The 8th match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 between the Group B teams - Afghanistan and England - is currently underway at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
The star leg-spinner Rashid Khan has not looked at his very best in ODI cricket for quite some time and the same story continued in the Afghanistan vs England match.
On the fourth ball of the over, Rashid bowled a full delivery that was projected to hit the middle-and-leg and hit Ben Duckett on the pads. Rashid went for a wild and prolonged appeal, but the umpire, Rod Tucker, wasn't interested. A review was taken, and on the UltraEdge, it showed that the ball would hit the stumps and Duckett was declared out.
It landed on the outside off-stump and was a short-length delivery. Root easily went back and pulled the ball wide of mid-wicket for a four to punish Rashid for his bizarre delivery.
