Waller looks in the best rhythm, has a lovely bound to the crease and hits back of a length, not at the greatest pace but always seems to be at the batsman. Mumba looked dangerous with the short ball but strayed a couple down leg. Chatara looks ok and kept a tight line. Madziwa a bit erratic as always.

Wellington is just firing the ball into the pads, no turn from what i can see, a very defensive option , needs to flight the ball to become a serious wicket taking bowlers in the middle overs rather than just a containing bowler.

A dropped catch and run out in the field.

I was a bit suprised when I watched the A game on Friday. The afghan bowlers looked really average and pacers were 125 at best. But our batsmen were falling like flies. Zim really disappointed me, though we were slightly better than that.

Couldn't they have sited the camera nearer the side screen so we could see what's going on? The game I'm watching they are 15 without loss, you guys are talking about a wicket and we're pulling it back?

Refresh your page, they started a second live stream video as 90 minutes is the max you can run a video for.

They are 128/5 at drinks.

Glad to see the bowling unit doing a decent job, the pace attack of Chatara, Madziva and Mumba is the attack I think we need to put some time in investing in ......

Before anyone points it out I know this Afghanistan A and yes we should be beating them .....

Game not done yet, Afghanistan just starting to put their foot on the gas.

Thanks. I was being dumb. We get spoilt by 5 different camera angles and replays, it's quite frustrating watching, but a lot better than nothing. I'm getting a real kick out of watching young Murray, I hope he hasn't blundered yet by the time I post this, but he's got the best hands in the game.

Murray has been faultless so far. But then again not many balls from the spinners have gone past the bat.

Mumba strikes twice after Madziwa goes off injured. Mumba has 3 wickets now (cricinfo gave one incorrectly to Madziwa.
