Afghanistan vs England, 8th Match,

49.1
Livingstone to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Jofra Archer!! Zadran walks off to a standing ovation. A magnificent knock comes to an end. Rashid Khan is the first to pat him on the back. Flighted delivery that drifts into leg, Zadran sits down and gets hold of the slog sweep, but he was hitting to the longer part of the ground and Archer settles under it near deep square leg, takes it safely.

Ibrahim Zadran c Jofra Archer b Livingstone 177(146) [4s-12 6s-6

Afghanistan 325/7
Ibrahim Zadran 177 (146 balls) - New Champions Trophy Record

49.4
Livingstone to Nabi, out Caught by Root!! Second wicket in the over for Livingstone. He is doing a good job and that has impressed Buttler as well. Once again shortens the length and hurries Nabi into the pull shot, the miscue goes straight up and Root comes in from long-on to take a simple catch.

Nabi c Root b Livingstone 40(24) [4s-2 6s-3]

Rashid Khan to Duckett, out Lbw!! That's an excellent review. Duckett does not add much after the dropped catch. Rashid breaks the partnership and is absolutely stoked. He was the one rally the team around during the break and he has delivered. The fast leggie, pitches on leg and turns just enough to beat Duckett's inside edge, he was stuck to the crease and struck in front of the stumps. Ball-tracking shows it to be smashing into leg-stump. Umpire Rod Tucker was not convinced as he felt the ball pitched outside leg but he was wrong, the ball pitched in-line and was going on to hit the stumps

Nabi to Brook, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal. And it has come against the run of play. The pair were going about their business in nonchalant manner and suddenly Brook chips one back. But credit to Nabi. He's varied his pace nicely and that's what deceived Brook. Slower through the air and bit of inward turn, Brook is early into the punch and he checks his shot, lobs it straight back and Nabi accepts it gleefully.

Brook c and b Nabi 25(21) [4s-3]

25.2
Rashid Khan to Root, 1 run, fifty for Root. He has to be the anchor for England in this chase. Too straight - on off and middle, Root clips it to deep square leg. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause..
