Hamza to Moor, Tossed up on middle and leg, the ball rips past the outside edge of Moor and clatters into off stump.
Not much Moor could have done about that, a beautiful delivery, the right pace and flight.

Nabi to Chigumbura, Big, big wicket this. Tosses it up on middle, Elton tries to whip to leg side misses completely.

The ball sneaks through and hits the stumps. Nabi is ecstatic. The big wicket for Afghanistan there, the bowling change has worked.

Wow, what a fightback by Afghanistan after being rattled out for 131. 2015 has been a very good year for Afghanistan, winning 16 and losing 11. They are progressing in the right direction.
