    42.4 Another one bites the dust and this time it is the centurion Atal who departs. Was a back of a length ball outside off. Atal backs away looking to go over cover. He instead ends up slicing it with the ball going to Ngarava at deep third, who makes no mistake. Nyamhuri exults. 228/4

    34.6 Malik throws his wicket away! Clever piece of bowling from Nyamhuri. Bowls a slower delivery, length ball around middle stump angling in, Malik charges down to hit this across and completely misses it. Ball crashes onto his leg stump after going past under his edge. But what an innings this was from the opener. Zimbabwe finally get a wicket in the 35 over 191/1

    38.6 Nyamhuri gets his second! Bowls a short length ball on leg stump, Omarzai is a bit early on his pull shot towards deep backward square leg and gets beaten on pace. Ngarava runs in and dives in front to complete the catch 210/2

    48.5 Straight down long-off's throat. Slower length ball outside off. Nabi was looking to go downtown over long-off. Gets it right off the toe end of the bat and Ervine takes a comfortable catch moving to his left 275/5

    49.6 And a wicket to end things. Banged in short on middle. Alikhil is late on the pull and mistimes to the left of mid-on where Raza puts in a dive and takes a sharp catch 286/6

    0.6 Is he gone? Looks like it. Excellent throw from Shahidi. Curran has already started walking back. Afghanistan are celebrating. Full length delivery on off stump, taps this to mid on gently and takes off. But Shahidi's quick throw at non-striker's end means Curran is well short of the crease 0/1

    4.1 There's the outside edge. Farooqi was playing with the off-stump line in the last over, bowling three outswingers. Marumani falls into his trap now, nicking a length ball outside off moving away. Keeper collects the ball cleanly to leave Zimbabwe two down 4/2

    5.3 Omarzai strikes! He is elated. Bowls a length ball around off stump, swings in a bit before straightening up as Myers looks to defend. But he ends up nicking one behind to the first slip. Zimbabwe in trouble 5/3

    11.3 The off pole has been flattened! Williams wasn't picking Ghazanfar off the hand, and has to now depart. Carrom ball that pitches on a length outside off and spins back into Williams. He has left a huge gap between bat and ball, and Ghazanfar has sneaked through 32/5

    11.5 Bennett lasted one ball in the first ODI, he's lasted two balls in the second. Floated outside off, turning back into Bennett, who pushes at it, gets a thick outside edge and Atal at second slip takes a sharp catch low to his left 32/6

    14.2 The middle stump has gone for a walk, and that is a first wicket for Naveed in ODIs. Good length ball that decks back into Nyamhuri late. He plays down the wrong line and sees his stumps in a mess 45/7

    16.4 Two fours and Naveed gets his man. Banged in short into his body. Ngarava looks for a pull, gets a big top edge that goes straight up behind the keeper. Alikhil runs back, dives and hangs on to a lovely catch. 53/8

    16.5 Huge appeal for lbw, and the finger is up in a jiffy. That was as plumb as they get. Sharp length ball nipping back into Gwandu who is late to bring his bat down. The ball thuds into his pad and he is caught right in front of the stumps. 53/9

    17.5 Appeal for stumping. Alikhil looks confident. Carrom ball that turns away from Maposa, who is drawn forward and gets beaten. His foot did come up for a second when he got off-balanced. Alikhil took off the bails at that instance but this is a tough one for the third umpire. He rules that the foot was in the air when the bails came off. Afghanistan win the second ODI by 232 runs. 54/10
