Ahmed has bowled so cleverly. Rizwan is almost dragging that from fifth or sixth stump and that creates the top edge.

  18. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    The 18-year-old Noor Ahmed now has two wickets. A big top edge.

    WICKET

    Rizwan c Mujeeb b Noor 8 (Pak 120-3)

    He won't be adding any more runs today.

    Muhammad Rizwan looks to sweep again, but this time the ball is turning away from him and he's not in control of the shot.

    It results in a top-edge and it loops to Mujeeb Ur Rahman at short fine leg. He's dropped chances there in this World Cup but holds onto this one.

    Noor Ahmad, who came into the side today, has two wickets in two overs.

  20. How's stat?!

    Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    That six from Muhammad Rizwan takes him to 300 runs in this World Cup. Last night, Virat Kohli overtook him and is now the leading run-scorer on 354.
