Junaid Siddique to Azmatullah Omarzai. Reverse Swing-In full toss, outside off stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 1 run, fielded by Parashar. That's the end of the first innings, and Afghanistan have posted a competitive total on the board. They lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early, but a solid partnership between Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran provided stability, with both batters notching up well-crafted fifties. A quickfire cameo from Karim Janat towards the end gave the innings a strong finish. For UAE, Muhammad Rohid Khan and Saghir Khan were the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets apiece. Join us shortly for what promises to be an exciting run chase.
