Tournament debutants Afghanistan sent England packing from the Champions Trophy after opener Ibrahim Zadran's epic 177 set up their narrow eight-run victory in a Group B thriller on Wednesday. Zadran produced the highest score in the tournament's history to help Afghanistan overcome Jofra Archer's three early wickets and rack up 325-7.

Afghanistan have knocked England out of the tournament in a Champions Trophy sensation — and will now seek to do the same to Australia.

Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat against England in a must-win Champions Trophy game for both teams.
