Boult to Rashid Khan, OUT!
Important for New Zealand not to dwell on an expensive over. Boult's turn now. The first ball is a breakthrough. This final over could be key for Afghanistan. The fielding team is on fire at the start of this over. Rashid Khan goes. Run out. Yorker outside off. Rashid Khan misses an attempted cut. Fielding by Boult results in a run out. This could be a huge shift in the balance of power.
