Dawlat 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.
