Nice shot, skip. A ripple of applause goes round the University Oval as Preston Mommsen unfurls a cover drive to the boundary.

Hamid Hassan loves to accessorise. He's wearing war paint, a team-coloured bandana and sticky tape/plasters on his arm. Scotland are on the back foot now and they push the odd single into the gaps as their rebuilding job begins.

Duncan Garrett:, external Got a feeling this Afghanistan attack is going to cause England some grief when they play.

The biggest compliment I can pay Afghanistan is that their bowling does not look associate standard. There are Test-playing nations who haven't got a trio of quicks as good as Dawlat Zadran, Shapoor Zadran and Hamid Hassan. All three are quick and all three can move the ball off the seam. Scotland skipper Preston Mommsen is off the mark with a cut for four.

"Scotland, up until the last over, would have been quite happy to be only one down but now Afghanistan have their tails up and it's going to be very hard work for Scotland.

"We saw Afghanistan's adrenaline last time become a bit of an issue but they are a bit calmer today and don't seem to be getting so carried away."

Scotland... you're in a pickle now. Kyle Coetzer is bowled by one which nips back and gets through the gap between bat and pad to rattle the timbers. Coetzer was playing down the wrong line - he played down Bakerloo when it was on Piccadilly.

Matt Machan joins Kyle Coetzer at the crease. Possibly Scotland's two best batsmen together at a critical time.

"I'm pretty sure that was hitting middle, perhaps middle and leg, but that was three very good balls from Hassan.

Third time lucky for Hamid Hassan, who has a leg-before and a strangle down the leg side against Hamish Gardiner turned down. There's no doubt about the third appeal though as the ball crashes into the right-hander's pad. Plumb.

The average score in the first 10 overs of this World Cup is 47. Hardly trailblazing stuff - teams prefer to lay a solid foundation and then go big at the end. The general rule now is to double the score at 31 overs. That's what the stats say anyway.

Scotland are ticking along fairly nicely - ones and twos the main fayre for now.

Kyle Coetzer is middling the ball nicely, no edges on his bat. Hamid Hassan delivers a maiden over.

Shapoor has changed ends. He's now running in from the other end! I'm not sure that it's official name, but it'll do for now.

Anyway, Shapoor doesn't look to be getting too much joy from the switch. He is still getting good pace and bounce but not much movement in the last over or so.

Here comes John Rambo, who is going under the name of Hamid Hassan for this tournament. Right-arm quick, he bustles in and puts the ball in the corridor but when he does err too wide, Kyle Coetzer throws the kitchen sink and benefits from four via a fielding mistake. Of all the men to upset, Rambo would be low on my list of favoured targets. The bowler's mood isn't helped by a glorious straight drive for four next up. Coetzer is looking in good nick.

"It feels like an end-of-summer day in Dunedin, they type you get in late August in the UK. Warm in the sunshine, cool in the shade.

"The University Oval is filling with a steady stream of people still coming in. The grassy banks are busy, the temporary seating less so. From below, there's a chant of 'let's go Scotland' from a young voice, but it's an early struggle for the Scots."

There's quite a few Scotland supporters inside the ground for this one. Plenty are sporting tartan, ginger wigs and are armed with bagpipes. What better way to spend your Thursday morning? Dawlat Zadran is bowling some beauties, again he gets the ball to rag from middle to off. You've got to be a very good batsman to get a nick on that. Maiden over.

In the spirit of Rambo-lookalike Hamid Hassan, we're asking for your cricketers who could be Hollywood stunt doubles...

The straw-coloured pitch has good pace and carry, and the Afghanistan new-ball bowlers are looking dangerous. Kyle Coetzer, however, is able to be patient and he again pounces on the one bad ball in the over when he clatters four over extra cover.

"Coetzer is looking good again. He's been watchful, but he's cracked a couple away, and he's the only one showing any confidence."

Dawlat Zadran is an impressive bowler. He had Calum MacLeod on toast before he eventually got him - one delivery unplayable as it pitched on middle and whistled past off, like an 85mph leg-break. He continues to tear in and bowl at back of a length, nibbling the ball this way and that. Another four for Coetzer comes when he flays a loose ball through point.

Afghanistan have got three slips in place as they look to take a few early wickets on this helpful-looking pitch. Kyle Coetzer, rather like he did against England, stays on the back foot and looks to hit the ball into the off side. He pounces on a short and wide delivery and slices it for four. Much more control in that shot than Calum MacLeod's effort.
