The track looked fairly good for batting and it still wasn't going to be easy defending against a powerful English batting lineup. They needed to start off well with the ball and that's exactly what they did. Farooqi trapped Bairstow LBW early and Root's abysmal record in powerplays continued as he was castled by Mujeeb. After being rocked by two early wickets, Brook and Malan looked to rebuild but it was Nabi's experience and guile that got the better of Malan as he was out caught at short cover after pushing at a delivery that Nabi got to hold. In what was a true effort, it was Naveen that contributed next with a beauty to get rid of the skipper Buttler. That left England reeling at 91/4 and while Brook continued to battle at one end, wickets kept tumbling at the other. Brook's vigil was put to an end by Mujeeb and that was pretty much where the game slipped out of England's grasp. It took Afghanistan a little while to complete the job but they did so to inflict an upset for the ages.

SA v Eng next week at the Wankhede shaping up to be a massive game.

SA win; they could genuinely look at the SF's as a possibility.

Eng lose; they're practically on the verge of elimination.

Who would have thought Australia would be at last ever in WC table
