Shaheen Afridi to Mujeeb Ur Rahman
OUT! HIT WICKET! What an unfortunate way for a remarkable inning to come to an end! He will walk back to the shed amidst cheers and applause from the crowd as he provided some fight for the Afghans! This is bowled on a good length and at the stumps. Mujeeb Ur Rahman looks to go deep in the crease to tuck this fine. He manages to get this towards the fine leg fence for four runs but steps on the stumps. Becomes the first Afghanistan batter to be dismissed in this manner in all international cricket games played by this side. Pakistan just need one more wicket to clean-sweep this series.
