I can't believe these guys went to Afghanistan to play some meaningless T20's. A war zone.

Game seems to be back on now. Ey, the things a Zimbo would do for a pay check. Only a Zimbo would understand.

Play has resumed.

Dean Jones said it was a little incident a fair way from the ground and all clear has been given by security.

I have said the same thing that Zim players should not have gone to Afghanistan

He immediately hit the ground. Sibanda was half down. Nobody else seemed too concerned :)

Not surprising you'd be rattled especially if you aren't used to hearing explosions like the Afghans probably are.

Total madness.

Daily Mirror says 2 dead, other messages on Twitter say 9 and 36 injured.

This is just insane - it was stupid enough when they went to Pakistan but at least they had security provided by a government which is not yet in failed-state territory. None of the Zimbabweans needed to go to Afghanistan, what on earth were they thinking? The fact that nobody from any western nations signed up should be a pretty good indicator to stay the hell away.
