The Afghans almost posted 300 which could be enough on this wicket, I hope they can go on and win this one as they are great to watch. Sadly something that cant be said about the England squad atm..

 

Australia doing an England.

 

Afghanistan have a great chance here

 

Some innings by Maxwell, but will he last with that back problem.

 

That is right up there with the best innings I have ever witnessed.

 

The most amazing innings ever witnessed 200 runs from Maxwell

 

Incredible.

 

As much as it pains me to praise an Aussie............that was absolutely stunning

 

Still can’t believe that knock. Unbelievable.

 

England/Netherlands tomorrow. Talk about a dead rubber…

 

Highlights are on Sky sports cricket now. Seen some of the shots on the BBC sport website earlier and the Afghanistan innings was class. Some quality shots.

Maxwell on one leg looked ridiculous from what I've seen online, looking forward to seeing it up next.

 

Really good innings that from Afghanistan. Need to watch out for these lads in T20, they can certainly play a bit.

 

Aye, stunning from Maxwell. Afghanistan will be gutted they dropped him but how many times do we see those go in to make a decent score.

Some ridiculous shots in the from him tbh.

 

Might be captain but Butler should not be in this team. His confidence is totally shot and it was inevitable what was going to happen.

Post update

Chris Woakes is the new batter but he's got an issue with his helmet.

Can we not please?

Both sides seem to be laughing.

Fielder takes catch. Batsman walks off. Umpire wants to get involved and gives in not out based on blurry zoomed in images that show Root's fingers under the ball.
All those cameras and they have 1 angle to show?
Pathetic

 

England win. A bit hollow though.

 

Good knock from Stokes.

 

Not much joy when we hump the mighty Netherlands when it means nothing.
