England 397-6 (50 ovs) vs Afg | Scorecard

Rashid comes back into the attack, to bowl the 49th over. Moeen continues the assault on the leggie as he lofts the first ball wide of long-off for a six as Rashid completes his century too with the ball.

Stokes then has a swing and is beaten but manages to make his crease before the wicketkeeper whips off the bails.

Stokes then picks a single to deep square leg before Moeen swings the last ball for a six to get 14 from the over.

Rashid has been thrashed for 110 runs in his nine overs, the most expensive figures by a bowler in World Cups.

Zadran to bowl the final over. He strikes first ball with the wicket of Stokes, who shuffles across but misses the yorker and is bowled for two.

A good short ball as Chris Woakes hits the pull on the body and survives a run out chance as the bowler misses the direct hit.

Another good bouncer as Moeen top edges the pull which goes fine on the leg side for a four.

Zadran then bowls a high bouncer which is called a wide before Moeen pulls the next for a six to keep England in with the chance of getting 400.

The pacer then bowls a length ball on the leg stump which Moeen flicks over midwicket for another six.

The last ball is a good yorker as Morgan slaps it to sweeper cover for one as England finish agonizingly short of 400.
