    They got out for thirteen balls (five runs, no wickets) then it rained again.

    They finally managed to get out again, with Bangladesh having to survive 18 and a half overs. Only for Shakib to go to the very first ball. Rashid Khan has got two more since. Seven overs left. Soumya Sarkar still in, with the number eleven.

      And it could still rain again.

        Sarkar sees off two overs without Hasan having to face a ball, but can't keep strike again. But it's Nabi who gets to bowl at the 11, not Rashid.

          In fact they go with Zahir, who lets Hasan score a single off the first ball. Drizzle starts.

            All over. Rashid gets Sarkar.

            Many congratulations to Afghanistan. That's a fantastic result

              Afghan win by 224 runs

                Hasan sees off the rest of the over, but Rashid strikes with 20 balls left. Amazing win for him and Afghanistan.

                  Rashid match figures 11/104. Sensational.

                  Afghanistan are only the second team in history to win two of their first three Tests according to this, and the first to do so with two wins outside their home turf (as they beat Ireland in India):

                    Very odd playing ODI cricket in rainy season in Florida, and it rains a lot more persistently on the east coast than the west. T20 they can get away with.

                      Pretty much everyone has pointed out the climatological issues, but I think it is the only fully ICC approved wicket in the country.

                      They set a 25 over target and got in 13 before the rain returned.

                        As per Netherland, surely American cricket should be able to cultivate a sizeable immigrant fanbase?

                          You might have noticed that a) Netherland is not set in South Florida, and b) that this match involves the US and Papua New Guinea, not India or West Indies.

                              USA are playing 4 Lauderhill matches in this batch - 2 v PNG, 2 v Namibia, who also play each other twice there:

                                  No Bairstow (dropped) or Anderson (still injured) in the NZ Test squad.

                                  For some reason these Tests will not be part of the ICC Test Championship.

                                    Might have to stay up late just to witness a proper specialist batsman coming in at number six. It's been a while.

                                      England has had a preoccupation with bits and pieces players for decades (e.g. Pringle). It seldom works.

                                        Obviously the proper specialist batsman who've been coming in at 1-5 have been whetting your appetite

                                          Haha.

                                          I just don't know how they expect batsmen to develop if they're being dropped into the top four each and every time.

                                          I like this squad. There's no doubt Bairstow is Test quality; equally, there's no doubt he's scoring nothing like the quantity of runs he should do.

                                            Yeah, not quite sure how they've got Parkinson as first class spin option but I guess he's not going to play unless Leach gets injured. Otherwise, reasonable choice.

                                            Presumably Bairstow will play in a T20 league somewhere (does this tour coincide with the Big Bash?) which I doubt will help him correct any technical flaws.

                                              He's also not played any first-class cricket for Yorkshire this season.

                                                Very sad, though I very much help that she is happier away from the pressure. Just a sublimely talented keeper.
