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

    He won't get many better half-centuries than that, against a world-class bowling attack. He's been very measured and composed.

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

    This is an invaluable half-century - now he'll be looking to tee off.

  3. 50 runs

    50 for Rahmanullah Gurbaz

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz brings up a superb half-century from 44 balls.

    He gets there with a single. This has been such a good innings for Afghanistan from their exciting opener.

  4. Afg 105-0

    Beauty!

    What a delivery from Ashton Agar. Fired in on middle and leg, it rips away to beat Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

    Afghanistan have really applied themselves on a difficult pitch.

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

    It's going to be a tough chase this - there's a lot happening with that pitch.

  7. Afg 104-0

    Not a massive over but Afghanistan have done brilliantly in terms of keeping the scoreboard moving.

    Three singles to end the over and the Australians are really ticking now.

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

    It's easier to play like this in the first innings too, because there's no scoreboard pressure.

  9. Afg 100-0

    Gurbaz 48, Zadran 45

    Cut up and over backward point by Ibrahim Zadran.

    Four runs to bring up the 100 partnership. Superb batting.

    There is some real frustration within this Australia team now. Afghanistan are really building the pressure.

  11. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Sounds

    Ashton Agar needs a lot of extra fielding practice, he has given up four extra runs so far today.

  12. Afg 96-0

    Is the pressure starting to tell for Australia?!

    After that missed stumping, he now have another error in the deep by Ashton Agar.

    Ibrahim Zadran clubbed a full toss from Adam Zampa but should only get a single.

    Instead, for the second time tonight, the bouncing ball goes through Agar's hands for four.

  13. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Sounds

    You can sense that Afghanistan are really trying to take on Adam Zampa in this over.

  14. Missed stumping

    Afg 90-0

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes again, dancing down the track but missing with an almighty swipe.

    It was a googly by Adam Zampa to beat him but the batter gets another reprieve as the ball bounces out of Matthew Wade's gloves.

  15. Not out

    The faintest of inside edges saves Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

    Without it, he looked to be in big trouble.

  16. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Sounds

    That might be out, unless there is an inside edge.

  17. Australia review

    Is it six and out for Rahmanullah Gurbaz?

    He's pinned on the front pad by Adam Zampa and it looks close...

  18. Afg 90-0

    Brilliant from Rahmanullah Gurbaz!

    Tossed up by Adam Zampa and Gurbaz hammers it back over his head for six!

    You can see Australia panicking, it is not often you see that. You can hear from shouting at each other.

  20. Afg 83-0

    Marcus Stoinis ends with two dot balls after more excellent running between the wickets from the Afghanistan openers.

    This pitch might not be the easiest to bat on - although it has got easier the longer the batters have been in - so the value of good running is even greater.
