AM Ghazanfar to Paul Stirling
OUT! LBW! Immediate impact from Ghazanfar as he breaks the opening partnership. He dishes out a full ball, on the stumps, Paul Stirling is drawn forward to play at it, but the ball turns in sharply and beats the inside edge to strike on the back pad. A confident appeal goes up in unison from the Afghans and up goes the finger. It is as plumb as it can get and Stirling is trapped in front, the first ball of spin he faces. Ireland are 48/1, needing 296 runs.

Yamin Ahmadzai to Cade Carmichael
OUT! BOWLED'EM! A seamer's dream ball, this one. Hit the top of off, they say and Ahmadzai does exactly that. On a length, straightening up from the pitch. Cade Carmichael plays from out of the crease and looks to block it in front but the ball almost trims the outside edge and clips the bails on the off stump. Absolutely cleaned him up through a ripper. Ireland slip from 48/0 to 53/2.
