Nabi to Raza, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Raza cannot believe it. But Nabi is pumped. Never seen him so animated after picking a wicket. That six and four early in the over really got him pumped up. Slows it up around leg-stump, Raza sits down to sweep and ekes out an inside edge onto the pad as he was early into the shot, the ball lobs up and deflects off the glove onto the stumps. Very unlucky! But Afghanistan have got the big wicket and the partnership is broken. Raza b Nabi 51(29) [4s-7 6s-2]
