    5.6 Slower one creates a drag on! Ferguson is pumped! 122ks legcutter on a fullish length outside off, drifts in and then goes with the angle. Gurbaz looks to push it through cover, got an inside edge that made a mess of the stumps, leg particularly 44/2
    5.1 Ferguson strikes first ball with a poor delivery. Is there such a thing in T20s? Short and wide, 136ks, cut hard but straight to Phillips at point. He's standing just in front of the crease, so straighter, and closer than usual. Ball went off the bottom of the bat, replay shows 35/1
    17.2 Six and out? Keeper takes it. Santner smiles a touch. That hung in the air for a while, Seifert walked down the side of the pitch, kept his eyes on it and took it around chest-height. This was also there to be hit. On a length outside off, Naib tried to go across the line. Low swipe, got a top edge 156/4
    14.3 Short ball is ballooned to the keeper. Slower one at 125ks banged in just outside off. Atal wanted to pull but didn't go through with the shot. Top edge went a few feet behind the keeper, who took it easily 123/3
    18.1 Taken at deep midwicket. That was as flat as hits get. Decent pull from Rasooli, from around rib-height, got it low to Phillips' right. NZ don't celebrate as they're slightly behind on over rate 164/5
    19.6 Wide on a shortish length. Another slower one. Cut to deep cover's right. Throw on the bounce to the bowler, who whips off the bails and the smart replay shows Omarzai is short 182/6

    12.5 Six, six, four and out! Nabi goes much quicker this time, 100ks. Not that short, on leg stump. Seifert got back in the crease, crouched and swivelled for the pull. Couldn't get on top of it properly and top edged it to deep-backward square leg 124/4
    1.3 Middle and leg in a mess, Mujeeb wheels away pumping the air and roaring. Allen almost smashed the turf after missing the pull. He went for the shot because of length, it was back of, but skidded through to rush him. Released from the front of the hand. Allen had cleared the front leg, so there was no second line of defence. 14/1
    1.4 Jaffa, beats the defence and Rachin has a golden duck! Mujeeb does his Imrah Tahir impression by rushing into the outfield at suare leg, high fives galore. Was a seam-up length ball swinging in. Ravindra looked to punch it straight and was beaten completely. Top of middle hit 14/2
    9.2 Rashid has the last laugh against Phillips, last roar too. A few of them before that. Change of ends for Rashid. That was a slot ball, very full and just outside off. Phillips showed all his stumps, cleared his front leg and looked to slap it through cover. Inside edged it back onto the stumps 88/3
    15.4 Afghanistan get the opening, but is it too late? Hit Straight to cover. Chapman made a lot of room, looked to drive the full ball on leg stump. Couldn't loft it properly and found Rashid 155/5
