New Zealand v Afghanistan - #BendTheRules Moments

1.3 Boult to Javed Ahmadi, OUT, given! Was that pitching in line? It swung in and smacked him on the front pad, which was thrust halfway forward and across to play through the on side. They've reviewed it. Hits on the knee-roll, or just above. Nowhere near the inside edge. It's pitching in line, and it's clipping the top of leg stump, so Ahmadi has to go Javed Ahmadi lbw b Boult 1 (6m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 14.28

2.1 Vettori to Usman Ghani, OUT, bowled him! That's a beauty, full, and it drifts in the air, into the batsman, continues along that angle after pitching, and sneaks into the gap that's opened up between the bat and pad of Ghani, who was playing for the turn Usman Ghani b Vettori 0 (12m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

8.2 Boult to Asghar Stanikzai, OUT, gone! Goes after another shortish ball outside off. The shot was on, he was looking for the uppercut, but didn't get the elevation and ended up hitting a comfortable catch to Guptill at the squarer of two gullies Asghar Stanikzai c Guptill b Boult 9 (24m 18b 2x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

15.1 Vettori to Nawroz Mangal, OUT, bowled him, that's Vettori's 300th! You don't want to cut him unless he's really short and wide. He's neither here, and he made a bit of room, and the ball kept coming in with the angle and knocked back his off stump. 12th bowler in ODIs to reach the landmark, and the first New Zealander Nawroz Mangal b Vettori 27 (58m 46b 3x4 0x6) SR: 58.69

19.4 Vettori to Mohammad Nabi, OUT, that's Vettori's third. Nabi goes on the back foot to punch, it bounces more than he expects, and the ball takes his outside edge, well taken by Taylor at slip, that went quickly to him, to his right Mohammad Nabi c Taylor b Vettori 6 (20m 15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

19.5 Vettori to Afsar Zazai, OUT, and he's gone first ball! Quicker ball from Vettori, and it pins Zazai to the crease, tries to bring his bat down in a hurry to defend it, couldn't bring it down quickly enough. Ball goes with the arm and smacks him on the front pad. I'm not sure that was hitting leg stump, but the umpire thought it was. No reviews left for Afghanistan. Hawkeye says clipping, I'm not convinced. Afsar Zazai lbw b Vettori 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

45.2 Anderson to Samiullah Shenwari, OUT, shortish, not quite short enough to pull. It's too close to his hip and he ends up spooning a simple catch to Taylor at square leg. Gets a standing ovation from the crowd as he walks off. Samiullah Shenwari c Taylor b Anderson 54 (172m 110b 5x4 1x6) SR: 49.09

5.5 Mohammad Nabi to McCullum, OUT, nope, this is the knockout! It's quicker, it's fuller and McCullum went for another pull. Poor choice of shot as he gets the bottom of the inside edge, deflects it onto his pads and then into the stumps BB McCullum b Mohammad Nabi 42 (31m 19b 6x4 1x6) SR: 221.05

18.4 Shapoor Zadran to Williamson, OUT, picked out midwicket! Shapoor was brought back for this express reason and he has managed to lure a false stroke out. Williamson has been in such good form that he jumps into a pull too soon and miscues it. Minor opening found. Can Afghanistan break through? KS Williamson c Samiullah Shenwari b Shapoor Zadran 33 (58m 45b 4x4 0x6) SR: 73.33

26.4 Dawlat Zadran to Guptill, OUT, Oh man. There was no single there. Back of a length outside off, punched to the right of point and they take on the fielder's arm after a moment's hesitation. The throw to the bowler's end misses but the fielder backing up from mid-on, Shenwari, rebounds it into the stumps and Guptill is a couple of inches short of his crease MJ Guptill run out 57 (123m 76b 7x4 0x6) SR: 75.00
