Can Afghan spring a surprise here? It looks a decent batting track too, unless you have pace and bounce. Real question is how quick England can get this total?

Alex Hales has been dropped by Afghanistan 2 times so far in first 8 overs. And finally they took the catch

Not the most convincing of batting displays by England but they have got the job done and have picked up a couple of crucial points to begin their campaign. Afghanistan fought valiantly but with just 112 runs on the board, it was always going to be difficult.
Yeah, he was terrible with the bay in the Asia Cup and should’ve retired at the end of their Asia Cup campaign.
Though he performed well in the warmup game against Pakistan once again got out cheaply.
