What is going on!
Players have come from the field due to rain. Afghanistan is ahead by two runs on DLS.
Bangladesh are 7-81 after 11.4 overs. They’re all but out of the tournament.
However, an Afghanistan player, knowing the rain was coming, has taken a dive at first slip just as Rashid Khan was about to bowl a delivery.
He’s clutched at his leg and fallen to the ground. His skipper, Rashid Khan, could see that it was a deliberate time-wasting tactic. He clearly wasn’t a fan. Hamstring? Cramp? Nothing?
As first slip is attended by medical staff, umpires instruct for the covers to come on. Convenient stuff, given Afghanistan had an early lead.
It appears like coach Jonathan Trott ran a message out to slow the play down. That will be scrutinised closely.
