Highlights, England vs Afghanistan, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Full Cricket Score: Eoin Morgan's men clinch 150-run victory

After 50 overs,Afghanistan 247/8 ( Ikram Ali Khil (W) 3 , Dawlat Zadran 0)

ENGLAND WIN BY 150 RUNS. They go to top of the points table.

Afghanistan batted all the overs, which is a moral victory for them. It was the day of batters as Morgan, Root, Bairstow had fun in the middle. Then Shahidi and Asghar gave a little to cheer to the Afghan fans in the middle. It was never a contest from the start, to be honest. 

OUT! And Bairstow catches another one. He was waiting for it. Rashid heaved it blindly, top edge went to Bairstow at deep cover and he took it safely, turned to the crowd behind as they cheered for him. A smile on his face. He has dropped a couple of catches and taken a couple now. Rashid Khan c Bairstow b Jofra Archer 8(13)

OUT! Wood rattles the stumps. Najib slogs without watching the ball, made room and exposed the stumps, Wood saw the opportunity and castled the timber. Najibullah b Mark Wood 15(13) 

OUT! Oh and the star of Afghan's batting line-up today departs for 76. Tried to be cheeky against Archer, shuffled across and exposed his stumps, Archer hit the middle and leg stumps to dismiss him. 100 was not possible for the brave man. Shahidi b Jofra Archer 76(100) 

OUT! That's the end of Nabi. Flight from Rashid, conventional leg spin, Nabi swung the bat hard, could not connect and the ball went high up in the air, came down to Stokes at long on who took a good catch with a reverse cup. Nabi c Stokes b Adil Rashid 9(7)

OUT! That's the end of Asghar Afghan. Perfect leg-spinner wicket. Ball turning away from Afghan fro middle-off stump line and takes the edge off the bat, goes to left of first slip where Root takes a safe catch. Asghar Afghan c Root b Adil Rashid 44(48) 

After 33 overs,Afghanistan 153/3 ( Hashmatullah Shahidi 45 , Asghar Afghan 22)

Wait, what was told in that short injury break to Shahidi and Asghar or did the batsmen took the blow on the helmet seriously and on their egos because since then they have been just hitting sixes and fours. Wow. Afghanistan showing their spirit. Afghanistan need 245 runs. 150 up for them. 

Shahidi is down on ground. Wood's nasty bouncer hit him right on the back of the head. Helmet was there but the impact was so hard that it would have hurt him. 1 minute later, he rises up and crowd applauds. 

OUT! This is unbelievable but hey, this is also cricket, right. All the good deliveries from Rashid played well by Rahmat. He gets a gift, a full-toss and he hits it straight to Bairstow at cow corner region. He falls four short of a fifty. Rahmat c Bairstow b Adil Rashid 46(74) 

After 23 overs,Afghanistan 100/2 ( Rahmat Shah 44 , Hashmatullah Shahidi 16)

And Moeen continues. 100 comes up for Afghanistan in the 23rd over. Afghanistan fans clap, not in huge excitement though. Some wave the country's flags. Just 2 off the over. England being made to work hard for the two points. Required run-rate is over 11 now. 

OUT! JOS BUTTLER, you beauty! Wood bounces out Naib, ball rising from back of the length at 147 kph, the Afghanistan captain could not control the pull, ended up top-edging it to short fine leg, Buttler covered the distance from the keeper's position to short fine leg and dived to take a stunning catch. Second wicket for England. Naib c Buttler b Mark Wood 37(28)

After 10 overs,Afghanistan 48/1 ( Gulbadin Naib (C) 36 , Rahmat Shah 10)

Archer comes racing in, spitting fire with the ball. Trying to bounce out the batters. Just 4 off the over. This is a good start by Afghanistan, when not considering the fact that they are chasing 398. End of first powerplay. Afghanistan 48/1.

OUT! JOFRA Archer is up and running, good length, coming in to Noor Ali, he swings the bat, bottom edge and he chops it on to the stump. First wicket gone. Afghanistan's misery continues. Noor Ali b Jofra Archer 0(7)

After 50 overs,England 397/6 ( Moeen Ali 31 , Chris Woakes 1)

England stroke 397/6 at the end of 50 overs. This is England's highest score in World Cup. This match is done and dusted to be honest. Morgan came in and changed the game on its head. England had the start and all he needed was to start hitting from the word go, he did that. Moeen Ali finished it well. Bairstow, Root played good knocks. Against Archer and Co, this Afghanistan batting line-up don't stand a chance. We will meet after 30 minutes to see how they fare. 

OUT! Yorker by Zadran, right on the base of the leg stump, as Stokes shuffled to the off stump region, coming into a position to whack the ball over mid-wicket, failed to connect but the ball hit the timber. Stokes goes for 2 off 6. Stokes b Dawlat Zadran 2(6)

OUT! Wickets continue to fall, another slower one coming handy for Afghanistan. Buttler could not spot it, he was looking to go after the bowler, attempted a pull but ended up giving a easy catch to the mid-off fielder. Buttler c Mohammad Nabi b Dawlat Zadran (2)

OUT! That's it. Morgan breaks the record for most number of sixes in the format and departs. Slower one again from Naib and Morgan went after him, but ended up hitting it directly to the long-off fielder. Morgan c Rahmat b Naib 148(71) 

OUT! We had almost forgotten that wicket also falls in a cricket match. The slower one from Naib got better of Root, who could not bring power into his shot and hit is right in the hands of fielder at long-on. He has gone for 88. Root c Rahmat b Naib 88(82)

After 44 overs,England 302/2 ( Joe Root 76 , Eoin Morgan (C) 104)

300 up for England in the 44th over. Root hits one four and after that struggles to connect. Thanks to that, Afghanistan finally manage to give away just one boundary in the over. 

After 43 overs,England 293/2 ( Joe Root 70 , Eoin Morgan (C) 101)

HUNDRED for England captain and what a knock already this is from him. A World Cup hundred. Back spasm is a thing of past. He is hitting sixes and fours and has made Root look a guest at the crease. We better say less about Afghanistan's bowling today.

OUT! Wait, this is a bizarre dismissal for Bairstow. Three consecutive dots and then came this delivery, which sort of stopped after pitching but he continued with the shot, presenting the full face of the bat and hit it directly to Naib who grabbed it perfectly in his follow through. He is gone for 90. Bairstow c and b Naib 90(99)

After 20 overs,England 106/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 52 , Joe Root 26)

Naib continues. 100 up for England. Fifty up for Bairstow. England placed well here and Rashid Khan needs to now deliver, pick up a wicket and bring the Afghans back into the game.

After 10 overs,England 46/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 17 , Joe Root 1)

Short ball from Zadran again and Vince tried to pull, ball took the under edge and almost ran past the keeper, but new man in behind the stumps dived on his right quickly to save a certain four. Don't think Shahzad would have been able to collect that. Two balls later, Zadran's dream comes true, he pitches it short and manages to produce the leading edge off Vince's bat and eventually removes him. Root joins Bairtstow and has been welcomed by a short ball. Given as wide by umpire. Root off the mark on the next ball. End of first powerplay. England 46/1.

OUT! Vince is gone and Zadran has struck. Short ball, directed at Vince's right shoulder, was not so threatening but the right-handed batsman could not deal with it well and ended up giving a catch to short fine leg fielder. James Vince c Mujeeb b Dawlat Zadran 26(31)
