England among the wickets now as Najibullah is beaten by a slower ball from Wood as he looks to slog but misses and is bowled for 15.
The next ball is a short ball as left-hander Ikram looks to duck under but gets a glove which narrowly falls short of wicketkepeer Buttler, diving to his left.
Rashid Khan has a swing but is deceived by the change of pace from Wood and then ducks under a short ball followed by another play and miss.
Archer bowls a good bouncer to Ikram who does well to defend it and then takes a single to point.
Rashid then carves the England fast bowler over the off-side for two runs before he swings but can't get hold of it followed by another mishit.
Rashid finally connects with one as he clears the fielder at mid-off for a four and then skies the next ball high for a couple.
Archer strikes in the final over with the wicket of Rashid, who has another swing but ends up hitting it straight to Bairstow, who finally manages to hold on to a catch on his third attempt.
The last ball is a quick bouncer as Ikram is hit on the helmet with England completing a crushing victory by 150 runs.
