Usman Shinwari to Hashmatullah Shahidi. Length ball, to leg on the front foot flick, hit pad to silly point for no runs, fielded by Zaman. Well some poor cricket in the last couple of balls there as first of all they only took one so Shahidi could try and get a hundred and then also not scrambling through off the last ball for another all important run. Overall though it's been an excellent knock from Shahidi. Afghanistan would have taken that score every day of the week and Pakistan look worried here, they have a tough task ahead of them to chase this down.

FOUR! Aftab Alam to Shoaib Malik. Half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, past fine leg for 4 runs. That's going for four and Malik has done it! He's won it for Pakistan! Went for another yorker and it was on the pads and Malik got it away behind square. What a match! Aftab is in tears, he feels he could have won it for Afghanistan but it's the man with the old head on his shoulders who saw Pakistan home. A fantastic game of cricket that was in the balance right up to the end. Pakistan will be mightily relieved, there's every chance that the winner of this match will meet India in the final. Afghanistan will surely feel that that was a game they could have won, but experiences like this will go a long way to improving them as a side. That's all from Abu Dhabi after what has been an exhilarating one day international, Pakistan off to a winning start. Until next time, goodnight.

Another wicket for Rashid Khan and the crowd go wild. It's another dot ball and it brings another new batsman to the crease in a high pressure scenario. How do Pakistan play these next three balls?

OUT! Bowled. Gulbadin Naib to Sarfraz Ahmed. Slower ball full toss, middle stump backing away cutting, missed to. Bowled! Sarfraz has missed a full toss! Trying to give himself room with both men square on the offside up in the ring. It was a slower ball though and once he was no longer in line with the ball it became difficult to hit. It cannoned into middle stump and another key moment in this game!
