    0.2 and Farooqi has struck early, it was full and shaping in, looks to drive but down the wrong line, is struck on the back pad in front, loud appeal and given. 0/1
    31.5 and there's the wicket they were wanting! Short ball outside the off stump. Kaia reveals his thought process quite early by coming down the track. Fareed notices this and drops it short. The batter wants to still go through with the stroke and all that he manages is an edge back to the keeper. It was a top edge and was climbing onto the keeper. He does well to leap and take the catch. They were looking to accelerate when they have already got 7 runs off the over. That's a set batter gone 151/4
    12.1 fuller and looking to work it through the onside, misses it and strikes the pad, loud appeal and not given this time. Afghanistan review. Hitting in line and going onto hit the leg stump. A good review that. 47/2
    19.4 moves back and looking to work it through the onside, misses it, strikes the pad in line after pitching in line and loud appeal and given. Madhevere queries with Kaia and then decides not to review it, walks back to the pavilion. 84/3
    35.5 and has the wicket with the change of angle! Short of a good length delivery wide outside the off stump. He makes room and cuts it straight into the hands of the short third-man fielder standing at the edge of the circle. Zimbabwe have slipped from a position of strength. Will they play out the 50-overs ? 168/6
    33.2 it hasn't been given out and the captain of Afghanistan goes for a review with a lot of hesitation. Hasn't overstepped. Pitched fuller in line with the stumps. There is no spike on ultraedge as it passes the bat. The ball tracking shows that it was hitting the stumps. Wrong on his part to play on the backfoot to a fuller delivery. The innings is falling off the tracks now with two quick wickets 153/5

    36.6 and he has the wicket with what seems to be a quicker delivery outside the off stump. He looks to defend it and gets an inside edge that rattles the stumps. Rashid has bowled well this over and how much of a threat will he be to the Zimbabwe tail? 176/7
    37.6 fuller, looped up delivery outside the off stump. Chatara's eyes lit up as he saw the delivery. He wanted to go the aerial route to get off the mark. He was beaten in the air as the ball dipped down on him as he played the stroke. Simple catch to the fielder at extra cover 177/8
    48.3 castles him with a quick yorker on the off the stump. Hits the base of the off stump. 223/9
    49.6 short and wide outside the off stump. He looks to slog it and is beaten. Chivanga runs across and a poor throw by the keeper makes the single easy and they get the chance to take the overthrow. It would've been a couple had it not been for an error by Chivanga at the bowler's end. He fails to ground the bat as he running. The bowler collects the throw and whips the bails off the stumps 228/10
