Afghanistan 283 for 4 in 47.2 overs (Rahmat 100*, Najibullah 89*, Wheal 2-51) v Scotland Match abandoned Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Scotlands first ODI at home in more than two years ended in frustrating fashion, with the first game of the two-match series against Afghanistan finishing in a no result. Yet the partisan Afghanistan crowd got their moneys worth - and a steal it was for the ￡10 charged at the gate - before play was abandoned with Afghanistan at 283 for 4 in 47.2 overs, courtesy Rahmat Shahs maiden ODI ton and a career-best 89 not out from Najibullah Zadran.The visitors kicked off their seven-match European ODI tour in menacing fashion, Rahmat and Najibullah producing a record fifth-wicket partnership for Afghanistan in ODIs. They added an unbroken 157 - the fourth best for any wicket in ODIs for Afghanistan - after coming together at 126 for 4 in the 31st over.While Rahmat ended the day ahead of Najibullah in the runs column, the 23-year-old left-hander evoked a more emotional response from the vocal Afghanistan supporters in the crowd, with chants of Na-jib! Na-Jib! Na-Jib! growing louder after each six.Rahmat was on 40 before Najibullah faced his first ball, and the frenetic rollercoaster ride began three balls into the 32nd over, when an edged drive off Alasdair Evans barely eluded the reach of wicketkeeper Matthew Cross for the first of Najibullahs nine fours. His second boundary in the following over, a Brad Wheal half-tracker creamed over midwicket, was a portent of what was to come.After Rahmat brought up his fifty off 88 balls with back-to-back pulled fours, Rahmat turned the steering wheel to Najibullah, who flashed two more boundaries, before rain stopped play for the first time with the score at 180 for 4 in 39 overs. A 100-minute break ensued with lunch taken early to ensure no overs were deducted.Upon resumption, Rahmat briefly became the aggressor with four more boundaries before Najibullah took over. He targeted Evans midway through the 42nd and a booming drive over mid-off was the first of five sixes. A single off Wheal in the 43rd brought up his fifty in 35 balls before he smashed two sixes off debutant Ruaidhri Smith over mid-off in the 44th over. Najib then shifted his focus to the midwicket fence in the 46th, hammering a free-hit from Safyaan Sharif into the practice nets before Evans was heaved over the same region to end the 47th.Amid the fireworks supplied by Najibullah, Rahmat inconspicuously made his way to 99 for the start of the 48th and a single took him to three figures in 123 balls.Najibullah was on 87 off 52 balls and with 17 balls remaining in the innings, he looked set to break the Afghanistan record for the fastest ODI century, jointly held by Karim Sadiq against Netherlands and Mohammad Shahzad against Scotland in 72 balls.Rain, however, had returned to impact proceedings, the free-hit in the prior over came after Sharif - struggling to grip the damp ball - bowled a beamer that cleared Najibullahs head by two feet and was desperately knocked down by a leaping Cross to prevent five extras. After Najibullah pushed for two on the second ball of the 48th, the umpires took the players off for good.Scotland had made a reasonable start, after inserting Afghanistan, with Wheal producing extra bounce to clip the shoulder of Noor Ali Zadrans bat as Cross snapped up the chance in the third over to make it 7 for 1. Shahzad survived a strong lbw shout from Evans in the following over, while on 6, and then feasted on the fast bowler for three boundaries in a see-saw eighth over. Evans, however, hit back with a full ball to have Shahzad lbw for 26.Rahmat joined Javed Ahmadi for an assured 53-run stand that was broken when Ahmadi couldnt keep a Sharif yorker out. Captain Asghar Stanikzai made 20 before Wheal beat him for pace with a short ball and had him fluttering a pull to Con de Lange at mid-on. Wheal got carried away with the short-ball strategy against Rahmat and Najibullah, and paid the price with inflated figures of 2 for 51 in nine overs. It was Evans, though, who struggled the most to find a consistent length and was left nursing the most expensive figures of the day - 1 for 73.The two sides return to the Grange on Wednesday, with more promising weather on the horizon, for the second and final match of the series. Afghanistan then depart for Belfast, where they will take on Ireland in a five-match ODI series. Justin Verlander Astros Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. We had 27 experts pick who they think will win the MVP in the AL and the NL. The voting breakdown is listed below as well as the votes of our experts.Who will win the AL MVP award?1.?Mike Trout Los Angeles Angels VOTES: 13MLBs WAR leader (10.6) and the lone player in double digits, Trout also led in runs scored, walks and OBP and finished second in the AL in OPS and stolen bases, fourth in slugging and sixth in batting average. That all speaks to the broad blend of value Trout delivered on the diamond, but he also finished eighth in Defensive Runs Saved among AL center fielders.2.?Mookie Betts Boston Red Sox VOTES: 12Much of Betts case doesnt rest on his position on the leaderboard -- not that theres anything wrong with his MLB-best 359 total bases, spiced with 31 home runs, 26 steals in 30 tries, an .897 OPS and 32 Defensive Runs Saved, which was best among right fielders. Its all of that, plus his highlight-reel defense and the context of Betts performance coming while he spent most of the year leading off for a Red Sox team that won an always-tough AL East.3. Jose Altuve Houston Astros VOTES: 2Consistency might be the key to Altuves case. He won his second AL batting title while leading MLB in hits for a second time. He also notched his fifth straight season with 30 steals. But not everything sttayed the same -- this was the season that he ratcheted up his power-speed combo by ripping a career-high 24 home runs.dddddddddddd However, a .699 OPS in the last month of the season as the Astros tumbled out of the postseason picture didnt help him when ballots were being cast.Who will win the NL MVP award?1.?Kris Bryant Chicago Cubs VOTES: 26Because Bryant only led the league in runs scored among the classic back of the baseball card stats, his case might look like an example of the best player on the best team getting the most votes. But its more than that: Bryant also finished third in the NL in home runs and total bases, fourth in OPS and slugging and was a full win ahead of the competition with an NL-best 7.2 WAR.2.?Daniel Murphy Washington Nationals VOTES: 1Murphy almost won the batting title, losing by a point while hitting .347, and he doubled down on his newfound power by leading the league in slugging (.595), which added up to an NL-best .985 OPS. His 104 RBIs, good for fourth in the NL, and a league-leading 47 doubles all helped put him in the conversation for MVP.(Editors note -- Corey Seager was initially listed with one vote, which was changed to Bryant) ' ' '
