Cricket World Cup 2023 | England vs Afghanistan LIVE | Naveen gets Buttler

 

After being bogged down by the continuous shouts of Kohli Kohli in the stands, Naveen produces a stellar delivery to castle English captain Jos Buttler and all of a sudden England reel under pressure at 91.4. Buttler made nine of 18 balls after spending 26 minutes on the pitch. 

 

A free hit will calm some nerves of Livingstone. Livingstone gets a four. 

 

Four!! Dr9iven through the covers elegantly by Brook for a beautiful four 

 

100 up for England in 90 minutes and 17.5 overs. 

 

That would be the third boundary of an over in which Naveen got Buttler as well. 15 from the over, the most expensive by far in this innings. 

 

England Live Score 104/4 after 18 overs

Wicket!! This looked completely bizarre as Fazalhaq Farooqi has dismissed Jaonny Biarstow here. Th abll was an in-swinger but it never looked like hitting the stumps. Eventually, the umpire called it out and it came as out on the umpire’s call.
