Itโs all too easy for Afghanistan, at least a single off of every ball.
one of the pundits the other day said Englandโs bowling is one dimensional, canโt disagree.
Ton up for Ibrahim Zadran, first Afghanistan male to score a Champions Trophy ton.

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

Has the England team signed some players from SFC?

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 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).
