Welcome back to our live coverage, and we're ready for an exciting 2nd innings.

Two solid overs for Pakistan from Shaheen and Nawaz, and a slow start from the Afghanistan batters.

Some brezy cameos from Pakistan's lower-order batters and a 53-run unbeaten knock from captain Agha helps Pakistan to put up 182 runs on the socreboard. Afghanistan's spin-attack was phenomenal as usual, however, Pakistan still managed to score a fighting total.

Salman Agha completes his well-deserved half-century but is not getting enough support from the other end. His responsible knock has kept Pakistan alive in the first innings.

Captain Salman Agha counter attacks on Afghanistan bowling attack with constant boundaries. He hits Rashid Khan for back-to-back sixes in the same spot. He's currently batting on 41 runs with three fours and two sixes.

Fareed Ahmad puts pressure back on Pakistan. Hasan Nawaz cleared his front leg on the lofted drive, but the slowness of the pitch means he's through with the shot a fraction too early, it goes off the inner half, high and towards long-on, Atal settled under it, kept his eyes on the ball, opened up his body and completed a safe catch.

The run-rate seemes decent but Pakistan are losing wickets consistently.

Fakhar also gone after scoring 20 runs. Afghanistan are dragging themselves back into the contest. One shot too many from the left-hander, came down the pitch, got too close to the ball and hence couldn't get the elevation needed on the lofted on-drive, hit flat and hard, and straight down to Ibrahim Zadran.

Afghanistan's spin attack put breaks on Pakistan's batting acceleration. However, the Men in Green still goes past 50 runs in the powerplay, courtesy of a quick 21-run knock by Farhan.

Azmatullah Omarzai strikes early in his first over. That's a soft dismissal - Farhan looks disappointed. It Was a length ball on the pad and it was there to be flicked away, Farhan did so and didn't bother to keep it down, the placement ain't good and he's found short fine to perfection - Mujeeb with a sumple catch and he doesn't miss it.

Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub are on the mission from the very first over. A six and a four in the first over by Farhan helps PAK to score 12 runs in the first over.

Pakistan won the toss and have elected to bat first.
