8:52 PM This is Rod Lyall saying goodbye for now, and I hope you've enjoyed our coverage of this series. I'll be putting more photos from the first match onto the site later this evening. Come back soon for more news, views and pictures from the website that really knows Associates and Affiliates cricket!
8:49 PM The teams now have another day off, and then start a four-day Intercontinental Cup match on Saturday. With the Afghan attack seriously weakened by injury, they will need to be at their absolute best, and they'll be hoping that their batsmen can give the bowlers more protection than they did today.
8:46 PM
8:46 PM The Man of the Match award goes to Canada's Khurram Chauhan, who ripped the top off the Aghan batting to set up a comfortable victory.
8:31 PM
8:29 PM Sandeep Jhoti and Ash Bagai's third-wicket stand of 82 pretty much settled the issue, although the Canadians wobbled a little, losing four quick wickets before Jawad Dawood came in and belted two fours and two sixes to take the pressure off, and the winning run came with more than ten overs left.
8:27 PM After the last-ball thriller on Tuesday, this was a much more one-sided battle, after Canada reduced Afghanistan to 38 for five in less than ten overs. Asghar Stanikzai, Raees Ahmadzai and Mohammad Nabi got them up to 177, but it never seemed likely to be enough.
