Campbell to Shafiqullah, no run, tickled fine to square leg
14.5
Campbell to Najibullah Zadran, 2 runs, OUT, beautifully driven in the gap past cover for two. But they want a third and that could be out. Noor Ali labours back for the third and is short of his ground. Atkinson collects cleanly and uproots all three stumps from the ground. Great throw from mid-off, right end too. HK have two quick wickets. Too little, too late, surely?

Noor Ali Zadran run out 35 (37b 2x4 0x6) SR: 94.59
14.4
Campbell to Najibullah Zadran, no run, tossed up on off, blocked
 

Najibullah gets a promotion as well

 
14.3
Campbell to Mohammad Nabi, OUT, looking for the massive slog but misses. Nabi isn't too happy but he has to go. Flat delivery on middle, Nabi misses the heave and the stumps are rattled. Decent cameo though

Mohammad Nabi b Campbell 17 (11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 154.54
14.2
Campbell to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR, quality batting from Nabi. backs away, picks his spot, gets a low full toss and drives it easily over cover.
14.1
Campbell to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR, lovely shot. Shimmies down but the ball is short, he swats it away with ease over midwicket. Lands a foot inside the boundary. Great execution
 

Zafar: "AFG no need to consider NRR. They have to beat ZIM anyway." If it rains?
