Tanaka Chivanga to Abdul Malik, out Abdul Malik Run Out!! Oh dear! A massive mix-up, both batters end up at the same end and Malik has been sold down the river by his captain, he throws himself on the dive, but he's yards short of the ground. OUT and Afghanistan lose their third wicket. A waste of a wicket and the set batters departs - was a yorker length delivery on off and Malik squeezed it to the off-side, the ball rolled towards cover and he set-off for a quick single, his partner responded and then stopped, Malik stalled and then continued to run, but Shahidi has already turned his back onto him. Welch picks up the ball, has a look and then lobs the throw to the keeper - Tafadzwa Tsiga made his way to the stumps and broke the stumps, catching Malik well short despite his dramatic dive. Abdul Malik run out (Nick Welch/Tafadzwa Tsiga) 30(40) [4s-2]
