Short and attacking the bodyline with an inward angle on a length, Azmatullah Omarzai is caught in an awkward position and takes the eyes off the ball, taking the gloves and flies past the diving leg slip fielder where Heinrich Klaasen almost gets his hands to it and races away to the boundary in the deep. |

Afghanistan have been bowled |

| 4.3 : 4.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Streaky and these will hurt Afghanistan a lot! Hard length and around off, nips back in sharply and with extra bounce, Aiden Markram tries to play at it but gets an inside edge as the ball rolls away to the fine leg fence for a boundary. |
