Pakistan finish with 141 and struggled for the most part to dominate as Afghanistan's spinners kept them on the backfoot and runs were hard to come by. There was no partnership that lasted long but some resistance from Salman and Nawaz has given them a respectable - and possibly defendable - total. Afghanistan have a tendency to implode under pressure as well but they've done exceptionally well in the first half
Muhammad Mohsin: "Smelling a nailbitter!"
Hemant G: "Every time they hit a six...they lose a wicket the very next ball"
Hamid: "Looking at the positives, Faheem and Nawaz have really taken off with this intent philosophy. Utility players down the orders with quickfire 15-20 runs is the modern way. "

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 1 bye, last ball of the innings. A short of a length ball around the line off, unable to connect and they sneak a bye. Well-done Afghanistan; it's been a complete bowling performance and, as expected, spinners dominated the proceedings
