Morgan, England set records in World Cup win over Afghans

Associated Press  

MANCHESTER, England — Eoin Morgan came out swinging in an innings that started with an awkward-looking tangle involving his opposing captain, and ended with a world-record clutter of sixes. “Getting quite old, hobbling around with a bad back, you never think you’re going to produce an innings like that,” the 32-year-old Morgan joked as he collected the player of the match award. A doubtful starter at Old Trafford because of back spasms in England’s previous game, Morgan was barely an over into his innings when he got an inside edge to Afghanistan skipper Gulbadin Naib and shaped to run for a single. He showed his class — I’ve never seen this kind of level.” Afghanistan’s total beat its 232 against Sri Lanka in Dunedin four years ago as a World Cup high. He took 22 off one over against Rashid and generally dismantled Afghanistan’s best bowler, who conceded the worst ever figures in a World Cup game of 9-0-110-0.
