Chameera to Asghar Stanikzai, 1 run, another one of those slow legcutters on off, played away quietly to point
Alex: "If Afghanistan are going to beat a Test side, they're going to have to play out of their comfort zone. Go for it now!"
13.5
Chameera to Samiullah Shenwari, 1 run, overpitched this time, drilled to the sweeper cover. Great timing
13.4
Chameera to Asghar Stanikzai, 1 run, another legcutter outside off, chopped to point for one
Ganesh Tiwari: "2 sixes and Afghanistan arises like the Phoenix from the ashes...95 in 15 overs make the game.. I reckon 130 is defendable."
13.4
Chameera to Asghar Stanikzai, 1 wide, too high this time. Stanikzai was anticipating that length, stayed back and tried to connect with his pull but couldn't
Iqbal : "It is a huge ask but if Afghanistan somehow manages 140 it would be game on! "
13.3
Chameera to Asghar Stanikzai, no run, good bouncer again from Dushmantha. Forces Stanikzai under
Arvind: "Stay, rotate the strike and settle in until the 15th over and then go bonkers for the last 5. 50 off the last 5 should get their bowlers something to bowl at."
