Scotland 125 and 144 for 9 (Dawlatzai 5-37) trail Afghanistan 275 by six runs
Scorecard
Scotland ended day two battling to avoid an innings defeat after a second slump with the bat against Izatullah Dawlatzai. He added a second five-wicket haul to take Afghanistan to the verge of victory with Scotland still six runs away from forcing a fourth innings.
Dawlatzai added 5 for 37 to his first-innings 6 for 57 to send Scotland spiralling towards defeat. His wicket of Kyle Coetzer late in the day raised the possibility of a two-day finish. Coetzer was the only batsman in the top order to have any kind of an innings but his half-century was a lone hand in a miserable batting display that saw Scotland 27 for 4 against the new ball.
There was, at least, some response as wicketkeeper David Murphy survived 59 balls for 23 but his dismissal brought four wickets for just 14 runs - one them Coetzer - and it was left to Gordon Drummond and Safyaan Sharif to scrap Scotland into a third day.

ICC u should notice and back the afghan team financialy, scotland and netherland are rich countries they can afford by thier governement also but afghanistan is the country which depended on ICC to help and devolpe, we hope afghanistan will also get fund after this kind of performance
Congrats to afghans and Afghanistan ... I would also say part of this win, at least 50% of the credit also go to weak performance of Scots... Afghan if want to prove international test standards needs to continue their hard work and perform much better and consistently, The progress of Irland cricket is a great example they need to follow ... However good win ... Thanks to our players and keep it up

Posted by Hagi on (March 14, 2013, 3:44 GMT)Great Professional Job done by Afghanistan. I think we should give credit to our coach KABIR KHAN. He has played an important role in bringing Afghanistan at this level. We salute you SIR KABIR KHAN.....
