    Not making it easy for themselves, but well batted Porterfield.

    2 runs and lost Porterfield in the last over. I'm just a Jonah, I'm going out for coffee.

    Normally I'd still be pretty confident in this position but Afghanistans collapse earlier is giving me the jitters

    Please send me a bag of your confidence. We just got two extras from somewhere. The two lads at the crease have scored 4 runs from 13 deliveries.

    What a great call all round not to stream all the games they aren't doing a full broadcast for, sure who would watch any of this!

    It's fascinating stuff, even just watching the graphics. Watching the odds on the Afgh/Zim match, they still give Afgh a fair chance of getting the runs, though I'd be doubtful myself.

    7 runs required from 9 balls. This is getting tighter than Harney's knickers.

    EDit: TF for Dockrell's boundary, it seems like yesterday since we got one.

    Eh, I'm "watching" this on BBC Sport live scores. Are ye ahead of me or just trying to stop me from having a cardiac arrest? Still need 3 according to the Beeb.

    Edit: Slow typing, missed Wilson's Boundary.

    I always had faith.:p:p

    4 wicket win and never in doubt at all really. Funny reading some of the hysterics here. That result will most likely not even matter in the overall scheme of things as it won't carry through to the super 6. Ireland could even have lost that and it not have any material impact on qualification chances.

    Of far more importance. Afghanistan need 7 from 2 overs with one wicket in hand..

    At the same time if they'd lost today and then against the WI, it'd put a lot of pressure on the last match against UAE, and probably just to qualify for the 6. Think it was important to win, or that's how I'd read it anyway.

    Damn, that's a big pity for Afghanistan. What a disaster the match turned into and then to still give yourself a chance and lose by just 2 runs

    Yeah of course and it keeps our winning run going as well. Ultimately though our qualification centres on beating one of the windies and Zimbabwe while also beating holland (done), Afghanistan and Scotland. The UAE and PNG games are ones to just get out of the way and especially hope rain doesn't get in the way. We were in full control of that game today despite what you might have read here.

    Oh absolutely, I was mostly following the other game at the end anyway. Performance wasn't great but probably to be expected after the good showing the other day. They do look to be in pretty good shape out there.
