Fazalhaq Farooqi to Jos Buttler, FOUR! England and Jos Buttler are underway in fine fashion. A bit too full and a bit too straight as well. Buttler flicks it off the leg stump and gets it in front of the square on the leg side to collect a boundary.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Fazalhaq Farooqi does get the breakthrough for Afghanistan and he is all pumped up. This is very full and on leg stump, swinging into the toes. Jos Buttler falls over a bit as he looks to whip it away leg side. Buttler ends up just chipping it with the swing. The ball flies down towards deep mid-wicket where Mujeeb Ur Rahman takes a good catch running to his left. Buttler departs and Afghanistan now have an opening.

Fareed Ahmad to Alex Hales, OUT! TAKEN! Fareed Ahmad strikes and gets his first wicket! He bangs it in short delivery, on leg, Alex Hales goes for the pull shot but fails to transfer his weight on his back foot and also gets hurried with the extra bounce. As a result, he cannot get the right connection and hits it in the air towards deep square leg where Fazalhaq Farooqi settles under it and completes a nice catch. England lose their second wicket.

Mohammad Nabi to Ben Stokes, OUT! TIMBER! Straight through the gate! Ben Stokes looks to step down the track but Mohammad Nabi sees him coming. Nabi spears this one into middle stump at 104 clicks and Stokes just walks past the ball. The ball clips the pads and castles into the off pole. England lose their third wicket and Afghanistan are still handing on here. 48 needed now off 56 balls.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Liam Livingstone, FOUR! A real giveaway by Mujeeb and that will release all the pressure. Shorter and around the hips, Liam Livingstone just guides it fine and the ball runs away into the fine leg fence.

13.5
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Dawid Malan, OUT! TAKEN! My word, Mohammad Nabi has taken a blinder of a catch and Afghanistan pick up their fourth wicket. This is tossed up, around off, Dawid Malan sees and opportunity and goes for the booming drive. Malan connects it well but plays it uppishly. Nabi at short cover has almost no time to react but manages to go for it with both hands to his right and the ball just sticks. Malan goes after a slow knock and England have to re-build once again.

Rashid Khan to Harry Brook, OUT! TAKEN! Harry Brook tries to take on Rashid but holes out! Rashid Khan tosses it up, full and on leg, Harry Brook looks to heave it across the line but hits it with the toe end of his bat and it goes straight in the air and towards long on where Ibrahim Zadran takes a comfortable catch. England five down now!
