Afghanistan v England: Champions Trophy cricket live
Briefly

Afghanistan surprised everyone by winning the toss and opting to bat first against England. Jamie Overton was included in the squad as a seam bowling all-rounder. An email from a fan, Guy Hornsby, discussed England's potential performance and their need for improvement, especially looking forward to facing South Africa in upcoming matches. There's a recognition of Afghanistan's growing credibility as a cricketing team, emphasizing the importance for England to remain sharp and focused during the match.
We've got our first email and it's none other than Guy Hornsby: Morning Daniel. I hope you've got your white whale South Africa shirt ready for their next game. As for England, helped by the weather, I'm not sure it'll mean much. We can, should, and probably will win today. As gutted as I am for Carse, I think Overton's variations will give us more options today.
So much more needed from this team to get anywhere. Because we won't stand a chance against SA if we don't play better. Agree that Afghanistan are a serious team.
