Keshav Maharaj to Azmatullah Omarzai, out Darwish Rasooli Run Out!! Rasooli run out! Oh this is horrible from Afghanistan's point of view! First Gurbaz, now Rasooli and the game has changed dramatically. Flat length ball at the stumps, Omarzai makes room to cut, finds backward point and the single isn't on. Rasooli still comes charging down for a single and is more than halfway when he has to turn back. Had no hope from there. Throw came to de Kock who passed it to the bowler's end. Easy run out. Darwish Rasooli run out (George Linde/Quinton de Kock/Keshav Maharaj) 15(18)

Keshav Maharaj to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, out Caught by George Linde!! Linde takes a brilliant catch and Gurbaz is crestfallen! Tossed up outside off, slow and dipping and he looks to go inside-out over extra. There's just enough grip though. Not a lot, but just enough. It takes a thick edge and loops to the left of short third who dives full stretch and grabs with both hands. Huge moment in the game and props to Maharaj for tossing this up. Rahmanullah Gurbaz c George Linde b Keshav Maharaj 84(42) [4s-4 6s-7]
