17.4 to Q Sampson, Another wicket gone! Lands it outside off, slows it down. He swipes at it from way outside his hitting arc into the legside, but only gets it as far as deep midwicket. 122/6 19.4 to MW Forde, The Forde cameo's over! Gulbadin runs back to collect it near the deep fine leg boundary. Forde went way into the off side to try and scoop it over the keeper's head. Bowler does very well to follow him and lands it right in front of his pads, way outside the wide crease - which is taken outside the equation anyway when the batter moves this much. Forde goes through with the shot but can only get an edge off it. 147/7 | ||||||||||

4.1 to J Charles, Charles exposes his stumps and offers a free pathway for Shahidullah to rattle the furniture. Slides into off and middle, Charles backs away, aims to crash it through the off side. But can't touch this. Shahidullah strikes with his first ball. 27/1 | ||||||||||

15.1 to BA King, Oh well, he falls short of that fifty! Pitched full and on leg side. But the ball was shot into his pads and did not give King the space to get under the ball as he tried to hit across the line. Deep midwicket pounces the ball. Rashid Khan gives him a feisty send-off: he did not enjoy the prospect of being hit, and he lets it be known. 102/4 15.5 to SO Hetmyer, Woah woah woah! Bowled him behind his pads. Rashid might not have a magician's hat on tonight but he's certainly got one's wrists. Pitches it short of a length, drifts back into him. Hetmyer moves too deep into the off side looking to flick it to the leg side. He turns back to see his stumps rattled instead. 103/5 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 30 | 2 | 7.50 | 12 | 0 | 0 | |||
9.3 to KU Carty, Ahmadzai bounces Carty out! On-pace bouncer outside off, rushes Carty for pace and bounce and messes with his hook. He can only mis-hit it to Sharifi at deep midwicket. Carty departs for 10 off 19 balls. He never really got going and it's drinks in Dubai. That drink will taste sweeter for Afghanistan. 62/2 13.3 to JP Greaves, That was never going anywhere! Too short, still outside off, and gets too big on him as he gets out of shape to pull it. Deep midwicket pouches that with no trouble. He had to counter the bounce by setting himself way too deep in the crease to swipe at it so late, and the ball lacked any of the power needed to carry it over the ropes. 85/3 | ||||||||||

10.1 to Ibrahim Zadran, And Forde rams through this opening partnership! Slower ball on a good length, outside off. Never had any pace on it. Zadran was well outside his crease, trying to force the pace on the ball by smashing it for an on-drive. But Springer was waiting in the deep for an easy catch. 72/1 | ||||||||||

15.6 to Darwish Rasooli, Reversed but deep third catches it while running back! He switched his stance to this full ball. Was in his arc but he swiped across the line while misreading the pace off the ball. Couldn't get it over the fielder, and West Indies now have their first wicket off spin in this series. 107/3 | ||||||||||

16.5 to Mohammad Nabi, Gone! Springer tumbles and catches it in long on. Nabi has rattled the bowler here, getting into the off side once again and finding a juicy low full toss fall right in front of his bat. But he cannot get enough power on it from so low in his bat swing, and finds the fielder. 114/4 | ||||||||||

14.1 to Sediqullah Atal, Oh well, what's happened there? Short ball, banged in outside off. Rises at the batter, who does not use any feet as he tries to reach away from his body and drive down the ground. Never looked like timing it. Nicked straight to the keeper. 94/2 18.1 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, WOAH! He's gone. Is that the game? He plays the same shot he's been playing: on his knees from the off side, swiped straight to deep square leg. He times it almost too well, finding Matthew Forde near the boundary. He takes the ball, jumps outside the ropes, throws the ball in the air, and then collects the ball as he steps back in. Excellent catch The third umpire is consulted and he returns with an OUT. 127/5 18.2 to Rashid Khan, Straight to the fielder! Right outside off and quite full. Rashid uses those wrists of his to splice it away to deep backward point - the only one stationed there. He jumps in the air and tumbles backwards, but the ball stays in his hand, and so does the match for West Indies. 127/6 18.3 to Shahidullah, HE GETS IT TOO! What a ball, OOF. This one rockets straight down the line and yorks the off stump. Takes off the bails with that late tail back into the batter, who just puts his head down and walks away. Springer runs away in delight and brings out a chest-roller celebration as his teammates embrace him. Second hat-trick in this series, too. 127/7 | ||||||||||
