Dropped a couple of catches, missed run-out chances, didn't review an lbw call. This is how New Zealand fared in the first half of the innings after opting to field. Despite that, they conceded just 55 runs off the first ten overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran upped the ante after that as they smashed five sixes in the next 14 balls with three of them coming in an over off Bracewell. Matt Henry broke the century opening stand and Azmatullah Omarzai played a little cameo coming in at three. Gurbaz struck two massive sixes in the penultimate over but Boult was brilliant in the final over. With dew expected to play a role, New Zealand will fancy their chances to chase down this total. Let's find out how Afghanistan fare with the ball. The chase is coming up shortly...
