Wicket! Caught By Afsar Zazai. No Run. Duck Duck Go! Still on zero after 6 balls! Great bowl and catch! 3rd too soon! Slower ball around middle and leg, Brian hit the ball with little low elevation to the short mid wicket which was a very dangerous and wrong move for him and there Afsar Zazai stands and he completes a good catch for a wicket at 0

Naseer Khan Maroofkhil to Innocent Kaia
LBW!. No Run. Oh no! 4 runs only and he is going to complete his century! A very big and major blood for Afghanistan! 2nd Down! Huge partnership broken! Appeal placed and umpire signalled finger up for a wicket at massive 96 at 167 balls. Tossed ball around middle and off, Kaia went to touch the ball but was totally wrong with the correct line of sight and timing and the ball then misses on the front pads for nothing but lbw out after the appeal
