Another wicket for Rashid Khan and the crowd go wild. It's another dot ball and it brings another new batsman to the crease in a high pressure scenario. How do Pakistan play these next three balls?

45.6 Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Asif Ali
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Asif Ali. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to short leg for no runs, fielded by Mohammadi. Great over from Mujeeb. Asif Ali can't get him away and the pressure increases on these batsmen as the rate climbs. They need a big over here from somewhere.
45.6 Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Asif Ali
Over 46. 3 runs. Bowler: Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Pakistan: 5-219(rr 4.76)

44.6 Gulbadin Naib to Sarfraz Ahmed
OUT! Bowled. Gulbadin Naib to Sarfraz Ahmed. Slower ball full toss, middle stump backing away cutting, missed to. Bowled! Sarfraz has missed a full toss! Trying to give himself room with both men square on the offside up in the ring. It was a slower ball though and once he was no longer in line with the ball it became difficult to hit. It cannoned into middle stump and another key moment in this game!
44.6 Gulbadin Naib to Sarfraz Ahmed
Over 45. 7 runs. Bowler: Gulbadin Naib. Pakistan: 5-216(rr 4.80)

43.6 Rashid Khan to Shoaib Malik
Rashid Khan to Shoaib Malik. Leg spinner back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Naib. At some point Pakistan must hit some boundaries to win this game. It looks like they will target the other bowlers though and take what they can off Rashid.

42.1 Aftab Alam to Sarfraz Ahmed
APPEAL! Aftab Alam to Sarfraz Ahmed. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Late Cut, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Mohammadi, appeal made for Caught. Big appeal! The ball looked like it deviated but maybe it just swung after the bat in the air? Nothing on UltraEdge, a good decision by the umpire.
41.6 Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Sarfraz Ahmed
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Sarfraz Ahmed. Quicker length ball, outside off stump on the front foot dropped, to point for 1 run, fielded by Nabi.

41.1 Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Haris Sohail
OUT! Caught. Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Haris Sohail. Googly back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Janat. A poor shot from Sohail and Afghanistan peg back Pakistan once more! Again it's the spinners who get the wicket, Sohail trying to smash Mujeeb off the back foot. He got it much straighter than he intended though and hit it straight down the throat of long on.
40.6 Gulbadin Naib to Haris Sohail
Gulbadin Naib to Haris Sohail. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Afghan. Silly runs conceded in that over again by Afghanistan. I think their fielding has probably cost them maybe 20 runs or so this innings which could make all the difference. Pakistan back on top here, still scoring runs fairly freely.
40.6 Gulbadin Naib to Haris Sohail
Over 41. 11 runs. Bowler: Gulbadin Naib. Pakistan: 3-194(rr 4.73)
40.5 Gulbadin Naib to Haris Sohail
Gulbadin Naib to Haris Sohail. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to leg slip for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Mohammadi, shy attempt by Zadran, overthrow by Zadran.

40.2 Gulbadin Naib to Shoaib Malik
Gulbadin Naib to Shoaib Malik. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep point for 2 runs, fielded by Khan.
40.1 Gulbadin Naib to Shoaib Malik
FOUR! Gulbadin Naib to Shoaib Malik. Back of a length, off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Not a good start to the over from Gulbadin. Too short yet again and Malik swivels on the spot and finds the gap behind square on the legside. Malik has been in this kind of situation many times before whereas most of the Afghanistanis won't have.
