Seems to be the run of things for Afghanistan today.
Just getting carried away, Rashid Khan. Still a lot of time left, if someone like him stays in, then they can do a lot of damage.
Very disappointing. These are the wickets that peg you back.
Rashid c Maxwell b Dwarshius 19 (Afg 235-8)
That's the end of Rashid Khan's cameo.
He slashed the previous ball for four, but Ben Dwarshius gets his revenge as Rashid slices a top edge straight up in the air and Glenn Maxwell makes no mistake running in from long-on.

A hint of desperation from Rashid Khan. They needed that boundary and he has managed to chalk it past Josh Inglis.
The main thing that Afghanistan need to do is not get bowled out before the 50th over.
That would be criminal on this pitch.
A streak of luck for Rashid Khan, who charges at a slower ball from Nathan Ellis and gets an outside edge down to deep third.
Ellis just gives a wry smile in response.

This is good from Rashid Khan, he has played a gem and he's been busy. He's scampered ones into twos.
Canny bowling from Ben Dwarshius, who concedes just six from the over without a boundary.
But Rashid Khan is looking proactive, running well between the wickets, as Afghanistan seek a big finish.
Rashid Khan connects well with a sweep but is denied a boundary by a sprawling Matt Short at deep square.
Still, 12 from the over is a very good result for Afghanistan there.

It looks like Afghanistan have decided that Adam Zampa is the one they're going to go after.
Or maybe Azmatullah Omarzai can just do it, instead.
Adam Zampa's first ball is smoked for six.

If Australia can't complete this run chase then they're watching the England game tomorrow.
Australia would need England to win and for the net run-rate to go there way.
Rashid Khan has provided plenty of magic for Afghanistan during his career so far, and they need something special here.
Just four singles off Nathan Ellis' seventh over.
Steve Smith has managed his bowlers brilliantly in the middle overs.
Adam Zampa whizzes through another, and he still has three remaining.
Ryan Campbell

A big wicket.
That brings the hitters in a fraction too early for Afghanistan. Gulbadin Naib tried to heave that away to the leg-side and gets a top edge.
Josh Inglis as safe as houses, takes the catch.
Gulbadin c Inglis b Ellis 4 (Afg 199-7)
But it doesn't cost very much!
Another short ball, another top edge, and Josh Inglis steadies himself underneath it to take a simple catch.
10 overs to go and Afghanistan are struggling.
Ryan Campbell
Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Almost an absolute belter, the elbow hits the ground. It was a fantastic effort, but it goes down.
Afg 197-6
Oh, Matt Short! That would've been spectacular.
Gulbadin Naib miscues a short ball from Nathan Ellis, which flies towards Short at mid-wicket, where he leaps full-stretch and gets one hand to it.
He has it, but the ball just pops out as he hits the ground. A big chance.
He also contributed to the run out of Mohammad Nabi a few overs ago to leave Afghanistan wobbling at six down.
Well, there is a boundary, but it flies off Gulbadin Naib's helmet as he gets in a right tangle trying to play a Spencer Johnson short ball.
That completes Johnson's spell - he finishes with 2-49.
Just four from Nathan Ellis' over, but Afghanistan are desperately in need of some boundaries now.
Australia made chasing 351 look like a walk in the park against England so at the moment, they'll be full of confidence.
Weird.
Josh Inglis is utterly convinced that Azmatullah Omarzai has nicked one behind, but it's the quickest review you'll ever see as you could fit a bus through the gap between bat and ball.
