England 164-2 (30 ovs) vs Afg | Scorecard

Captain Naib brings himself back into the attack. The medium pacer does well to give away three singles in his sixth over.

Another change from the other end as Mujeeb is back for his second spell. Three singles from five balls before Bairstow clips the last ball square on the leg side for two runs.

Naib tries the slower ball as Root picks a single before Bairstow is unable to get a run off the next three deliveries.

Bairstow then looks to play a forceful shot but is foxed by the change of pace as he ends up chipping it back to the bowler.

Bairstow misses out on the century as he perishes after a fluent 90 from 99 balls, having hit eight fours and three sixes.

England are well placed for a total well in excess of 300 as they reach 164 for two in 30 overs, with Root unbeaten on 45 from 49 balls.
