    WICKET

    Wade c Janat b Rashid Khan 5 (Aus 108-7) Target 149

    Another wicket for Afghanistan!

    Captain Rashid Khan brings himself back into bowl for his last over.

    The first ball has Wade sweeping.

    It fails to carry, Janat runs in from fine leg, dives in front and takes the catch.

    Afghanistan are on the charge.

  3. Aus 108-6

    Target 149

    With five overs to go, let's assess.

    Australia need 41 runs off 30 balls to win.

    Matthew Wade and Pat Cummins are out in the middle, both of which are striking at less than a run-a-ball.

    It's anyone's game here.

    That is a huge moment!

    WICKET

    Maxwell c Ahmad Noor b Gulbadin Naib 59 (Aus 106-6) Target 149

    Afghanistan get the prized wicket of Glenn Maxwell!

    A stunning catch befitting of the importance of that wicket.

    Gulbadin Naib had Maxwell cutting, he picks out Ahmad Noor at backward point who dives diagonally to his left and holds on to a superb low catch.

    That could be the turning point in this match.

  6. After 14.2 overs, Afghanistan were 105-0. Australia are a run ahead, but five wickets further back at 106-5.

    There's a lot of dew out there now and it's very humid, which is making it difficult for the bowlers.

  8. Aus 105-5

    Target 149

    Naveen-ul-Haq's return with the ball brings up an 11-run over for Australia, which is very welcome at this stage of the chase.

    They require 44 runs off 36 balls to win from here.

    The pressure is now telling on Afghanistan's outfielders.

  10. Aus 99-5

    Target 149

    At this stage, Afghanistan cannot afford to be giving out free runs.

    Maxwell cuts towards deep point and Janat misses the ball completing, gifting an unnecessary four.

  11. Paul Horton
    Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds

    There's always a gap straight and two fielders came round looking for the catch. It was just in the middle of them.

    Aus 94-5 (Target 149)

    Both of Gulbadin Naib's overs have produced wickets, but they have also both ended in boundaries for Glenn Maxwell.

    He clubs the final ball of the 13th over back over the bowler's head, just about making six to reach his half century in 35 balls.

    Right now, it feels like Afghanistan v Maxwell.

  13. Aatif Nawaz

    Australia are in all sorts of trouble now.

    WICKET

    David lbw b Gulbadin Naib 2 (Aus 85-5) Target 149

    Hitting leg stump on umpire's call, Tim David is out!

    For a second over, Gulbadin Naib has come up with the goods and the umpire's decision really helped him iout when it came to the review.

    Glenn Maxwell is set, but he may run out of partners if this carries on like it is.

    Another blow for Australia.

  15. Paul Horton
    Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds

    This is going to be clipping leg - it'll be given as umpire's call.

  16. Australia review

    Aus 85-4 (Target 149)

    Afghanistan may have their fifth wicket here.

    Gulbadin Naib hits the pads of Tim David. After a pause, the finger goes up.

    Australia immediately take it upstairs.

  17. Aus 84-4

    Target 149

    With eight overs to go, Australia need 65 runs off 48 balls for victory.

    Golden arm Gulbadin Naib is back in for the next over.

  18. Paul Horton
    Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds

    Maxwell is playing a different game to his fellow Australians. He's running the show.

  19. 6 runs

    Aus 83-4

    Target 149

    Every time Glenn Maxwell hits a big shot, Afghanistan's players must be getting flashbacks of that 201 not out just a few months ago.

    Another six, this time clubbed over long on.

    If they can get him out, surely they must feel like one massive hurdle is overcome.

  20. Aatif Nawaz

    That was muscled to the boundary.
