4.1 OUT! LBW! Sethmika Seneviratne draws the first blood! Overpitches and angles it on middle and leg, Ahmadzai half-presses to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. Huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Maybe going down but enough to hit the stumps. 16/1

40.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Viran Chamuditha strikes a crucial blow. He floats it up, full and around middle, holds up in the surface and turns away a bit too. Osman Sadat goes down for the big sweep but goes through it a bit early. He misses and the ball goes through to rattle the middle stump. Sadat departs for a gritty 61 off 107, and the Afghans lose half their side now. 140/5

13.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Khan goes! Viran Chamuditha floats it fuller and on middle, Sadat clips it to square leg and calls for a quick single. The fielder collects and throws at the keeper, Chamarindu Nethsara, who clips the bails off in a flash. Osman Sadat was struggling, he put in a dive but still fell short. A slow start for Sadat but he has to go back. 50/2

17.3 OUT! TAKEN! Viran Chamuditha gets his first wicket. Flatter, just outside off, Uzairullah Niazai looks to drive it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. It carries towards short cover. Vimath Dinsara takes an easy catch. A soft dismissal for Uzairullah Niazai. 56/3

22.1 OUT TAKEN! Something had to give, and it is the Afghan skipper who has to walk back now. Kugathas Mathulan bangs in a well-directed short ball, angling into the body of the batter. Mahboob Khan looks to hook it away but gets cramped up for room. He ends up mistiming it wide of deep fine leg where Rasith Nimsara moves to his right, and takes a fantastic diving catch just above the ground. He did well to hold on to it even after his elbow hit the ground. A scratchy 3 off 24 for Mahboob, and Afghanistan Under-19 are 64/4 now. 64/4

43.4 OUT! AZIZ MIA KHIL IS RUN OUT! The running between the wickets has been poor from the Afghan, and this is the second run out of the game.

Aziz calls his partner for the run and his partner responds, but there is none available. Vimath Dinsara quickly gets to the ball and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end with an underarm throw, with Aziz nowhere near the crease. Aziz walks back for a fine 43 off 58, but he is disgusted with himself and throws his bat on the ground to vent out some frustration. 154/6

49.2 OUT! TAKEN! Rasith Nimsara joins the party in his last over. He goes full and around off. Khatir Stanikzai extends his arms to loft it down the round but his bat turns in his hand and he does not get the elevation. It goes high in the air towards long off, where Kavija Gamage settles himself just ahead of the ropes and pouches it safely. A struggling knock of 13 off 27 from Khatir and the Afghans are nine down now. 191/9

44.3 OUT! TAKEN! Chamika Heentigala gets a wicket now. He tosses it up, full and around off. Nooristani charges down to slog it across the line but gets nowhere near the pitch it.

Nooristani goes for a duck and Afghanistan Under-19 are 154/7. 154/7

46.2 OUT! TAKEN! Tries again, but holes out this time. Kugathas Mathulan goes fuller and on middle, Abdul Aziz clears his front leg to loft it down the ground but fails to get underneath it fully.

49.5 OUT! ZADRAN IS RUN OUT! Absolute chaos to end the inning. Rasith Nimsara bowls this full and around off, Wahid Zadran swings but misses, and the batters try to sneak in a bye.

Afghanistan Under-19 have been bowled out for 193 runs. 193/10

0.5 OUT! TAKEN! A massive moment in this game. Abdul Aziz serves this fuller and around off. Viran Chamuditha reaches out and tries to loft it over the infield, but gets no elevation on the shot. It flies flat in the air wide of mid off, where Aziz Mia Khil takes a good catch moving to his right.. The Afghans go wild in the celebration, but it has been paused because of a No Ball check. Oh..wow! The replay shows that it is very close and from some angles, it looks like no part of Aziz's foot is behind the line. However, upon further inspection, one angle shows that his some part of his heel is touching the ground. Out is the decision, and Viran has to walk back. Sri Lanka Under-19 are 5/1, chasing 194 runs. 5/1

14.3 OUT! GONE! Sri Lanka's best batter, Dimantha Mahavithana goes. A nothing shot really. Bangs it short and angles it on leg, Dimantha Mahavithana stands tall to pull but edges it behind to the keeper, Mahboob Khan, who makes no mistake. A wicket out of nowhere for Afghanistan but they'll happily take it. 60/2

32.1 OUT! BOWLED' EM! Oh, absolute beauty from Wahid Zadran to pick up a wicket in his final over! Floats it on the fuller side on middle, comes with the angle and straightens up just as Wekunagoda leans to defend inside the line. He misses, it goes past his edge and hits the stumps. 130/5

21.1 OUT! STUMPED! Beautifully bowled! Dinsara takes a premeditated charge down the track and Arab bowls the arm ball, squeezing on leg, fuller. Dinsara fails to flick it away. The ball rolls past his leg and to the keeper. Mahboob Khan makes no mistake. Easy decision for the square leg umpire. 89/3

28.4 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder! A shot too many from Gamage and he has to go. Short in length, outside off. Gamage goes back and cuts but straight in the hands of Nazif Amiri at point, who takes a sharp catch. Hits it a bit too cleanly and finds the fielder. 121/4

44.3 OUT! TAKEN! Tries to go for the glory shot and holes out. Floats it full and around off, Dulnith Sigera gets on his knee to slog-sweep but gets a top edge, high and to short fine leg where Nazif Amiri runs to his left and holds onto it. 182/6
