1 run, the pull shot comes into play. One run taken.
Slower ball on the full, just outside off. Kaia squeezes it toward the man at short third.
Good length delivery, swings back into the middle and leg stump line. Kaia shimmies down and whips it off the inner half toward the fine leg region. A fine diving effort from Ijaz Ahmadzai keeps it to a couple.
Fuller than a good length, nips back into the middle stump line. Kaia prods to defend, but plays the wrong line and is pinned in front. Appeal from the bowler for LBW, but the umpire turns it down. Probably going over the stumps as Afghanistan do not take the review.
Innocent Kaia walks in at number 3.
OUT! TAKEN! Fazalhaq Farooqi draws first blood. Back of a length, angled into the middle stump line. Curran tries to hack it across the line but gets rushed for pace and miscues the pull toward Azmatullah Omarzai at mid-wicket region, who completes the catch. Curran goes for just 7. Zimbabwe are rocked early in the chase.
Curran misses out on a freebie! A slower ball, full toss on the middle stump line. Curran gets inside the line and helps it toward short fine leg.
Slower ball on the full, on the leg. Curran clips it through backward square leg for one.
Back of a length, just outside off. Curran mistimes the pull, comes off the toe end and rolls toward mid-wicket fielder.
Short of a good length, moving away around off. Bennett dabs it to the left of the backward point fielder for a single.
