- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 edged, taken at slip! Huge moment. Adjusts the line, outside off, and much fuller. Brings the drive and it's an edge that travels comfortably to slip around knee height 4/13.1 and strikes first ball! Short of a length, nips back past the bat and into the top of leg stump. No real footwork 20/32.3 through him! Two for Jansen. Back of a length at middle off, Naib playing from the crease, nips back a touch, scoots past the inside edge and takes off stump. That's a super delivery, in fact 16/26.3 taken at deep cover! Attempts to be aggressive, uses his feet, lofts over the off side but couldn't have picked out the fielder much better 28/63.4 and another! This is carnage. Brilliant bowling from Rabada. Good length, nips sharply off the seam, through the gap between bat and pad. That is a pearler. 20/44.6 short, down the leg side, and it's gloved it! Oh boy. Not a great delivery, was well away from the body, he went after it and got a tickle on the glove 23/59.3 big appeal for lbw, and given! Illingworth's finger went up in a flash. And the review is equally quick. Was full and straight, he played all around it. Has it turned too much? Clipping leg stump and umpire's call. 50/710.2 not many is the answer! Off stump is knocked out of the ground. Back of a length, this one doesn't get up, Rashid shaped to angle it away and was a long way from it 50/99.5 given lbw again! And another review. A quicker delivery, pushed through on the stumps, he was playing back. And it's clipping leg stump again 50/811.5 misses a sweep, looks very straight, and given...reviews because he can do. Can't see this going anywhere other than middle on first look. Hits the back leg. Smashing middle halfway up. 56/10Extras13 (b 6, lb 1, w 6)TOTAL56 all out (11.5 Overs, RR: 4.73)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 0.6 ov), 2-16 (Gulbadin Naib, 2.3 ov), 3-20 (Ibrahim Zadran, 3.1 ov), 4-20 (Mohammad Nabi, 3.4 ov), 5-23 (Nangeyalia Kharote, 4.6 ov), 6-28 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 6.3 ov), 7-50 (Karim Janat, 9.3 ov), 8-50 (Noor Ahmad, 9.5 ov), 9-50 (Rashid Khan, 10.2 ov), 10-56 (Naveen-ul-Haq, 11.5 ov)
