Karim Janat to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Shirzad!! That's a very good catch at deep cover. Low full toss outside off stump, Rashid slices it high in the air, looked like it would clear the rope for a moment, but the fielder had it covered in the deep. Moved to his left and grabbed it with both hands. Rashid Khan c Shirzad b Karim Janat 1(5)

Shirzad to Laurie Evans, SIX, lovely hit! That back and across movement to go deep in the crease and get into great position to muscle the ball way over mid-wicket, Shirzad pays the price for bowling a length ball
18.1
W
Shirzad to Shahidullah, out Bowled!! Lovely slower delivery and Shahidullah was way too early into the slog. Completely missed it as he tried to get a maximum and the ball hits the top of middle stump. Good hand from him though and great to see Shirzad acknowledge his effort with a handshake. Shahidullah b Shirzad 33(21) [4s-1 6s-3]

W
Shirzad to Javed Ahmadi, out Caught by Asghar Afghan!! That is a soft dismissal. Poor shot selection as he just chips the cut to find the man at cover, who was diving forward.

Naveed to Hazratullah Zazai, out Bowled!! If he bowled a lovely delivery previous ball, he betters it this ball. This is an off stump yorker, bit of Waqar Younis in the action, Zazai tries to clear his foot and jam the bal down in time, the ball slips under the bat and hits the base of the sticks. Great ball to get a wicket. Hazratullah Zazai b Naveed 11(13) [4s-2]
