Floated, full and on off, Mark Adair drives it to sweeper cover for one. Rashid Khan finishes a fine spell of bowling, with figures of 10-1-49-3.

OUT! ABSOLUTE SCREAMER! Rashid Khan, you beauty! Azmatullah Omarzai lands this back of a length and around off, Mark Adair backs away and tries to punch it over extra cover but ends up slicing it. It flies towards extra cover, where Rashid sticks out his left hand and plucks the ball out of thin air. He is off and running in celebration. Ireland slip further, still needing 97 runs in 41 balls.

Good length and on off, Gavin Hoey stabs it out to short cover.

Fuller and angling in on leg, Gavin Hoey backs away and tries to play at it but misses. Rahmanullah Gurbaz dives to his left but only makes a half-stop and the batters set off for the bye. Gurbaz picks up and has a shy at the batter's end but misses. Campher would have been a goner if that had hit.

Put down! Azmatullah Omarzai bangs this into the pitch, outside off, gives no pace. Curtis Campher backs away and tries to reach out for it but gets a top edge. The fielder from deep third runs forward and dives but fails to hold on to it. Two taken.

FOUR! FIFTY FOR CAMPHER! Off just 35 balls. Fuller delivery, on middle, angling in. Curtis Campher whips it away towards deep square leg, where the fielder makes a meal of it and lets it through for a boundary. This has been a quickfire knock from him, but Ireland needed a lot more from the others.

Pitched up and around off, Curtis Campher lofts it towards sweeper cover for a brace.

OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Yamin Ahmadzai gets his second. He hits the deck hard, on off, and shoots up a bit. Gavin Hoey backs and tries to slap it away but gets it high on the bat. It goes straight up in the air towards cover, where Rahmat Shah settles under the high ball and takes a good catch. Ireland are 256/8, needing 88 runs.

Back of a length and around off, holds its line, Liam McCarthy tries to guide it away but misses.

Fuller and on middle, Liam McCarthy drills it past the bowler for a single. He opens his account in ODI cricket.

SIX! Straight as an arrow! Fuller once more, on middle, in the slot as well. Curtis Campher clears his front leg away and tonks it over the bowler's head for a biggie.

Excellent running! Full and outside off stump, Campher reaches out and drills it to the left of long off for a couple of runs.

WIDE! Campher shuffles outside off to play the scoop shot, and seeing that Omarzai fires it miles outside off, on a good length. It goes beyond the cut-strip and is called a wide.

Far outside off, on a length, looks to be the slower one from Omarzai. Curtis throws his bat and slaps it through point for a single.

A big appeal for LBW, but turned down! Omarzai comes from aound the wicket now. Bowls it fuller and outside off, McCarthy walks across his stumps and tries to defend but misses it completely. The ball raps him on the front pad. The impact looked to be outside off here.

Wide full toss, Curtis Campher swings hard at it and slices it over point, and it goes on the bounce to the sweeper for a single.

 Swing and a miss! Bangs in a short ball, angled down leg, at shoulder height. Liam McCarthy stays put and looks to hook it over square leg, but the ball flies over the bat and Rahmanullah Gurbaz gathers it safely behind the stumps. He appeals but it is toned down as soon as the umpire shakes his head.

WIDE! Way too short from around the stumps again, angled down the leg stump. Liam again swings to pull but misses out to connect. And this time, it is called a wide for height.

Around off, on a good length, Liam McCarthy slices it through backward point for a single. Campher is on strike now with 57 needed from 21 balls.

 FOUR! Goodness me! That's a schoolboy error in the deep! Full and outside off, Curtis Campher gets on the front foot and slaps it through cover-point. Yamin Ahmadzai moves to his left but does not bend low enough as the ball seeps through his legs for a boundary. Rahmat Shah will not be pleased with that sloppy effort one bit.

Full and wide, this is squeezed out to extra cover for a single.

Back of a length, on top of off, Liam McCarthy hops off and tucks it to mid-wicket. 52 runs needed from 18 balls.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! That should be the game for Afghanistan. But full credit to Campher, who conjured a fightback out of thin air, dragging this contest back from the dead when nobody gave it a chance. Full and wide outside off, deliberately kept away from the hitting arc. Campher goes down low and throws everything into it, with no option left but to keep swinging for the fences. But his bottom hand comes off the bat at the crucial moment, and the mistimed shot balloons up towards extra cover, where Rahmat settles under it for an easy catch. Ireland are 292 for 9, needing 52 more runs.

WIDE! Too wide outside off, Byron lets it be.

Fullish and angling into the batter, this is flicked off the pads to deep mid-wicket for a single.

FOUR! Gets it away! Back of a length, just outside off. McCarthy opens up his stance pulls it away to the right of the deep square leg fielder for a boundary. 46 needed off 15 balls.

Too full and outside off, Liam carves it to extra cover for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the bowling end, but misses.

300 UP FOR IRELAND! On the fuller length, and around off. McDonough clears the front leg away and whips it to the widish deep square leg region for a couple of runs. Both sides have piled on the runs here, on a surface that's been an absolute belter to bat on all day.

OUT! CAUGHT SPECTACULARLY! Sediqullah Atal snaps a stunning catch to cap off his birthday in style. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 42 RUNS! And with that, they win the 5-match ODI series, leading by 3-0. Full and angling into the batter around off. McDonough goes right back in his crease, clearing that front leg out of the way, and swings hard trying to muscle it away into the leg side. The elevation just isn't there though. Deep mid-wicket springs into action, as Sediqullah Atal times his leap to perfection and clutches the catch, somehow staying balletically balanced with both feet inside the rope. The third umpire is called upon for a closer look, though there isn't much in the way of angles to work with. One replay is enough to confirm that Atal's feet stayed well clear of the ropes throughout. A day to remember for Ahmadzai too, who rounds it off with a stunning four-wicket haul.
