Ryan Burl to Hashmatullah Shahidi, FOUR! SCORES LEVEL! Shahidi brings out the slog sweep, it is with the turn. He drags it from outside off and over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary.

Ryan Burl to Rahmat Shah, OUT! TIMBER! Six and out for Shah! Burl gets another wicket! Shorter and on middle, this one stays low as it skids on off the surface. Shah looks to whip it on the leg side by going on the back foot but misses and the stumps are shattered. You cannot do that on a Day 5 pitch.

Ryan Burl to Rahmat Shah, SIX! Finally some sign on intent! Shah comes down the track, he does not get to the pitch of it but still hits it over the long off fence for a biggie. Just 7 runs away now.

Blessing Muzarabani to Shahidullah Kamal, OUT! Laughter all around, this is a very funny dismissal. Blessing gets some blessings of God! Shahidullah walks off with a smile because that is all he can do now. He has fallen in such an unfortunate manner. Muzarabani does not care though as he strikes in the first over of his new spell. This is a slower short ball. Kamal looks to pull but is a touch early into the shot. It goes uppishly to short leg where Kevin Kasuza takes his head down but the ball hits his palms, bounces up and then he catches it. Even he didn't know that the ball will get planted into his hands as he was taking evasive action.

Ryan Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, OUT! TAKEN! Something to smile about for Burl! He has had a poor Test match but this would make him happy, just a little though. It is tossed up, enticing the batter to go for a biggie. Zadran looks to go downtown but ends up slicing it towards mid off. Musakanda takes a good catch moving backwards. A very well-judged catch. 19 needed more.

Sean Williams to Rahmat Shah, FOUR! Another cut shot and another boundary! Third in the over and the runs needed below 30. Shortish and outside off, Shah waits for it and then slaps it through point. It races away.

Donald Tiripano to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! In the gap! Nicely played! Shorter and on the body, Zadran gets on top of the bounce and pulls it through backward square leg. 41 needed more!

Sean Williams to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Lovely stroke! Made good use of his feet, gets to the pitch of the delivery and then goes with the angle. Lofts it over mid on for a boundary. The 50-run stand is up!

Victor Nyauchi to Rahmat Shah, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries for Rahmat Shah and he is suddenly motoring. 60 needed more. Fuller length ball on middle, Shah flicks it nicely off his pads and beats the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary.

Victor Nyauchi to Rahmat Shah, FOUR! Yet another boundary from the bat of Rahmat! Full in length again but the line is down the leg side, Shah picks it off his pads, deliberately keeps it aerial to play it over square leg for a boundary. Lovely balance and execution.

Victor Nyauchi to Rahmat Shah, FOUR! Lovely extension of the arms! Fuller in length and outside off, Rahmat plants his front foot forward and lifts it cleanly over mid off for a beautiful boundary. 68 needed more!

Victor Nyauchi to Rahmat Shah, EDGY FOUR! Afghanistan won't mind how they come as long as they do. Length and around off, Shah looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge down to the third man fence.

Blessing Muzarabani to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Gorgeous shot! Blessing switches to 'round the wicket and serves a fuller length ball on middle, Zadran presents the full face of his bat and eases a drive from the middle of his bat. Timed well and it races away to the fence down the ground. 83 needed more!

Blessing Muzarabani to Rahmat Shah, FOUR! Blessing decides to dig in another short delivery, the line is on middle and leg, this time Rahmat Shah pulls and does so fine to fetch a boundary at fine leg.

Blessing Muzarabani to Javed Ahmadi, OUT! DRAGS IT ON! Ahmadi walks back for another low score and Zimbabwe get an early wicket. Just what they wanted. This is shorter and outside off, this one stays low. Ahmadi slashes at it. It hits the inside edge and goes onto the stumps. Early success for Zimbabwe but they need to keep chipping away at the wickets to stand any chance.

Blessing Muzarabani to Javed Ahmadi, FOUR! Afghanistan are underway in style! Shorter and outside off, asking to be hit. Javed cuts it through point and it races away to the fence.
