England 155-1 (27 ovs) vs Afg | Scorecard

Nabi from round the wicket. Root clips the first ball to short fine leg where the fielder slips and ends up giving away a single to continue Afghanistan's poor showing on the field.

Bairstow then pulls a short ball through square leg for a four before he keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Bairstow looking to stay as long as possible. Root picks one to long-on before Bairstow drills a full delivery from Rashid through the covers for a four and retains strike with one from the last ball.

Baristow continues to be quite smart with his shot selection. Just a slight error in line and length from the Afghanistan bowlers, and Bairstow has been quick to make most of it.

An overpitched delivery from Nabi is hit straight down the ground for a six as England go past the 150-run mark, in the 27th over.

Bairstow has stroked his way to 86 from 88 balls, while Root has eased his way to 40 from 43 balls.
