- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.2 taken by slip! At long last, Ireland have managed to get a hand on one of his mis-hits. Length on middle stump, turning away. Looks for the slog sweep and gets a top edge that climbs feebly for the slip fielder to run behind and hold on 90/116.2 straight to mid-on! Ahmadi looks to break the shackles but he doesn't go through with the shot. Full outside off. Steps out, meets it at the pitch but chips it straight to that man 92/235.4 through him and that's a wicket they desperately needed! tossed up on a length, he just pushed down the wrong line and it burst through the gap between bat and pad to hit middle 179/344.3 short ball, swatted away to deep squareleg but that hurried onto him, caught the splice and straight down deep squareleg's throat 234/636.3 dragged on that's the end of a frenetic innings! short outside off, innocuous delivery, made room and tried to blast it through the covers instead of just timing it and ended up inside edging it back on to his stumps 188/442.3 tossed up, top edged and taken at long-on! He tried to go over deep midwicket, went high up in the air but taken comfortably 226/545.2 down the wicket and stumped! Saw him coming down early, shortened his length, and it went under his bat as he attempted to heave it, well collected by the keeper 234/7Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL250/7 (48.3 Overs, RR: 5.15)Fall of wickets: 1-90 (Hazratullah Zazai, 15.2 ov), 2-92 (Javed Ahmadi, 16.2 ov), 3-179 (Rahmat Shah, 35.4 ov), 4-188 (Asghar Afghan, 36.3 ov), 5-226 (Mohammad Nabi, 42.3 ov), 6-234 (Hashmatullah Shahidi, 44.3 ov), 7-234 (Gulbadin Naib, 45.2 ov)
