Mere formalities remain in the game now. Afghanistan need 152 runs to win from one over.

OUT! Asghar Afghan fine knock comes to an end. Joe Root takes the catch in the slip. It is Adil Rashid who picks the wicket, his second one. Asghar Afghan c Root b Adil Rashid 44(48)

The partnership between Hashmatullah Shahidi and Asghar Afghan is worth 84 off 79 balls now. These two are batting comfortably in the middle. Hashmatullah has gone past his fifty while Asghar is nearing towards his.

Afghanistan need 272 more runs to win from 19 overs. Meanwhile, Hashmatullah Shahidi was hit by a bouncer from Mark Wood but luckily he's back on his feet.

OUT! Adil Rashid strikes in his first over. Soft dismissal this as Rahmat Shah holes out to deep mid-wicket fielder. He missed out on full toss and hits it straight towards the fielder. Rahmat c Bairstow b Adil Rashid 46(74)

In normal circumstances, Afghanistan are going well. Since, they are chasing a mammoth target, so the required run-rate should have been on the higher side. 

OUT! Mark Wood strikes in his first over! Afghanistan skipper Gulbadin top-edges one and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler does well to cover the distance and complete the catch. G Naib c Buttler b Mark Wood 37(28)

Gulbadin  Naib decided to promote himself up and that's working for him and his team thus far. He is batting on 35 off just 22 balls. It is Rahmat Shah who has now joined his skipper in the middle.

Afghanistan has currently changed gears as their skipper Gulbadin Naib has made a decision that he will smash every other ball. Naib has scored 21 from 12 balls while Rahmat who got dropped by Bairstow is batting on 6 runs. 

Noor Ali Zadran OUT for A duck!!!! England's pace bowler Jofra Archer strikes in his first ever as he dismissed Afghanistan's opening batsman Noor Ali Zadran. Afghanistan has indeed got a bad start to their chase of 398 runs. Noor Ali Zadran b Jofra Archer 0(7).

So, this is going to be a massive ask for Afghanistan. Superb batting display this by England. England did lost some wickets in the end but the damage was done. Ben Stokes was the sixth England wicket to fell. This is England's highest team total in World Cup history. Meanwhile, Afghanistan will be disappointed by their bowling effort. Do join us back for their respone with the bat.

OUT! Jos Buttler departs for just two runs. Afghanistan picking some consolation wickets towards the end. But England have already piled mammoth total. J Buttler c Nabi b Dawlat Zadran 2(2).

OUT! Consolation wicket this for Afghanistan. Eoin Morgan holes out to long-off. He was looking for his 18th six! Nonetheless, what a special knock by the England captain. E Morgan c Rahmat b Naib 148(71).

OUT! Joe Root holes out to long-on fielder. Some relief this for Afghanistan. Root was heading towards his third century in this World Cup but perishes while going for a big shot. J Root c Rahmat b Naib 88(82)

Last five overs coming up now. England well be looking to go past 370-run mark from here. Will be interesting to see how Afghanistan bowlers respond now. Meanwhile, Joe Root is nearing his century as well.

Eoin Morgan has completed his century. He takes just 57 balls. This is the fourth fastest century in World Cup history. What a knock by England captain this.
