49.6 Zadran to Moeen, 1 run, boooooooooo it's only 397.

2:06 pm Well, here it is to shake you out from the funk of all the rain delays, this did it !!!
The kind of innings that was expected every other day this World Cup
142 runs in the last ten overs.
another record - most sixes by any team in an ODI
England held that previously with 24. They've hit 25 today.

The Afghanistan fans are getting louder and louder in the stands. They're not going to win this but it's a spirited performance from the team who are currently bottom of the World Cup table.

England won by 150 runs !
