Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Nawaz, Another dot to end the over! This is again on a hard length and on off, Mohammad Nawaz swings wildly at it but misses. There is a slight appeal for caught behind but the umpire remains unmoved.

Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Nawaz, A dot! This is on a hard length and on off, Mohammad Nawaz guides it but cannot beat point.

Fareed Ahmad to Mohammad Nawaz, FOUR! It's intentional but to get it that fine, you have to play with real soft hands. Fareed lands it on a good length outside off, at 138 clicks, Mohammad Nawaz opens the face and guides it past the diving keeper for a boundary at third man.

Mohammad Nawaz makes his way out to the middle and Pakistan will be hoping for another match-winning knock from him. Shadab Khan is on the floor and is getting stretched by the physios. The weather seems to be getting to the Pakistan players in this tournament. 

Fareed Ahmad to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan continue to fight and this is an important breakthrough as the partnership was taking the game away. Fareed Ahmad steams in from 'round the wicket and serves a short delivery outside off. It's on the slower side and Iftikhar Ahmed has to generate all the power behind his attempted pull shot. He fails to do so and is caught at deep mid-wicket by Ibrahim Zadran. 43 needed off 27 balls and this game is still wide open. 

Fareed Ahmad to Shadab Khan, This is on a good length and on off, Shadab Khan smashes it towards extra cover and sets off for a run, the fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses and Shadab gets home. A direct hit would have made things interesting.

Fareed Ahmad to Iftikhar Ahmed, Short delivery, on middle, Iftikhar Ahmed pulls it towards deep square leg for a single.

Rashid Khan to Shadab Khan, A bit short and on middle, Shadab Khan works it towards mid-wicket for one run.

Rashid Khan to Shadab Khan, Tossed up, short and on middle, turning away, Shadab Khan blocks it out. They should get a slip in place for Shadab.
