1.6 Massive breakthrough, Ireland draw first blood! The swashbuckling opener departs after coming down the pitch and larruping it straight to the man at mid-off, shortish and wide with a hint of away movement 16/1

38.4 got him! The skid off the pitch has led to his dismissal. Zadran was looking to get whip that through midwicket but the ball beat the inside edge and deflected off his pad onto the stumps. A mammoth partnership has been broken much to Ireland's relief. 247/2

42.5 landed full and wide of off, fetches it from outside off and lowered his center of mass before unleashing a powerful slog downtown but holes out to long-on, not quite under it and nearly misses out on 150 but what a spellbinding knock, one for the memory-vault, he went down and leant at it to guide it downtown, picks out Adair 285/3

44.4 got a lot of height, sent miles into the clear skies and it sits up nicely for Sitrling to take a neat and nifty catch at cover; his rampage comes to an end, too much leg-side as he tried to club it over covers, ball rose sharply and he was unable to get on top of it, tough shot to manufacture. Up next is Rashid Khan! He can certainly whack a few out of the park 310/4

46.2 Did not go the distance. Touch short and swirling in from fifth stump line, jabbed away to break free and hasn't got all of it, gets his third wicket as the fielder comes in from deep extra cover and hangs onto it brilliantly, timely wicket 324/5

47.5 Length ball or thereabouts, tempts him with width, he gets lured and throws the kitchen sink at it, gets a faint edge to the keeper, big wicket, still two overs left so he could have done substantial damage, smartly bowled, frustrated him by keeping it far away from him, he went across to fetch it and got beaten 335/6

48.4 Dug in short on fifth stump line, makes room and tonked inside-out but hasn't got the distance, hit him high on the blade and taken safely by Stirling, safe as a house. It's been a procession in last five overs or so, they have a tendency to lose wickets in cluster 338/7

49.2 Around the wicket, slung down fuller and outside off, connected to midwicket, trying to scamper back for a brace, pushing hard and Ghazanfar is short of his ground, does well to keep Shahidi on strike, well short of the crease at non-striker's end, Adair does very well to whip off the bails quickly 341/8

49.6 Thumps it short and nibbles it back at middle and off, gets in a tangle and attempts to full, ending up nicking it through to the keeper 343/9

40.1 swept straight down deep midwicket's throat. Balbirnie's stellar show is over, but one he'll look back on with mixed emotions. He made the cardinal sin of looking to sweep against the turn from well outside off, generated no power behind the stroke. Ended up to be a tame catch to the boundary rider. 215/5

10.3 oh, action straightaway as spin does the trick! Afghanistan reap the rewards for exacerbating pressure, good-ish length and viciously tails back in at middle, he plays down the wrong line, looking to drive it down and beaten by the guile and sharp turn, massive appeal in unison for an lbw, not much doubt and umpire had to raise his finger, plumb in front, off he goes 48/1

11.3 Ahmadzai has the last laugh! Stood outside the crease and jammed his bat down to punch it in the V but the ball jagged back and went through the gate, rattled the stumps, top of off, and his ebullience comes to an end. What a brute of a delivery, Afghanistan making further inroads! 53/2

27.2 he has holed out to deep backward square leg! He fetches this from outside off but the ball gets big on him, so there's no timing or power behind the stoke. Easiest of catches. 129/3

30.4 Wrecks his stumps! Looking to take him on, the finest spinner and his middle-stump is flattened. Rashid does Rashid things. Over the wicket and he bowls on a length, googly turns in sharply, he looked to whack it over midwicket and got beaten by the guilde, flight and was early through the shot 142/4

47.1 over the wicket, full-length and lured him with the width, he had to and he does, loses his shape and the bat turned in his hand as he mistimes it, spoons it to cover and there goes the last glimmer of hope for Ireland, was very wide and he tried to jab it away, did well to keep it away from his swinging range and got the reward, smartly bowled but what an innings, full of authority and tremendous fight 292/9

40.2 got him with a flipper! This pitches on a length around middle stump and zips though to have Calitz getting a thin under edge onto the stumps He was surprised by the pace at which it kept coming at him. 215/6

43.1 short and wide outside off, he backs sway and slaps this straight to the man at the sweeper cover boundary. Easy catch. 247/7

44.1 Over the wicker, darted short on off, stood straight and zoned out, nothing shot just lifts in the air and gets caught at cover. Tried to mow it down the ground and it soared up quickly, tried to break the jail and miscued in the air, bundling out quickly now meeting the predictable fate 256/8

47.6 Slower on a length and stumps-to-stumps, final breakthrough as it's been taken inches inside the rope at deep midwicket, he wanted to slam it over midwicket and doesn't have the requisite power behind, innocuous pace as well so that didn't help him either and Afghanistan finally put a lid on this game, handshakes all-around; third umpire doesn't have a lot of assistance available to check if the foot was in contact with the rope and they take fielder's word; not very consequential anyway 301/10
