AFG vs PAK Live Cricket Score

0.4 OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Fakhar Zaman is a goner. Fazalhaq Farooqi strikes and gets his side off to an ideal start here. It is a length ball, angled into the left-hander. Fakhar Zaman gets enticed, but does not read the movement here. The ball nips away sharply to catch the outside edge. The ball flies towards the second slip fielder, but he is unable to pouch it, but instead it pops up and fortunately lands straight into Mohammad Nabi's palms who was situated just to his right. 3/1

36 OUT! GONE! Afghanistan have Imam-ul-Haq but more importantly, Rashid Khan is lying down on the ground after taking the catch. This is full and on middle, Imam-ul-Haq skips down and tries to loft it over mid on but toe ends his shot and Rashid Khan there tracks back and rolls backward as he completes the catch. Maybe he have landed on the lower back. Ahh, good to seem him back on the feet. Now, Afghanistan will enjoy the wicket properly. 152/6

2 OUT! LBW! Just as I say that there is hardly any spin on offer, Babar Azam gets beaten comprehensively. Umpire thinks it is plumb and the finger goes up. Babar Azam eventually takes the review. Coming to the delivery, it is tossed up, full and on off. It turns into the batter a bit. Babar Azam plants his front foot forward and tries to defend it out but misses. The UltraEdge informs no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and Babar Azam has to depart cheaply. Now, both the teams have only one review left in their bank.

This is a tossed up delivery, on leg, it straightens a bit after hitting the deck. Mohammad Rizwan gets beaten on the outside edge and gets pinged on his pads. Nothing could save Mohammad Rizwan this time. Agha Salman is the new batter in. 40/3

16.3 OUT! LBW! First over, first wicket for Rashid Khan! The magician is back at work. This is flat and lands outside off, the googly but Salman fails to read.
