Shahzad out, damage well and truly done though

If we can get anotehr few quick wickets, might still be in with a shot

Just about to go into the 16th over. Afghanistan on 80 without loss

Thanks, was just commenting that it isn't, whatever the score. I played for a team years ago, 38-0 off 10, ended up 45 all out off 22. Could do with a crazy collapse here, batted like they were afraid of being blitzed, and look 50 short

What price are Ireland from here? asking for a friend

We did and chose to bat..

Might have worked out but if you do that, you need to score runs.

I think that decision belies a lack of confidence (probably justifiably) in our batting and ability to chase a reasonable target.

But either way, it could still be embarrassing if these lads continue as they are. Though see one gone now.

11/1 on 365. 8/1 on PP.
Need to get another few wickets very quickly. We've seen Afghanistan collapse already in this tournament.

Only 16 runs for the last 5 overs. Another wicket would give us a chance.

ton up

in less than 22 overs

PP still have Ireland at 8/1. Not tempted by that price, more like a 50/1 shot in my book.

If we do lose then serious question marks must be raised towards Graham Ford and his coaching team about the conservative batting display we produced today, where it was clear the objective was to not lose wickets. I had high hopes from Ford but our displays in Zimbabwe have clearly been a major disappointment.
