England 302-2 (44 ovs) vs Afg | Scorecard
No stopping Morgan as he continues the fireworks. He comes down the track and lofts Nabi straight back over his head for a big six!
Nabi drops short and Morgan pulls it high over midwicket for another six to raise the 100-run stand from just 65 balls.
Will Root also look to join the party and try to hit from his end too?
Mujeeb continues as Root hits the first ball past point for one and Morgan plays the reverse sweep which drops just short of the fielder inside the circle at thirdman for another run.
Root then plays the inside out lofted shot for just one before Mujeeb does well to bowl three dot balls in a row to Morgan.
He finishes with good figures of just 44 runs conceded in his 10 overs, when all the others around him have gone for plenty.
It is turning out to be a horror day with the ball for Rashid. Morgan lofts the second ball straight down the ground for a six to continue his assault.
He then slaps the googly which is slightly short through the covers for a couple before he pulls a half-tracker over midwicket for a six to race into the 90s, from just 55 balls.
Morgan then hammers Rashid's last ball for another six to race to his century in majestic fashion from just 57 balls, having hit three fours and 11 sixes.
Three sixes in the over as Rashid gives away 21 runs in his seventh over.
Root also looks to join the party as he shuffles across and paddles medium pacer Naib fine on the leg side for a four.
Three singles and a double from the last ball as England race past 300, in the 44th over.
