- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 bowled im. Did not seem like Atkinson was picking him. Went back to a flat delivery that skidded on. Plays the flick late but the ball is through bat and pad already and splatters into the stumps. Timely wicket, at a crucial stage 56/35.4 what a way to go. Very unlucky but Nabi has the breakthrough once again. A tossed up delivery on middle and Campbell's eyes lit up, got down early and was through the sweep too early too. Lobs up into the helmet off the body and then rolls back onto the stumps, with Shahzad consciously not interfering. 40/15.6 doesn't matter because Hayat has thrown his wicket away with a nothing stroke on a slow surface. Bad shot, loose shot. Some more flight on middle, Hayat comes down and just flicks the ball in the air to midwicket. 42/29.5 phew, how can you play that? Chapman could do nothing about it. What a delivery that is. An exceptional yorker on middle, that is absolutely perfect. Quick through the air and pacey too, which aids in sneaking under the bat. Those zing bails light up with red, symbolic of the trouble HK are in 61/413.4 gone by a mile. Flat delivery outside off, not by accident. Sees the batsman coming and fires it wider. Nizakat is caught like a deer in Nabi's lights and is stumped after missing his flick. Shahzad takes his time but mows down the bails as he does 81/517.4 and this one is taken by Nabi himself. Great catch. Tosses it up on middle, Kinchit goes for a big hoick but gets a thick leading edge which flies away towards midwicket. Nabi runs across and takes it himself.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 gets under it this time but slices the ball straight down long-off's throat. Shimmies down once more, and goes for another ferocious thump but not of the middle. An easy take for long-off. He's done his job though 70/114.5 beautifully driven in the gap past cover for two. But they want a third and that could be out. Noor Ali labours back for the third and is short of his ground. Atkinson collects cleanly and uproots all three stumps from the ground. Great throw from mid-off, right end too. HK have two quick wickets. Too little, too late, surely? 97/314.3 looking for the massive slog but misses. Nabi isn't too happy but he has to go. Flat delivery on middle, Nabi misses the heave and the stumps are rattled. Decent cameo though 95/216.3 gone. Another unusual dismissal. Shafiqullah gets down low for a hard sweep but the pitch is rather slow and Shafiq is through the stroke too early, ends up toe-ending it back to the bowler who takes a good, low catch. 103/4Extras2 (nb 1, w 1)TOTAL119/4 (18 Overs, RR: 6.61)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Mohammad Shahzad, 10.4 ov), 2-95 (Mohammad Nabi, 14.3 ov), 3-97 (Noor Ali Zadran, 14.5 ov), 4-103 (Shafiqullah, 16.3 ov)

There is a method to the Afghanistan opening batsman's madness. And somehow with all the swinging, hoicking, slapping and missing, he does make real runs
