Key Stats
41.3 George Dockrell to Najibullah Zadran
SIX! George Dockrell to Najibullah Zadran. Stock ball half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs.
41.2 George Dockrell to Gulbadin Naib
OUT! Caught & Bowled. George Dockrell to Gulbadin Naib. Stock ball half volley, to leg on the front foot working, leading edge back to bowler, by Dockrell. A consolation wicket for Ireland. No fifty for Gulbadin. He looks to turn it into the legside, but closes the bat too early. The ball pops up off the edge, and loops back into the hands of the bowler.
41.1 George Dockrell to Asghar Afghan
George Dockrell to Asghar Afghan. Stock ball half volley, to leg on the front foot working, to square leg for 1 run, fielded by McCollum.
40.6 Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib
FOUR! Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib. Full toss, to leg on the back foot pulling, Gloved past fine leg for 4 runs. Should have been called a no-ball on height, but nothing from the umpire. A huge beamer from Rankin, and Gulbadin manages to get some glove on it down the legside.
40.6 Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib
Over 41. 16 runs. Bowler: Boyd Rankin. Afghanistan: 4-152(rr 3.71)
40.5 Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib
SIX! Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Phwoar! That's a meaty blow from Gulbadin. Clears the front leg, and deposits it deep into the stands.

Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to short mid wicket for no runs, dropped catch by Dockrell. Put down. Ireland's chances are fading, and dropping catches won't help either. Struck sweetly from Gulbadin, but straight into the hands of short mid wicket. Dockrell should take it, but it bursts out.
40.1 Boyd Rankin to Gulbadin Naib

Simi Singh to Gulbadin Naib. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by McCarthy.

It's becoming very nervy out there now, though.
