Zadran to Groenewald, OUT

Yes Sir! It swung in this time around, Groenewald was hanging on the back foot and it rattles the off pole. What a performance from Afghanistan. They have outplayed the opposition in all aspects of the game.

Zahir Khan to Smit, OUT

Five-for for Zahir. Tossed up on off stump, wrong one too. Smit gets on the front foot and edges to Shahzad at first slip. And some Champion Dance celebrations from Shahzad.

Zadran to Scholtz, OUT

no way he could have played that. Fuller from around the stumps, swings in from outside off. Scholtz was late in getting his bat down and it was way too late. Boom! Off pole gets a whack.
