End of over 19 (15 runs) Afghanistan 173/5 (RR: 9.10)

Mohammad Nabi52 (31b 4x4 2x6)
Najibullah Zadran0 (0b 0x4 0x6)
DT Tiripano3-0-41-1
T Panyangara4-0-32-3
18.6
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, 2 runs, whips through to wide long-on and Nabi huffs and puffs to get across for a second. Searing heat in Nagpur, and Nabi's been out there for what seems like ages turning around a flagging Afghanistan innings
18.5
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR, Tiripano summons a yorker, but he has to stand there and watch it go to the boundary behind the keeper. Shahzad calls for the ball to come through and leads the applause for Nabi's fifty
18.5
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, 1 wide, Nabi moves across outside off to try and lap sweep the ball, misses and the umpire decides that's a wide. Pretty tight call. But Shahzad loves it, he's clapping his hands sore
18.5
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, 5 wides, five wides, that is awful stuff from Zimbabwe. Full toss wanders down leg and ends up at the fine leg boundary
18.4
Tiripano to Samiullah Shenwari, OUT, length ball, big slog, mistimed, caught at deep midwicket. But the lack of celebrations seem to indicate Zimbabwe seem to know what's up against them

Samiullah Shenwari c Sibanda b Tiripano 43 (37b 4x4 1x6) SR: 116.21
18.3
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, 1 bye, and now they sneak a bye too. Mutumbami dives to his left to try and stop the ball going for any more. Good length ball cuts through Nabi's big heave, the gap between bat and pad is exploited, and yet the batting team is the one that benefits
18.2
Tiripano to Samiullah Shenwari, 1 run, he's managed to make just enough contact with the reverse sweep off a near-yorker. Single to point, and Sami indulges in a little tonk on his own helmet
18.1
Tiripano to Mohammad Nabi, 1 leg bye, spears it into the pads, as full as he can, especially with the batsman making room. Leg bye
 

Hafiz: "Last 5 overs 67/0 what a great batting Nabi & Shenwari..."
