- BATSMENRB4s6sSR16.5 down the leg and might have brushed something on it's way to the keeper. Robinson has a chat with his partner and goes upstairs. The soft signal is out, definite the ball has kissed the bat and Holt has pouched it safely. 58/27.4 got'em. Another well directed bouncer, Zadran looks to clear fine leg but gets an awful timing on this one, top edge finds Hadley who takes a fine catch 21/140.1 full on off stump, plays back to the bowler 146/722.4 down the leg again and he has nicked one to Holt. Back of a length on middle and leg line, Bahir Shah looks to pull but only manages to edge back to the keeper. 80/324.1 full on middle and leg, Darwish walks across to play the flick, misses and thuds on the pad. A loud-confident appeal and Robinson acknowledges.. I reckon it would have missed leg, anyway! 86/434.5 gone! Slower length ball on off and tries to play through cover but was undone by the lack of pace, gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps 124/536.5 gone. Back of a length on off, Azmatullah makes room for a big heave but only manages to skew one towards mid-on. Edawards out there, settles underneath and pockets with ease. Afghanistan are in bit of trouble 131/644.4 tossed up on off stump and it was a wrong'un, Naveen plays down the wrong line and the ball snakes through the gap to disturb the furniture 161/942 another one down the leg? another strangle! Back of a length on leg stump, Qais tries to pull but ends up edging one back to the keeper. They are checking for a no-ball, he's fine 155/848 easy as it comes, full on off, slower ball I reckon and Zahir was ages early into the shot and lobs a dolly to cover fielder. 181/10Extras20 (lb 6, w 9, pen 5)TOTAL181 all out (48 Overs, RR: 3.77)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Ibrahim Zadran, 7.4 ov), 2-58 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 16.5 ov), 3-80 (Bahir Shah, 22.4 ov), 4-86 (Darwish Rasooli, 24.1 ov), 5-124 (Nisar Wahdat, 34.5 ov), 6-131 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 36.5 ov), 7-146 (Ikram Alikhil, 40.1 ov), 8-155 (Qais Ahmad, 41.6 ov), 9-161 (Naveen-ul-Haq, 44.4 ov), 10-181 (Zahir Khan, 47.6 ov)
