Afghanistan are tailing off here and losing the momentum.
Rashid Khan c David b Cummins 2 (Afg 126-4)
Another over ends with a wicket as Australia's fightback continues.
Pat Cummins varied his pace cleverly throughout the over and it is another slower ball - an off-cutter - that does the trick.
Rashid Khan tries to heave it over long-on but mistimes the shot and Tim David takes a regulation catch.

Rashid Khan is just standing there and swinging the bat.

Travis Head got too close to it in the end.
Afg 126-3
Slower ball from Pat Cummins, Rashid Khan sends it spiralling into the off side and it should be caught.
Travis Head comes running in, makes the ground well but still has the dive and the ball goes right through his hands.

Zadran c Marsh b Zampa 51 (Afg 122-3)
Two in the over for Adam Zampa!
Another quicker one, this time dragged down but it bounces remarkably to surprise Ibrahim Azdran - it's almost a bouncer!
The set batter can only dolly it up to Mitchell Marsh at backward point as he tries to power it away.
Momentum has switched quickly in Australia's favour.
Paul Horton
Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds
It zipped through, out of the front of the hand. It wasn't a big spinner.
Omarzai b Zampa 2 (Afg 121-2)
Now Adam Zampa has made an impact!
Quicker ball from the leg-spinner and it skids through to beat Azmatullah Omarzai as he tried to force the ball through the leg side.
Shows it is not easy to start on this surface.
Paul Horton
Ex-Lancashire batter on BBC Sounds
Zampa has not had the same impact tonight as he has had in previous matches. Maybe it's the dew taking effect.
Azmatullah Omarzai is the new batter for Afghanistan and he's off the mark with a single.
Adam Zampa will bowl the next over for Australia.

It just got too high on the bat and Warner has taken a simple catch.
Gurbaz c Warner b Stoinis 60 (Afg 118-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesThe end of a wonderful knock - and a send-off from Marcus Stoinis...
Banged in short by the all-rounder, Rahmanullah Gurbaz took it on but didn't make the connection he wanted.
Simple enough catch for David Warner in the deep and, dare I say it, Stoinis' reaction suggests Australia are a little rattled here.
Charlie Taylor
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Gurbaz is going big now. This is the moment.
Stand and deliver from Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
Banged in by Marcus Stoinis and Gurbaz dispatches him over deep mid-wicket!
Ibrahim Zadran joins his opening partner in reaching his half-century from 46 balls.
He's been excellent as well. What a stand this has been for Afghanistan.
Aatif Nawaz
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds
Agar has been outstanding but Afghanistan have seen him off and the last five overs could be lucrative for them now.
More good running to end the over as this Afghanistan pair with seemingly limitless energy sprint back for two.
Ashton Agar is done, he ends with 0-17 from his four overs.
Five overs to go...
