Afghanistan struggle with the bat

June 18, 2019 20:49

Afg 104-3 (25 ovs) vs England 397-6 | Scorecard

A single to Rahmat and Shahidi before the former glances the third ball from Moeen fine on the leg side for a four.

He then takes one to point before Shahidi takes a single off the last ball.

Stokes keeps bowling tight as he gives away just four singles in his third over, with Afghanistan looking in no rush at the moment.

The asking rate has gone over 11 as Rahmat and Shahidi looking for some batting practice, not even taking a chance or two against spinner Moeen.

Moeen gives away just two runs in his seventh over as Afghanistan bring up their 100, in the 23rd over.

Another quiet over from Stokes as he concedes just two runs before England make a change as Adil Rashid replaces Moeen, to bowl the 25th over.

He strikes in his first over as Rahmat hits a full toss straight into the hands of Bairstow at deep midwicket to perish for 46.

Afghanistan are 104 for three in 25 overs, needing another 294 runs for victory at an asking rate of above 11.
