ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, Headingley, Leeds
Afghanistan 227-9 (50 overs): Afghan 42, Najibullah 42, Shaheen 4-47
Pakistan 230-7 (49.4 overs): Wasim 49*, Babar 45, Nabi 2-23
Pakistan won by three wickets
Scorecard;Table;Schedule
Pakistan survived a scare to beat Afghanistan by three wickets with two balls remaining in a thriller at Headingley that moves Sarfaraz Ahmed's side above England in the race for a World Cup semi-final spot.
Chasing 228 for victory, Pakistan fell to 81-3 and 156-6 as Afghanistan turned the screw and, with 48 needed from 36 balls, it looked out of Pakistan's hands.
However, a disastrous 46th over by Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib was smashed for 18 runs by Imad Wasim to put Pakistan back in control.
Despite Shadab Khan being run out with 22 runs needed for victory, Imad and Wahab Riaz held their nerve, with Wahab striking the first six of the innings to take the rate down to a run a ball.
In an astonishing finish, Imad drove Gulbadin to the boundary to reach an unbeaten 49, tie up victory and move his side ahead of England in the table.
It makes it more likely that England will need to beat both India on Sunday and New Zealand on Wednesday to reach the last four.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, are still winless - and just as they did against India, they have come tantalisingly close to a stunning victory.

England duly win after an odd performace by India which looked ta the beginning and the end as if they were not intent on beating England but more intent on seeing Pakistan knocked out, but that is possibly me being cynical
