9.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! Chopped on! Just when it was all going Afghanistan's way, they lose their fourth. This one was short and wide and it was spinning further away. Gulbadin Naib goes after it but ends up getting an inside edge. The ball goes on to hit the off stump and Naib can't believe it. Ish Sodhi provides the breakthrough for New Zealand.

9.5 overs (1 Run) On a length, around off. Zadran punches it down to long off for a single.

9.3 overs (1 Run) Slightly shorter, around middle and leg. Zadran works it through mid-wicket for one.

Ish Sodhi is into the attack now.

9.1 overs (1 Run) Tossed up, on middle and pushed to long on for one.

8.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Back-to-back now from Najibullah Zadran! A slice of luck in this one but Zadran won't care. Width on offer and edged down to the third man fence.

8.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Lovely shot from Najibullah Zadran. On middle and lofted nicely over the bowler's head for a boundary.

8.4 overs (1 Run) Yet another single in the over! Banged in, around off and pulled down to deep square leg for a run.

7.2 overs (1 Run) Quicker one, angled across the off stump. Zadran cuts it through cover-point for a run.

7.1 overs (1 Run) Shortish ball, on middle. Naib nudges it towards the mid-wicket region for a single.

Mitchell Santner comes to bowl now.

6.6 overs (0 Run) Neesham hurls across a length ball, around middle and Zadran blocks it out.

6.5 overs (1 Run) Slower one, bowled wider and Naib slashes it towards deep point for a single.

6.2 overs (1 Run) Fuller one, on middle and drilled won to long on for one.

6.1 overs (2 Runs) In the air...safe! On middle and Naib launches this one on the leg side. The ball goes miles up in the air and lands safely towards the cow corner fence. The fielder from mid-wicket cuts it out and they get a couple.

James Neesham comes into the attack.

5.6 overs (2 Runs) Two more to end the Powerplay and it has been dominated by New Zealand! The Afghans are 23 for 3. On the pads, this is worked through square leg for two.

5.5 overs (0 Run) That is a good bumper! On middle, Zadran evades it. He did well to drop his hands at the end.

5.4 overs (0 Run) Outside off, shorter, Zadran slaps it but to covers.

5.3 overs (0 Run) Goes short now and on middle, Zadran looks to pull, is a touch late in the shot. It goes off the splice back to the bowler.

5.2 overs (2 Runs) Two more! Fuller and outside off, this is driven through covers. The cover-point fielder runs after it, picks it up and as he tries to lob it to the fielder behind, slips. Just the two though.

Najibullah Zadran walks out to bat now.

5.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! LBW! That is as plumb as it gets! Good Gurbaz did not review that as his side would have lost one. Southee now comes on and he strikes. Whatever Williamson has done so far in this game has been on point. Outstanding from the Kiwis. Gurbaz was walking across a lot and you are always inviting problems while doing so against a quality bowling line-up. He does so again. Southee goes wide of the crease and spears this full and on middle, Gurbaz looks to flick but misses. Gets hit on the pads. Right in front. Appeal and the finger is raised. Three in the Powerplay, not many teams lose after taking that many wickets in the first 6.
