2.4 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and then the in-dipper! This is good bowling from Craig Young. Fullish length, just around off, and perhaps a shade of movement back off the seam, but Gurbaz has played all over it. Looks to press forward and drive, but in the process leaves a substantial gap between bat and pad. The death rattle behind him tells him it's time to go. He'll live and learn from errors like these. 32/1
4.3 to Javed Ahmadi, length, around off, and he takes the invitation to go over mid-off. This has gone higher than far, though, and Mark Adair goes back and takes a superb catch over his left shoulder! A bit of a rush of blood for Ahmadi, who had already extracted eight from two balls, and in trying to make it 12 from three, has ended up offering the Irish a chance, that they take beautifully. Credit to Young as well, for continuing to hit a good length despite the boundary off the previous ball. Adair caught that while tracking back, and over his head, with his hands extended beyond his head. 44/2
4.5 to Rahmat Shah, Shah is gone! Length ball, outside off, and he looks to go for the drive, but ends up skewing it towards point. Tector leaps to his right and times his jump perfectly, getting both hands on it, to end Shah's stay. He looks on in disbelief, and then starts to drag himself across the ground. 44/3
705207.42184230
1022212.20481020
11.6 to Hashmatullah Shahidi, gone this time! The field placements work, as McBrine gets this to pitch around off and bite sharply. Hashmatullah Shahidi is looking to defend, but it flies off the edge, and the man at second slip, now stationed at short gully, is Balbirnie himself. Sharp catch taken. 66/4
712713.85284000
48.1 to Rashid Khan, dropped short, and he looks to slap this over mid-off, but cannot clear him! Little comes around the wicket, and bowls that slower-ball bouncer into the pitch. Rashid goes back and across, and perhaps would have earned himself a wide if he had left that lone. Plonked to the man at mid-off, just to his right. 244/9
1013733.70381210
26.5 to Mohammad Nabi, moves back and plays down the wrong line, strikes the pad and appeal for lbw turned down. Ireland reviews. Ultra edge shows no spike. 3 reds and the umpire has to revise his decision. Nabi has to go.. 117/5
34.5 to Asghar Afghan, down the wicket, and holed out to deep mid-wicket! This is clever bowling from Simi Singh. He has put enough pressure with a sequence of dots. Gets this one to hang out a little around off, and invites the lofted drive from Afghan. I think the captain was trying to go straighter, but ended up turning his bat during the shot. Easy catch in the end for the sweeper out in the deep. 162/6
43.2 to Gulbadin Naib, GOT 'IM THIS TIME! That's a crucial wicket at this stage. Simi gets this to start from closer to off stump, and then turns in. Naib shapes to play down the wicket -- nothing wrong with his shot selection per se -- but is perhaps surprised by both the turn and the pace at which it comes through. Goes between bat and pad and strikes the top of middle. Simi Singh lets out a little pump of the fist in celebration. 210/8
805216.50294330
35.2 to Najibullah Zadran, oh dear! What a shot from Zadran. Goes for the reverse sweep off the first ball he faces from Tector. It goes off his gloves and pops up to the left of slip, where Stirling has the easiest of catches to complete. 163/7

47.1 to AR McBrine, round the wicket and strikes the pad in line, was there an inside edge, loud appeal and given. Ireland review. Nothing on ultra edge. Ball tracker has everything on red.. 230/10
1004324.30372220
5.6 to JA McCollum, this is closer. Gets one to straighten from around off. McCollum is looking to stretch and defend, and has been struck in front. Given out leg before, and they run out of time while discussing it. Not much wrong with the decision, I reckon. Perhaps didn't turn as much as he anticipated, which is why he ended up playing outside the line. Would have gone on to hit leg stump. 29/1
36.1 to PR Stirling, Mujeeb strikes, fires in a quicker delivery and wasn't that short, goes for the pull and inside edges onto the stumps.. 187/5
1005315.30302201
9.5 to A Balbirnie, this is an interesting one. Looks to go for the sweep, and is given out caught behind from the look of things. Balbirnie considers a review, but decides against it. Very fine under-edge, as he looks to sweep from outside off, and Gurbaz takes it low. Sharp work from the wicketkeeper, and Nabi strikes an important blow. 62/2

20.4 to HT Tector, gets him with the googly, goes back to a fuller delivery and misses it. The stumps are rattled. Rashid strikes.. 123/3
28.6 to C Campher, Rashid picks up his second, Camper moves forward and pushes in the air and Hashmatullah moves forward and takes it low down in front of him.. 149/4
38.3 to LJ Tucker, strikes with a googly, misses the slog sweep and the stumps are rattled.. 196/6
46.6 to CA Young, Rashid strikes once again, googly to Young and he plays down the wrong line and the gate opens to strike the stumps. Rashid picks up his fourth.. 230/9
