9.6 overs (0 Run) Serves a flatter ball, on middle. Defended out.
DRINKS! The Afghanistan opening pair of Mohammad Shahzad and Hazratullah Zazai got them off to an absolute flier. Shahzad fell but Zazai still went after the bowlers and now, with him being dismissed at the halfway mark, it's an opportunity for Scotland to make further inroads. The innings is set up for a mouth-watering second half. Also, Najibullah Zadran is the new man in.
9.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! TIMBER! Scotland needed that very badly as the dangerous Zazai goes back! Watt who actually is a spinner serves it on 107 clicks and nails his yorker angling on middle. Hazratullah Zazai gets beaten by the pace. He gets an inside edge as he looks to jam it out and the ball ricochets it back on the wooden sticks behind.
9.4 overs (0 Run) Tossed up on middle. Zazai mistimes his hit back to the bowler.
9.3 overs (2 Runs) Full and slanting on middle. Zazai heaves it to deep mid-wicket for another couple.

Mark Watt (1-0-2-0) is brought back into the attack.
9.1 overs (0 Run) Full and on middle, pushed to mid-wicket.
8.6 overs (2 Runs) In the air but safe! A short ball, on middle, another slower ball. Hazratullah Zazai is too early on his pull shot and gets a top edge to deep backward square leg. The fielder runs to his right, runs over but does well to stop it. Two runs taken. 12 coming of it.
8.5 overs (2 Runs) A length ball, slower and on middle. Zazai reads the pace and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.
8.4 overs (1 Run) On a length, on off, drilled down to long on for one.
8.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Full and way outside off. Left alone.
8.3 overs (2 Runs) Easy two! A length ball, on off, pushed down to wide long off for a brace.
8.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Now Gurbaz attacks! A short ball, on middle. Gurbaz attacks as he comes down the pitch, pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket and bags himself a boundary.
Josh Davey (1-0-8-0) is back into the attack.
8.1 overs (0 Run) A slower length ball, on middle. Gurbaz defends it out.
7.6 overs (1 Run) Touch short and outside off. Gurbaz cuts it to point for a single.
7.5 overs (2 Runs) On the pads, tucked to mid-wicket for a brace. Good running.
7.4 overs (0 Run) Tossed up, full and on off. Gurbaz looks to defend it out. The ends up chipping back to the bowler, but it lands just short of Chris Greaves.
7.3 overs (1 Run) Short and on off. Zazai pulls it to mid-wicket for a single. The fielder collects the ball, but does not realise the batters are taking a single, unless he gets a shout from his keeper. In the end, the batter was well inside the crease.
7.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! BANG! But this time he connects well. Full and around off. Zazai gets low and slog-sweeps it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
7.1 overs (0 Run) Flatter and outside off, spinning away. Zazai hangs back and looks to cut it away but misses.
Change. Chris Greaves is into the action.

6.4 overs (0 Run) Three dots on the trot! Full and on middle. Gurbaz comes forward and defends it back to the bowler.
6.3 overs (0 Run) Flighted, full and on off. Gurbaz defends it onto the pitch.
6.2 overs (0 Run) A dot now! Loopy ball, full and on off. Gurbaz pushes it to mid on. The fielder there moves to his left and makes a good stop.
6.1 overs (1 Run) Floated, full and on off. Zazai pushes it to long on for a single.
Spin into the action as Mark Watt rolls his fingers now.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz walks out at number 3.
5.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! A good come back by Safyaan Sharif. He draws the first blood. This is the breakthrough they were looking for and what a time to strike. A full-length ball, on off. Shahzad flicks it uppishly towards deep mid-wicket looking to deal in boundaries, but this time he finds the man in the deep. Chris Greaves settles under it in the deep and grabs the catch. Scotland will look to make inroads with the momentum.
5.4 overs (1 Run) A length ball, around off. Zazai pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
5.3 overs (1 Run) Good-length ball, on leg. Shahzad makes room and flicks it to mid-wicket for a single.
5.2 overs (2 Runs) Full length, on off. Shahzad stays inside the crease and throws his bat at it. The ball goes over point. The batters take two before the fielder cuts it out.
5.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Shahzad is racing with his partner it seems. A length ball, outside off. Shahzad looks to chase it. The ball takes the outside edge and goes past the keeper into the boundary at third man. 50 is up for Afghanistan.
