"The main man has gone. He has chipped in some good runs for Afghanistan in the tournament. He tried to sweep one earlier and misjudged it and tried again there and got a top-edge. It is going to be a tough period for Afghanistan now."

Shenwari got away with a loopy, top-edge in the last over, but this time, his luck isn't in. He tries to sweep Michael Clarke, he reckons without a bit of extra bounce, and ends up plopping a simple catch into the hands of Mitchell Johnson at short fine leg.

"That was a vey well bowled bouncer in that over and caught him the batsman a difficult angle. It was perfect line and actually caught him on the bottom of the grill. That is the thing with Johnson, he has this slingey action, which will make him difficult to pick up on this pitch."

Unsurprisingly, Mitchell Marsh is withdrawn from the attack, and replaced by another of Australia's Mitchells: Johnson. At his best, Johnson can extract steep bounce from the surface - and he gets one to spit up onto the splice of Shenwari, who is lucky to see the ball fall safe on the leg side.

After seeing off a couple of short and quick ones, Shenwari gets his revenge with a punchy drive through mid-off four four.

Shenwari has been very much the main man for Afghanistan so far in this tournament, with scores of 42, 38 and 96 so far. He's batting with a bit of responsibility here, as befits that status - just knocking Clarke for singles at the moment. Three off the latest over of part-time spin.

Now this is rather odd. Mitchell Marsh pulled up grimacing at the end of his last over, but he has decided to continue, despite clearly still being in some pain. All rather unnecessary, given the non-competitive nature of this target, and the fact that he's not even a front-line bowler. It looks like he may have strained a hamstring. He struggles his way through another six balls of medium pace - surely that will be the last bowling action he sees today?

Thanks Sam. Michael Clarke continues, and as you'd expect from a part-timer, there are a couple of loose deliveries, but on this occasion, Mangal can't find the power to belt him out of the park. Just four from the over.

Shenwari connects with a square cut. Warner gives chase - boy is he fast - but even he can't quite prevent a four. This is all quite fun at the moment. And bouncing into the hot seat to see you through to the close is James Gheerbrant.

After the chaos, the calm, as Afghanistan safely negotiate an over from Michael Clarke.

"What a shot that first one was. Huge. It was a length ball in the slot and he swung it away. Like they say, 'If it is in the arc, it is in the park.' The second one was in the arc again. And suddenly the Afghanistan flags are being waved."

Ooh la la. Mangal mangles Mitchell Marsh. (Try saying that in a hurry.) Even the Australians are on their feet as Mangal steps across his stumps and heaves two successive balls over midwicket into the stands.

"Good areas Michael," comes the cry after a tidy little over. Two runs and a bit of relief for the Afghan pair.

Three down. 11 gone. We could be in record defeat territory here. Hang on, here's Michael Clarke. He didn't bat. But he's going to have to bowl...

"You look at those last two shots and it reminds me of me. It is the kind of shots a tail-ender would play, off the back foot, skied into the air and from the second one he has to perish."

Stanikzai is not hanging around. He skies the first ball of the over and the ball lands safely but his luck runs out as his next shot finds the safe hands of Stevie Smith. Ominous signs.

Full scorecard

Mangal, whose average is a healthy 33.46, unfurls the shot of the innings with a drive past mid-off that gathers pace as it skims across the grass and slaps into the rope. The next ball is hammered straight into the ground, then loops over Hazlewood's head for four more.

Asghar Stanikzai looks no match for Johnson. He gets a couple off a bottom edge, but otherwise it's a string of wild wafts outside off stump.

"That was genuine pace and bounce. Ahmadi left the bat out there and tried to lift it over the slips but just popped it to Michael Clarke, who had been doing some catching work in the interval with Darren Lehmann. He had time to just jump slightly and take it above his head."

Ahmadi is gone. He tries to guide a Hazlewood ball away to third man, but picks out Michael Clarke at second slip.
