OUT! Caught. Kyle Jarvis to Rahmat Shah. Length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Ervine. Unselfish from Rahmat, trying to clear the boundary to get as many runs for his team as he can, but he miscues it down the throat of long off.
Utter carnage in those last seven or eight overs. Some very wayward bowling combined with destructive batting has boosted Afghanistan up to a mammoth total. Rahmat Shah struck a marvellous century, and Najibullah Zadran provided a wonderful cameo also. Cremer the only man to be happy with his work with the ball. It will be a very tough chase for the visitors, but see how they fare after the interval.

The trend of the T20Is have continued into the ODIs. Afghanistan have completely trounced Zimbabwe there. Smashed them round the park with the bat, and deceived them regularly with the ball. The hosts start the five match series with a huge win. See if Zimbabwe can bounce back in the second game on Sunday.

Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 1 run, fielded by Ahmadzai, appeal made for Caught.

No evidence suggests otherwise, so they stick with that decision.
