Rain has receded. Pitch inspection in 15 minutes.

Rain at SCG. Afgh 111-7 off 36. ICC ruling: as Eng have been playing 1990s cricket, the 1992 Rain Rule will apply. England need 342 off 12.

Though the match does not hold much significance with respect to their qualification this World Cup, England would want to win the match comprehensively as they may want to fly back home with at least a consolation smile.

Wicket for Jordan! Zazai nicks a fullish delivery and Buttler does the business. 25-3 and a wicket apiece for Broad, Anderson and Jordan.
