8.14pm Good comeback by Ireland at the end but Mohammad Nabi's incredible 81 off 36 has given Afghanistan a very good total. It's not as imposing as the second game, but 210 for 7 would generally be considered a winning score. Nabi played an incredible knock, punching and driving with elan. "The pitch is a bit slow from the last match," says Nabi. "I've been in good form since the Big Bash. We rotated the strike very well and when we thought the ball was coming on to the bat, we took charge."

Join us for the chase shortly, where Sreshth will be with you.

Chase to Rashid Khan, 1 run, great ball to finish, pitches outside leg and hits him on the pads. He appeals but it pitched outside. They run through for a leg bye

Chase to Sharafuddin Ashraf, 1 run, pacier ball that time, length ball on leg stump, and Rashid punches it to deep midwicket. Refuses the single though

Chase to Rashid Khan, 1 run, slower ball again, and Rashid gets a thick outside edge that bounces to short third man. He's really nailing these back-of-hand slower balls
