DRINKS! Zazai and Shahzad motored along really well at the start for Afghanistan, but the former slipped out and since then the runs have been coming in gradually. But at the brink of drinks Gurbaz lost his wicket as well. From 50-0 after the Powerplay, Afghanistan see themseleves at 68/2. This shows you that Namibia has made a great comeback in the game. They would hope to get a couple more wickets to put Afghanistan on the backfoot.
