DROPPED! On a length, around off, Travis Head presses back and pulls it but gets it through the bottom part of the bat towards mid on where Rashid Khan moves in to his left and extends his arms to catch it but the ball bursts out through his hands. HOW COSTLY WILL IT BE FOR THEM? Rashid just never got in a comfortable position and ended up going with the crocodile hands.

An appeal for LBW but is turned down by the umpire! A big inswinger and around middle and leg, Travis Head gets caught on the crease and looks to flick it but misses and gets hit on the back pad. They are not going for the review as probably it is going down leg. That swung back a long way!

THIS JUST IN! Big news coming in from the English camp is that Jos Buttler has just resigned as skipper of the ODI squad. It will be interesting to see who leads England in their last group game against South Africa. A couple of tough ICC campaigns for Buttler, facing disappointment in the 2023 ODI World Cup and now in the Champions Trophy as well.

Powerplay 2! Afghanistan will be a bit relieved that that field can now spread and as many as 4 fielders are now allowed outside the inner ring till the 40th over. Also, Noor Ahmad comes into the attack.

Right then, we finally have one confirmed team from Group B in the semifinals and now, just one spot remains, which will be ascertained in the very next game. South Africa face-off against England at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday, March 1. A win for the Proteas and they will top their group, but a loss and they might still make it to the top 4, which then would be the same top 4 that we saw in the ODI World Cup in late 2023. Jos Buttler, though, would want to sign off on a high as England's white-ball skipper, and it should be an interesting game with no rain forecasted in Karachi for now. That game will begin at 9 am GMT, but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Starts with a full ball, seaming away, outside off, Matthew Short comes forward and drives it through the outer half of the bat to backward point. There is a bit of misfield by the fielder but they are not going for the run. Also, Short seems to be hobbling as he did in the field and doesn't look comfortable out there.
