England 11-0 (2 ovs) vs Afg | Scorecard

Off-spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman to open the bowling for Afghanistan, while England have a new opening pair in Jonny Bairstow and James Vince, who replaces the injured Jason Roy.

Mujeeb gets some drifts into right-hander Vince who defends the first ball before clipping the next through square leg for two runs to get off the mark.

Vince then defends a flighted delivery on the off-side before he clips the next through uppishly for another couple of runs.

Mujeeb gets some extra bounce and little bit of turn as Vince is beaten before he watchfully defends the last ball.

Dawlat Zadran from the other end. Bairstow clips the first ball on the leg side for a single before Vince pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four.

Two balls later he drives it straight down the ground as the fielder at mid-on fumbles to give away a single and Bairstow takes another run.
