Drinks break! This has been an excellent recovery from Afghanistan after losing 3 wickets inside the first 10 overs and Ibrahim Zadran is nearing a fine century.

With 17 overs still remaining, Ibrahim will play a crucial role in how this inning will eventually pan out. A couple of wickets for England before 40 overs and they will have a chance to really put on the squeeze. Also, Mark Wood is finally back into the attack. Let's see how it goes...
