  1. Aus 121-9

    Target 149

    Adam Zampa thick-edges for four off Fazalhaq Farooqi, this World Cup's leading wicket-taker who is yet to take one in this match.

    He and Josh Hazlewood remain in, for now.

    The question is when not if for Afghanistan now.

    You've got to give a lot of credit to the captaincy of Rashid Khan and the way he has rotated his bowlers and used his resources.

  4. Aus 116-9

    Target 149

    Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood are still surviving for now, but that really is all it is.

    Afghanistan will have hoped for victory before a ball was bowled in St Vincent and the Grenadines, never mind a chance to boost their net run-rate while doing so.

    The quicker that final wicket falls, the better.

  5. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    This has also helped Afghanistan with their net run-rate too.

    What a catch! I was expecting a boundary!

    Is there anything Gulbadin Naib can't do?

    Ashton Agar drives and picks out Gulbadin Naib at mid-wicket, who takes a superb catch, fresh off taking four wickets of his own, to leave Afghanistan one wicket away from victory.

    This has been a superb display from Afghanistan with bat and ball.

  8. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    This isn't an upset - Afghanistan are a world-class team who are capable of beating anybody.

  9. Aus 113-8

    Target 149

    Gulbadin Naib was Afghanistan's eighth bowler in this match.

    He picked up wickets in all four of his overs and ends with figures of 4-20.

    Australia need 36 runs off 18 balls and Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa are the two men in the middle.

  10. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    There is barely any chance Australia will win now.

  11. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Pat Cummins played that too early - he had no clue. This is a match-winning spell.

  12. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Cummins just can't lay his bat on it.

    Gulbadin Naib has his fourth wicket!

    This has been superb bowling from Gulbadin Naib.

    He goes for another slower ball and Pat Cummins is nowhere near it, cleaning up middle and leg stump.

    Afghanistan are two wickets away from a famous victory.

  14. Not out

    Aus 111-7 (Target 149)

    No bat involved and Afghanistan are out of reviews.

  15. Charlie Taylor
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Cummins looks concerned but that might just be the match situation.

  16. Umpire review

    Aus 111-7 (Target 149)

    Gulbadin Naib, who has three wickets in as many overs, come in for his last over.

    Pat Cummins swings at a slower ball, which is taken by Gurbaz behind him.

    A muted appeal but Rashid Khan takes it upstairs for a look.

  17. Aus 111-7

    Target 149

    Rashid Khan is frustrated as he feels there was a chance for a run out at the end of the over.

    Still, Afghanistan very much have this in their control and they have plenty of options up their sleeve.

  18. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    I think Australia will come through here and win still.

  19. Paul Horton
    Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds

    I think Australia are going to lose by five runs...

  20. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Two stunning catches under pressure - and that is the difference in this game.
