A single to end the innings. Afghanistan finish on 102/7. Another yorker by Lalit, on off. Kharote jams it out wide of point, and they scamper through for a quick single. Ahmadzai gets home before the throw reaches the keeper.
Nails the yorker, on off. Khartoe drills it to cover.
FOUR! Oh, that could have been nasty! Floated up, on middle. Kharote skips down the track and lofts it back over the bowler's head. The long on and long off fielders converge and both having their eyes on the ball as they go for the catch. Both men put in the dive, but the ball goes right between them, and thankfully, they do not collide. It trickles into the fence. Afghanistan go past 100 with a couple of balls left in the innings.
A single sneaked in! Keeps it full, outside off. Ahmadzai has a big swing at it but the ball spins away a touch and grazes the outside edge. The keeper, Aasif Sheikh can't cling on as the ball clips his gloves and rolls wide of point. They cross.
A swing and a miss! Switches to around the wicket, fuller and around the off pole. Ahmadzai clears the front leg and swings for the hills, but the ball straightens to go past the bat and whistles past the off stump.
Very full, on middle, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Kharote powers it to long on for just a single.
The next man in is Abdollah Ahmadzai. Also, Lalit Rajbanshi (3-0-6-3) will bowl the final over.
OUT! TAKEN! Kushal Bhurtel picks up his 4th wicket on the last ball of his spell and ends a fine outing. Bowled into the deck again, on off. Zadran hangs back and tries to drag it in front of square on the leg side. Gets it right off the toe end of the blade and it goes flat towards long on. Karan KC runs in off the ropes and slides to take a safe catch inches off the turf. Afghanistan are 95/7 with one over left in the innings.
This is from the front of the hand, into the wicket, outside off. Zadran flashes but can only connect with thin air.
Loopy ball, it is the googly, on off. Zadran picks it from the hand and goes with the spin, carving it to the left of deep point for another brace.
