Sorry to be a downer lads, but this game is now out of our reach. It's gone

Nope. This wicket is an absolute road, if everyone bats to their potential we can chase down +300.

Against spin? I doubt it.

Yea 300, not 350..

I am actually buzzing for the Afghans. What a powerhouse they're going to be in a few years! Having seen some of the under 19's recently I can't believe how much depth they have. Really am a fan. They play their cricket so fearlessly

You have to give the Afghans some credit here. They were very patient during the middle overs and they rotated the strike well. Now they are just taking full advantage of some terrible bowling.

Has anyone got a decent link for me? Ta

Tell me about it. Those saying they're just sloggers need to take a look at this kid batting

It ain't turning and the Afghans will have to deal with the dew factor also.
