4.1 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, dragged on! No Gurbazball today. Archer's 50th ODI wicket. Very full, swinging in. Gurbaz shapes to drive through the off side but gets a thick inside edge and can only deflect it onto his own stumps, via the pad. 86mph/139kph. Low-key celebration from Archer, just a small fist-pump, but that's a massive early scalp. 11/1 4.5 to Sediqullah Atal, full and straight, Archer pleads for the lbw... Joel Wilson gives it! Atal will review but only after a long consultation with his partner. Atal planted his front foot and almost managed to get his bat caught behind the pad. Ahsan Raza is satisfied that it's pad first, with the two close together. Pitching in line - albeit only just - and then ball-tracking projects it will smash into middle stump halfway up! Archer has two in the over.. 15/2 8.5 to Rahmat Shah, lazy wipe across the line, and Rashid clings on at long leg! Back of a length, dragged from outside off stump but late on the pull. Steepling top edge into the leg side. Rashid covers the ground, slides to his knees, and manages to keep hold of it. Three for Archer, and Afghanistan are in big trouble.. 37/3 | ||||||||||

39.6 to Azmatullah Omarzai, swings hard at the offcutter, but picks out long-on! Banton, the sub fielder, takes the catch a couple of yards off the rope. In the arc for Azmat, who cleared his front leg and looked to swipe over midwicket. But he got it a little straighter than intended, as the ball came off the toe, and picked out the boundary-rider. 212/5 | ||||||||||
10 | 0 | 60 | 1 | 6.00 | 21 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | |
29.3 to Hashmatullah Shahidi, Timber! Flat, straight, out the ground of the hand, Shahidi misjudges the length as he attempts a reverse sweep, the ball squeezing under his bats and into the stumps. 140/4 | ||||||||||
7 | 0 | 47 | 0 | 6.71 | 19 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
5 | 0 | 28 | 2 | 5.60 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
49.1 to Ibrahim Zadran, picks out Archer at deep backward square! Zadran falls for a magnificent, record-breaking 177. Poor ball to start, a half-volley on the pads, but a steepling top-edged sweep which Archer pouches well on the rope. Superb rescue-act innings. Standing ovation as he walks off. 323/6 49.4 to Mohammad Nabi, picks out Root on the rope. Nabi's fun comes to an end. Deep in the crease, gets underneath it, but too much elevation and not enough distance. Straightforward catch at deep midwicket to bring a lively cameo to a close. 324/7 |

48.5 to JC Archer, CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Another Farooqi slowie, another hopeful, lower order hack... and into the safe hands of the Wise Old Man Nabi! Kept his cool, striding in from long on... Afghanistan are on the verge.... 313/9 | ||||||||||
9.5 | 0 | 58 | 5 | 5.89 | 30 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
3.3 to PD Salt, Bowled him! A bail-trimmer does for Salt, who was heaving across the line amateurishly, not picking the length - clearly thinking it was shorter than it was.. 19/1 36.5 to JC Buttler, Buttler goes! The crowd erupts! Excellent short ball from Omarzai, at the body of Buttler, who is willing to pull but with no control whatsoever, top-edging to Rahmat Shah out at deep square leg!. 216/5 45.5 to JE Root, GONE!!!! Joe Root is out! Hell of an effort ball from Omarzai, hammers it just short of a length, Gets the skid on as Root attempts to cut over third, but ends up gloving through to the keeper! What a game!. 287/7 47.5 to J Overton, Slower ball does the trick!!! The cutter works supreme after the short delay for a bit of sawdust... Overton is tempted into the shot down the ground and realizes halfway through that he's in strife and watches on, open-mouthed, as long on settles under a routine catch. 309/8 49.5 to AU Rashid, Rashid goes big down the ground... and it's caught at long on! AFGHANISTAN HAVE WON BY EIGHT RUNS! Their Champions Trophy dreams remain alive... but England are out of the tournament! A repeat of the 2023 result in the ODI World Cup, but this one will feel so much worse for Englan and Jos Buttler, who is surely on his way out as England captain. But full credit to Afghanistan - first Ibrahim Zadran's special century, and then Azmatullah Omarzai bookending with remarkable figures of 5 for 58 in defense of their score of 325! A truly special night for Afghanistan cricket. 317/10 | ||||||||||

6.1 to JL Smith, Strikes first ball! Jamie Smith, what have you done?! Charges the wily off spinner first ball, trying to launch down the ground but doesn't get to the pitch of the delivery, which straightens, and falls into the hands of backward point!. 30/2 21.4 to HC Brook, chipped back, the President strikes again! Brook has looked a million dollars for his first 20 balls but falls to a pound-shop delivery. Speared in halfway down, sits up and begs to be hit, but Brook is caught in two minds and can only pop back a return catch off the splice of the bat. Nabi has two, Afghanistan have four. 133/4 | ||||||||||
10 | 0 | 66 | 1 | 6.60 | 19 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
16.4 to BM Duckett, full, struck on the pad in front of leg stump... prolonged appeal from Rashid, but Rod Tucker isn't interested. Review taken after a brief consultation. Did this pitch in line? Was there an inside edge? No bat on it as Duckett looked to work through mid-on. Pitches in line, and projected to hit middle-and-leg, two-thirds of the way up!. 98/3 | ||||||||||

38.4 to LS Livingstone, Nicked it! Out come the Gulbadin guns, as he throws out a tempter outside off, Livingstone has a thrash and cuts through to the keeper! 124kph, so perhaps surprised by the extra zip, but a real slack shot. 233/6 |
