Afghanistan batting , currently 37-0 after 6 overs

match is in Taunton ( just down the road from where I am ) - weather here very changeable, sun out now after a short deluge of rain lasting ten mins, its been similar all day so far too ...Ive a feeling this match will be a stop-start affair , with probably Duckworth n Lewis having a 'say'
 
Afghanistan 39-0 after 8 overs .... slow scoring so far
 
61-0 after ten overs, scoring rate starting to accelerate
 
373-6 after 49 overs .... should exceed 375 .... impressive batting in the main

similar standard of bowling n fielding please
 
Wow ! England's highest ever world cup batting score 386-6 :)
 
Afghanistan now 66-3 after 12 and a half overs
 
72-4 Neesham bowling well for NZ

play due to restart at 3.30pm .... there'll be a few more rain stoppages in this match methinks!
 
10 mins of play ...taking Afghanistan to 99-4 ...and rain stops play for the 2nd time at Taunton
 
Afghanistan get their ton up, only to lose another wicket at 109-6

114-6 ...rain in the air (again)
 
20 overs to go in Afghanistan's innings .... 127-6
 
Ikram caught 130-7 ... Khan for 0 bowled 131-8

with 2 wickets left will Afghanistan stay at the crease for 16 overs?

^^ unlikely now if it wasnt 'then' ... 147-9 with just over 14 overs to go
 
Afghan's tail is starting to wag! 171-9 ...with 10 overs to go

although not Afghan's best score in this World cup, its the longest they've stayed at the crease
 
Afghanistan all out 172 ... with 7 and a bit overs left
 
Blimey! if the first over is any indication NZ aren't going to hang around scoring 11 off 5 balls, after Afghanistan took a wicket with the first ball
