This display by the seamers is pathetic...changes have to be made for the South Africa game

[andy]

284 all out. I think they have a very good score especially with that bowling attack

[sussexpob]

Bairstow out already....England in trouble

[andy]

Runs starting to flow don't think it will be long before Rashid is on

Ffs root is out

[sussexpob]

England need a contribution from Brooks today

[andy]

I wonder if Afghanistan will be tempted to bowl mujeeb through here, particularly with runs flowing off the seamers

[sussexpob]

Utter rubbish from Malan that.... Afghanistan now favourites for me

[andy]

Both buttler and brook edgy and unsure against naveen

[andy]

Buttler gone now....101-4

[Arthur Crabtree]

This isn't going well. A long tail too. Crucial fifth wicket stand for England.

When I went out to clear up the garden I wasn't expecting Afghanistan to get so many.

[andy]

In fairness Rashid at 9 isn't a long tail, wood can bat as well, just obviously not an ideal situation right now but all is not lost yet

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hero time for Brook.

[andy]

50 for brook

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looking at seam v spin over the game, maybe England could have done with Mo in this one.

[mikesiva]

Mujeeb winning the match for Afghanistan.

3-51
