    6.6 huge appeal, and he's given! After an over of flighted deliveries, Williams fires in a quicker one that rushes on with the arm, beating the sweep and striking him flush on the pad. The umpire upholds the lbw appeal, but Gurbaz queries it with a review. The ball's pretty close to the gloves as it goes through, and once again Masudur Rahman the television umpire has a very difficult decision to make. UltraEdge seems to indicate there is no bat involved, and ball tracking confirms the umpire's call! 60/2
    5.4 sliced, skied, and caught! Zazai, who has been somewhat overshadowed by Gurbaz, targets a big hit over the leg side. But the ball is angled across him, and it flies off the outside half of the blade, looping up to be easily caught by Williams in the covers. Some relief for Zimbabwe after a rapid opening stand 57/1
    11.2 stops at the batsman who was shaping up for a cut, ends up hitting it in the air towards extra cover where Ndlovu makes no mistake, moving to his left 80/3
    13.2 fuller on the stumps and Asghar once again looks to repeat the shot. However, he only gets the height on this one, not the distance. Ryan Burl settles under it at long-on and pouches it as it comes down after ages 90/4

    19.6 in the blockhole, almost a yorker at the leg stump, Nabi was deep in his crease, lofts it towards long-on with that big bottom hand but doesn't get enough to clear Burl who times his hop and takes it 197/5

    3.4 spliced to midwicket, and Hazratullah holds a simple catch. Fine leg was inside the circle, and Taylor was targeting that region. But the ball just got big on him, and he spooned a simple catch in front of square, off the splice. Early joy for Afghanistan, and early strife for Zimbabwe 30/2
    2.5 run out! Oh dear. Masakadza inside edges a flick to leg and the ball rolls to midwicket. Taylor wants a single and calls immediately, but Hamilton hesitates for a moment before setting off. It's a fatal pause, as the throw comes in flat, hard and accurate to catch him short 25/1
    6.3 big appeal, and given! Ervine stepped across to off and set himself for a paddle scoop, but it was too full and hit him on the heel of his shoe. Janat bellows an appeal, and it's upheld. Ervine converses with his team-mate, and then appears to gesture something - possibly asking for a review? - but it's too late. He's out of time, and out of luck. It was almost certainly out, too 44/4
    3.6 another one goes! A rising delivery outside off, and Williams pushes out at it. It was too close to him to cut, and the movement took it away from him once again. A simple edge nestles in Gurbaz' gloves, and Zimbabwe are in all sorts of trouble now 30/3
    11.6 length ball outside off, Mutombodzi goes for the slog sweep but fails to middle it and it stands up towards midwicket where Tarakai comes in to take the catch 81/5

    17.1 a slower loopy full toss outside, Madziva gives charge but is early into the shot. Also he had moved a touch towards the leg side and hence, had to reach out for it, ends up slicing it towards point where Nabi takes an easy catch 141/7
