[k31th]

very nice catch by Adil Rashid

 

[Around the Wicket]

You see this abit from Afghanistan against the better sides, happy just to last the overs over really going for it.

Some fine catches from England tonight.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

England have been pretty much flawless in the field tonight.

That's probably why... went for it and straight to a fielder

Rashid Khan, as usual, never in for a long time, only a good time haha out for a golden duck

More then likely hitting his mid 30s now so his eye sight will be going on him

 

[k31th]

Woakes just trolling by catching it in his fingertips as he just sticks the paw out haha

He’s 24

England's first misstep in the field.

Hard chance.

 

[k31th]

only flaw in the England fielding performance tonight by Hales just there... really tough chance diving full length one-handed at point

 

[k31th]

Curran with a beauty of a hat-trick ball, but too bad Usman was way down legside so the in-swinging yorker which got through him missed by a fair bit haha ... but gets him the very next ball flaying it to deep point... 3 wickets in 4 balls is pretty damn good

 

[k31th]

Make that 4 wickets in 6 balls for Sam Curran... brilliant... 5/10 off 3.4 overs; equally brilliant for a T20!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

5-10 for Curran, brilliant performance. First Michelle for England in a T20 WC.

 

[troybe]

What’s Aleem Dar’s problem with letting Curran keeping the ball

Not really, it was a mile down leg side.

Not really, it was a mile down leg side.

Following the batsman with an inswinging yorker and getting through his attempt to whip it away is brilliant. It's just unlucky for him it didn't happen to line up with the stumps. But yes, of course, the outcome wasn't perfect.

It was still a mile down legside.

A "beauty of a hat-trick ball" would have been that length and straight.

 

[corbies]

Great effort from Sam Curran to take a 5'fer

I thought Tom Curran was pretty good but his brother is better.

Tom Curran has shown himself time and time again to be utter trash at international level.

Afghani fans are so joyful, cheering like mad for blokes who've just got a golden duck.

Lots of Afghani families, too, which is really nice to see.

 

[k31th]

Qais Ahmed drops Hales... not a good way to go for the Afghans...

 

[k31th]

Nabi drops Hales... tough chance, but really should have been taken

 

[k31th]

Third time lucky for the Afghani's to get Hales. Farid picks him up with a mis-timed pull shot and Fazal takes the catch

Anyone else pick up the commentator saying the bouncer "clears the c***......keeper"
