PAK vs AFG Live Cricket Score

8.3 OUT! Drags it on! Hassan strikes and makes an impact straightaway! MS can breath easy now as the missed stumping does not cost a lot. A much-needed wicket for Afghanistan as Pakistan were off to a very good start. A short one outside off, it is angling away. Imam like Zaman did on the last ball, looks to drag his pull but he only manages an inside edge onto the stumps. Hassan is pumped, he could have easily had both the openers in two balls. Nevertheless, they have got one now. 47/1

11.3 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! A well deserved wicket for Nabi. He gets his man and just like his opening partner, Zaman fails to make use of the life he got. The arm ball does the trick for Nabi. He bowls this one flatter and it is on off, Zaman looks to drive with a gap between bat and pad. The ball skids through, goes between the gap and hits the off pole. Both the openers back in the hut now. Afghanistan back in the game. 63/2

45.5 OUT! The centurion falls now! Pakistan losing their way here. Afghanistan ending it well. A short ball and it is once again a slower one. Azam goes back and looks to pull but does not get the desired elevation. It goes towards Shah at deep square leg who takes a neat catch. 246/7

12 OUT! It is the ball which disturbs the stumps behind! Nabi has got his second in the over and Sohail does not trouble the scorers a lot. A beauty of a delivery this. He got Zaman with the one that goes straight on with the arm and gets Sohail with the one that turns. It is once again slower through the air on middle and off, it pitches and turns away a little. Sohail is half forward as he tries to defend, the ball goes past the outside edge and clips the off stump. Sohail can't believe he has been knocked over and stands his ground. The umpires take it upstairs though and replays show that Sohail has to take the long walk back. Pakistan in a spot of bother now. 65/3

20.1 OUT! Hafeez holes out! Rashid gets his first, that too on a full toss. Hafeez will be gutted with himself. He should have hit that over the fence. He uses his feet and then hits it hard but flat down to long off. Shah there does not make a mistake. A budding partnership has been cut short. 100/4

37.5 OUT! Nabi gets another! The century stand has been broken probably at the right time. Malik probably picks the wrong side, he looks to clear the longest part of the ground but fails to do so. Steps down the track and Nabi slows it up outside off. Malik look to go with the turn but his bat turns in his hands. It goes straight towards Zadran at deep mid-wicket who does not spill it. Afghanistan need to keep taking wickets if they are to stem the run flow. 203/5

40.3 OUT! That is why he was so confident. Sarfaraz is short. Lightning quick work from Shahzad. Rashid has the last laugh. This is flatter and it is just behind the driving length on off. Sarfaraz lunges and looks to tap and run but is beaten by the turn away. He also seems to have dragged his back leg out while doing so. Shahzad whips the bails off and appeals. The umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show SA is short. Into the bowling all-rounders are Afghanistan. 220/6

47.5 OUT! Imad is short! Poor by him, he did not make a real effort to get in. He was very casual there. Pakistan have been bowled out with 13 balls to spare. A yorker outside off, it is jammed out to short third man. They go for a run. Alam there hits bull's eye at the striker's end. An appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that is the end of the Pakistan's innings and they END WITH 262! 262/10

46.2 OUT! Very, very good catch there by Shah! Six and out for Hasan. He looks to repeat the shot he played on the very first ball but this time he does not get the distance. Shah there judges it nicely, keeps an eye on the rope behind. Takes it with two hands, then realizes he is losing balance. Throws it up in the air, steps outside, then comes in and takes it. He does touch the rope once but that is after releasing the ball. 253/8

47.1 OUT! In the air... taken! Shadab does not last for long. Full and on middle, it is the slower one. Shadab looks to go downtown but is way too early in the shot. He hits it high up in the air towards mid-wicket where Shinwari takes a dolly. 259/9

11.1 OUT! In the air... and what a catch there by Malik. What a return for Shadab, he strikes on his very first ball in his comeback game. Zazai falls one short of a half ton. The googly probably, it is fuller and on middle. Zazai looks to go against the spin, in the area he loves, over mid-wicket. Gets a top edge, it goes high up in the air towards the deep there. Mailk makes good ground to his right and takes a sliding catch. End of an entertaining innings from Zazai. He has got Afghanistan to a very good start. It will be interesting to see which team capitalizes now. 80/1

19.5 OUT! Shah loses his focus. A short delivery on leg, Shah tries to pull it towards fine leg but gets a little glove and the ball settles in the hands of skipper Sarfaraz. Much-needed wicket for Pakistan. The bowling change foes the trick. Shah departs after getting off to a start. 119/2

30.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Shinwari falls in the trap. Sarfaraz had brought his fielders on the off side closer. Also, Imad continued bowling it outside off. SS looks to go over those fielders but the length was not there to do so. He ends up chipping it to covers where Khan takes an easy catch. A well-deserved wicket for Imad. 95 more needed with 7 wickets in hand. 168/3

32.5 OUT! TIMBER! Two in two overs for Imad Wasim! Poor shot selection from Afghan. The big hit was just not needed. Afghan comes down the track and looks to go with the angle. He ends up yorking himself though. The ball goes under the bat and hits the stumps behind. Game very evenly poised now. 178/4

46.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There goes Nabi, however, one feels, it is a little too late. Slower one and outside off, Nabi goes after it away from his body but only gets an outside edge to the keeper who takes it. 19 needed in 22. 244/5

47.2 OUT! TIMBER! Pakistan are still in this! 16 from 16 now. What a corker of a yorker this is. On middle and it tails away. Naib looks to jam it out but plays down the wrong line. Knocks out the off pole. Pakistan would love 4 more deliveries like this. 247/6

47.5 OUT! No inside edge and it is umpire's call! Two in the over for Riaz and he has brought Pakistan back into the contest. Another one of those inswinging yorkers. Zadran looks to work it on the leg side but misses. Gets his on the pads. An appeal and the umpire raises the finger. The batsman reviews but replays show that the on-field call is the right one. He has to walk back but Afghanistan do not lose the review. 14 more needed 13. Game on! 249/7
