OUT! BOWLED'EM! All over for England! Who else but Rashid Khan wraps things up and takes Afghanistan to a historic victory. Ecstacy for Hashmatullah Shahidi and Co. as they pull off the biggest win in Afghanistan's history. Rashid Khan bowls it quicker through the air, full and at the stumps, Mark Wood makes room and tries to have a swipe across the line. He misses it altogether and sees the woodwork rattled. Rashid Khan sets off on a celebration as do the rest of his teammates. Afghanistan win by 69 runs!
