Until Overton came on.16 off his over

133 - 3 28 gone

:afghanistan: 172-4 from 35

Itโ€™s all too easy for Afghanistan, at least a single off of every ball.

one of the pundits the other day said Englandโ€™s bowling is one dimensional, canโ€™t disagree.

Ton up for Ibrahim Zadran, first Afghanistan male to score a Champions Trophy ton.

36 off of the last 3 overs

Azmat mistimes and is pouched by long on for 41

Azmat 41 c Banton (sub) b Overton

Afghanistan 212-5

Overton to Azmatullah, OUT

swings hard at the offcutter, but picks out long-on! Banton, the sub fielder, takes the catch a couple of yards off the rope. In the arc for Azmat, who cleared his front leg and looked to swipe over midwicket. But he got it a little straighter than intended, as the ball came off the toe, and picked out the boundary-rider

Azmatullah Omarzai c sub (T Banton) b Overton 41 (31b 1x4 3x6) SR: 132.25

Has the England team signed some players from SFC?

Wicket

Salt plays across the line with an angled bat, misses the ball, bails skimmed

Eng 19-1

Salt boeled missing a straight one.

Crap 19-1 3.3 overs

Azmatullah to Salt, OUT

Bowled him! A bail-trimmer does for Salt, who was heaving across the line amateurishly, not picking the length - clearly thinking it was shorter than it was.

Phil Salt b Azmatullah Omarzai 12 (13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 92.3

and

Phil Salt has only faced more than 30 balls in five of his 30 ODI innings. Of those five, only one was against a team that qualified for this Champions Trophy (two vs Netherlands, two vs West Indies, one vs Pakistan).
