1.1
Fazalhaq Farooqi to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! LBW! What a start for Afghanistan as Fazalhaq Farooqi strikes with his first delivery! An early blow for England in the run chase. Fazalhaq Farooqi begins from over the wicket and gets the ball to shape into the right-hander, on the leg-stump line. Jonny Bairstow gets on the front foot but does not account for the inward movement and misses the clip. Gets pinged low on the front pad and up goes the finger! Jonny Bairstow goes for the review almost immediately. The UltraEdge shows no bat and on Ball Tracking the impact is umpire's call as is wickets. The on-field decision will stand and Jonny Bairstow will have to walk back.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Joe Root, FOUR! A gift for Joe Root to get off the mark! Fazalhaq Farooqi goes searching for the magical delivery but delivers it a bit too straight, on the pads, on a length, Joe Root plays it late and tickles it fine to the fine leg fence for his first boundary.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Joe Root, OUT! TIMBER!. Mujeeb Ur Rahman gets the big fish! England in a spot of bother as they lose Joe Root now. Offers flight and bowls it slightly fuller, angling in, on off and middle, Joe Root misjudged the length and goes back on the back foot to a full delivery. He pays the price as the ball skids on off the deck and sneaks under the bat before crashing into the stumps. Joe Root indicates that the ball kept low before he starts to make the long walk back. Afghanistan are delighted and so they should be.

Rashid Khan to Liam Livingstone, OUT! LBW! Rashid Khan gets into the act now as he gets the wicket of Liam Livingstone! England in all sorts of trouble as they have lost half their side now. Tosses it up, quicker through the air, full and on off, Liam Livingstone lunges forward and reaches out in front to turn it on the leg side. Gets beaten in the flight and plays down the wrong line as well. Gets pinged on the front pad and the umpire has no hesitation in raising the finger. Liam Livingstone goes for the review, more in hope though. The UltraEdge shows no spike and it is three reds on Ball Tracking. England lose Livingstone and the review.
