0.1 to Irfan Ahmed, he is gone first-ball again! Wonderful delivery first up but an atrocious shot! It's full and fast and straight and Irfan plays a limp drive. He plays down the wrong line and the ball flicks the off stump en route to the keeper. The bail on the other side comes off. What a start for Afghanistan!. 0/1
19.2 to Tanwir Afzal, good running catch at wide long on by Naib! Tanwir aimed to go over the boundary with a cross-batted swipe but didn't get the distance he would have liked. Naib runs to his right from long on to take it comfortably in the end. 147/8

4.4 to JJ Atkinson, that is the end of a wonderful short innings from Atkinson! This was tossed up, it drifted in and went straight with the arm to strike the batsman on the front pad. Atkinson was playing for the turn and pushes outside the line. The umpire waits for a bit but rightly raises his finger. That would have gone to hit middle and leg. 42/2
17.3 to Nizakat Khan, flatter delivery, Nizakat tries the repeat of the previous shot, but he doesn't get any elevation this time. it's hit straight to the extra cover fielder. 127/6

16.2 to MS Chapman, he has given it away! Chapman moves across to the off side to flick this one fine on the leg side, misses and looses his leg stump. That was a little too quick for him..141.5 kph. 117/5

13.3 to Waqas Barkat, oh no, he was playing that chip shot so well and he chooses to play a scoop instead! This is exactly like Misbah getting out in the World T20 final in 2007! An easy catch for short fine leg fielder. 102/3
15.3 to Babar Hayat, well, he has the memory of that previous shot at least! He sweeps this one, but gets a thick top edge that is easily taken at deep square leg. 115/4

2.4 to Najeeb Tarakai, oh no, he has perished at deep midwicket! Nadeem takes a wonderful catch right at the edge of the boundary. He was running towards the deep square leg area and controls it nicely. Tarakzai was drawn into a pull, but he couldn't get the distance he would have liked. 14/1

15.3 to Mohammad Shahzad, oh what a stunner! Magnifico! After all those drops, you don't expect these, but Irfan Ahmed takes a screamer to send Shahzad back. It was a slower delivery that the batsman punched over extra cover with wonderful timing - it looked set to make it to the boundary, but Irfan Ahmed dives forward to pluck it just above the grass. Call it my poor judgment but i was expecting that to be dropped as well. 116/3

10.2 to Asghar Afghan, he has perished this time! Stanikzai stays on the back foot and looks to flat-bat this short delivery over the wide long on boundary, but the fielder does well to nicely get under it and complete a good catch. Hong Kong break a threatening stand.. 69/2
