England vs Afghanistan Scoreboard live, ICC World Cup Cricket match 2019 in Oval: Archer's double strike puts England on top

3:23 PM (IST)

SHUTTER! Jofra Archer has another window here, Rahmat Shah seeks to pick it up on the side of the leg, but simply pushes it in half. A simple capture for Liam Plunkett and is the second gate for Archer. Rahmat leaves for 3 and Afghanistan is 25/2.

3:20 PM (IST)

Tightened on this by Woakes, certainly something that is offered to sealers in this field here. Afghanistan will have to play intelligently here instead of just going for their shorts. Afghanistan are 20/1

3:12 PM (IST)

SHUTTER! Hazratullah leaves seems to go for the pull against Archer, but gets it high in the bat and is simple enough for Moeen Ali there. Zazai leaves for 11 and Afghanistan is 17/1.

3:09 PM (IST)

Noor Ali survives! He is left trapped behind, but immediately requests a review here, the replays show no advantage but had hit the elbow on the way to the goalkeeper. Afghanistan also maintains the review. The next ball is hit by a limit to further increase the misery of England. Afghanistan is 17/0 after 2 overs.

3:04 PM (IST)

Well for the first time here, since Hazratullah has a couple of limits, the first one that was not in control when he looked to shoot, but he looked away from the ball. After that, lift one on the outside side for a limit. Afghanistan is 12/0 after the 1st over

3:01 PM (IST)

Jofra Archer has the new ball here for England, Hazratullah and Noor Ali are opening the batting for Afghanistan here! We should be here for some early fireworks here.

Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib says he is ready to test the pace and reports that they were looking to hit first anyway. He says the boys are excited after the victory against Pakistan and he hopes to play cricket well here and. He reports that Mujeeb and Shahzad have been rested.

The captain of England, Eoin Morgan, says that they are playing Afghanistan and that they are playing against Afghanistan in Manchester in the tournament where they will play this decision first. In the quality game, he says that they have been excellent and bring good energy. On the pitch, he says it's a used window and tells Oval that it's a fantastic field and that they look good. He reports to the Plunkett, Wood and Dawson area and they are playing 12. He says that they would like to have a good PowerPlay of batting and bowling. He ends by saying that it is important to find the right balance.

TOSS: England has won the draw and chooses the bowl first.
