1.3 to Javed Ahmadi, given! Was that pitching in line? It swung in and smacked him on the front pad, which was thrust halfway forward and across to play through the on side. They've reviewed it. Hits on the knee-roll, or just above. Nowhere near the inside edge. It's pitching in line, and it's clipping the top of leg stump, so Ahmadi has to go. 5/1
8.2 to Asghar Afghan, gone! Goes after another shortish ball outside off. The shot was on, he was looking for the uppercut, but didn't get the elevation and ended up hitting a comfortable catch to Guptill at the squarer of two gullies. 24/3
41.1 to Dawlat Zadran, taken! It was a fuller ball, bowled from around the wicket, and Dawlat went for a bit of a slog. Only manages an outside edge that gives Ronchi a simple take. 151/8
1041841.80482000
2.1 to Usman Ghani, bowled him! That's a beauty, full, and it drifts in the air, into the batsman, continues along that angle after pitching, and sneaks into the gap that's opened up between the bat and pad of Ghani, who was playing for the turn. 6/2
15.1 to Nawroz Mangal, bowled him, that's Vettori's 300th! You don't want to cut him unless he's really short and wide. He's neither here, and he made a bit of room, and the ball kept coming in with the angle and knocked back his off stump. 12th bowler in ODIs to reach the landmark, and the first New Zealander. 49/4
19.4 to Mohammad Nabi, that's Vettori's third. Nabi goes on the back foot to punch, it bounces more than he expects, and the ball takes his outside edge, well taken by Taylor at slip, that went quickly to him, to his right. 59/5
19.5 to Afsar Zazai, and he's gone first ball! Quicker ball from Vettori, and it pins Zazai to the crease, tries to bring his bat down in a hurry to defend it, couldn't bring it down quickly enough. Ball goes with the arm and smacks him on the front pad. I'm not sure that was hitting leg stump, but the umpire thought it was. No reviews left for Afghanistan. Hawkeye says clipping, I'm not convinced.. 59/6
1003813.80415040
38.3 to Najibullah Zadran, oh, he's found third man and it's Danny down there! Seemed a good shot, and a good plan. Backs away to get some room to help a short ball up and over. Decent enough contact too, but he is unable to clear the man on the boundary. Simple catch. 145/7
6.403825.70265130
45.2 to Samiullah Shinwari, shortish, not quite short enough to pull. It's too close to his hip and he ends up spooning a simple catch to Taylor at square leg. Gets a standing ovation from the crowd as he walks off.. 166/9
47.4 to Hamid Hassan, Adam Milne, whatacatch! Saw him coming down the track and shortened his length, and Hassan miscued his slog, went in the air to the right of long-on and he took it low, diving to his right, and he was holding his right shoulder when he came up after taking the catch. May have hurt it while he rolled over. 186/10

18.4 to KS Williamson, picked out midwicket! Shapoor was brought back for this express reason and he has managed to lure a false stroke out. Williamson has been in such good form that he jumps into a pull too soon and miscues it. Minor opening found. Can Afghanistan break through?. 111/2

5.5 to BB McCullum, nope, this is the knockout! It's quicker, it's fuller and McCullum went for another pull. Poor choice of shot as he gets the bottom of the inside edge, deflects it onto his pads and then into the stumps. 53/1
