1.1 OUT! Straight to the man! Mark Adair gets the early wicket and it is of the dangerous Gurbaz! Another low score for him. This is full and outside off, Gurbaz looks to go over covers but tries to hit it too hard. It goes off the outer half and straight to Barry McCarthy at short third man. Perfect start for Ireland. 6/1

2.5 OUT! BOWLED! That is a ripper from Little! Serious pace! Serves a length ball, around middle and it jags back in. Ghani closes the face of the bat too early as he tries to work away but it nips in and brushes his gloves before hitting the stumps. Excellent start from Ireland. 20/2

15.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Delany bowls a loopy one, full and around off. Hashmatullah Shahidi looks to reverse hit and connects it well but hits it aerially and to point where Andy McBrine takes a sharp catch. Showed really good reflexes as it came quickly to him. 99/6

6 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Length ball, around middle and leg. Zadran looks to flick it over mid-wicket but gets more height than distance. Andy McBrine from deep mid-wicket charges forward and dives to take in front of him. Superb from him and Ireland get third wicket inside the Powerplay. Afghanistan are 41/3. 41/3

8.2 OUT! TAKEN! Campher bangs a bouncer, outside off. It is way too short and could have left it but Zadran throws his bat at it and the ball goes in the air and to sweeper cover where Barry McCarthy runs forward and takes it. Afghanistan are giving away their wicket. 55/4

11.2 OUT! TAKEN! The skipper goes now and Afghanistan are in deep, deep trouble! Tossed up, in the slot and on off. Nabi tries to slog-sweep but again does not hit to perfection. The ball goes to deep mid-wicket where George Dockrell takes it. 69/5

16.3 OUT! TAKEN! Afghanistan are 7 down now! Shorter and directed well on middle. Azmatullah Omarzai pulls it, gets cramp there but still goes through the shot and Harry Tector at long on takes a simple catch. Ireland have been outstanding with the ball. 103/7

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Khan goes now! This is too full and on off. Khan tries to loft it over covers but miscues it completely and Curtis Campher at short cover runs to his right and does well to get his hand underneath the ball. Khan's wicket will surely make a huge difference to the scoreboard. 117/8

2.2 OUT! TIMBER! Stirling is gone! Naveen gets the early wicket his side needed! This is a big booming inswinger. It comes back in from outside off. Stirling looks to go downtown but misses and the stumps are shattered. 7/1

11.2 OUT! c Rahmanullah Gurbaz b Mujeeb Ur Rahman.OUT! THE FINGER GOES UP! Afghanistan have something to be happy about but is this wicket a little too late? 51 needed. Down the leg side. Andy Balbirnie looks to sweep, it hits the glove and then the keeper. Lobs kindly for Gurbaz who takes it and appeals. The finger is raised. 72/2

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Not sure why these shots are being played! On middle, the slog sweep is out again, he does not hit it all that well and Najibullah Zadran takes another easy catch. Two new batters out in the middle, Afghanistan can build a little pressure. 86/4

13.2 OUT! TAKEN! Afghanistan have two in quick succession. Do they have a sniff here? 41 needed in 40. This is tossed up nicely, on middle, Tector goes for the slog sweep. He hits it well but it is the longer side of the boundary. He holes out to the fielder there. Najibullah Zadran takes a good catch. 82/3

16.5 OUT! TAKEN! A little too late maybe! Shorter and outside off, Campher looks to cut but it goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. A little too late though. 110/5
