Here's what Pakistan's win against UAE does to the Pool B table.

That's two wins in two for Misbah-ul-Haq's side after their opening two defeats against India and West Indies.

Could be one that goes right down to the wire for the quarter-final berths.

"Australia were looking a bit nervous but that seems an eon ago. They looked as though they wanted to get 400 but they were going about it wrong, but now they've got the ball rolling. Warner could make 200 easily."

Warner hammers his way to 150 with a straight drive to the mid-off boundary, which sees him stylishly drop to one knee. He follows this up later in the over with another four. It is almost cruel to watch. One number top be aware of at this juncture is the highest total ever recorded at a World Cup, which is the 413 India scored against Bermuda in 2007. If Australia don't beat this, they will be close.

It's drinks time. And how Afghanistan need it.

Man of the match, Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad spoke after his 93: "I'm pretty satisfied with the game. Everybody knew we had to step up our batting after the last match where Wahab Riaz got us out of trouble against Zimbabwe.

"So, I think we all took a bit of responsibility and I'm really happy to see the way Haris Sohail and Misbah-ul-Haq batted and it gives us some momentum ahead of a tough game against South Africa."

Poor Dawlat is getting taken to the cleaners by Warner. The Aussie opener plants two more sixes into the stands (one straight, one to mid-wicket).

In amongst the excitement there is a sobering moment as the second six beats a diving catch attempt from one fan and hits a young boy on the arm, prompting the stadium staff to rush to his aid. Thankfully, he appears to be OK.

It's all over in Napier where Pakistan have won by 129 runs in the Pool B encounter.

Misbah-ul-Haq's men were always in control after Ahmed Shehzad's 93 set them on a course for an imposing 339-6.

Shaiman Anwar maintained his run of good form for UAE with an impressive 62, but the Associate were always up against it at 25-3 in reply before finishing up on 210-8.

Nabi looks to rectify some of the damage of that last over. He doesn't concede any more boundaries but not through a lack of trying from Warner in particular, who hits with power but not precision to add four more runs. This is going to be a long and painful 19 remaining overs for the Afghanistan bowlers.

"David Warner was really scratching around at the start of the innings - he's not scratching around any more. The umpires are paranoid about the ball going out of shape - it's taken quite a clattering."

After a very conservative start (in support of the flourishing Warner), Smith is now in full flight. He produces a superb stroke to drive a Dawlat ball back past the bowler for four before handing responsibility over to Warner to slam his foot on to the accelerator by hammering successive sixes over long on and then cutting down to the third man boundary to take his team past 200.

Smith brings up his 50 with a gift of a boundary from Nabi, who is short and wide and cut away. It is his fourth ODI 50 and his first proper score of this tournament. Warner is then given a huge let-off as he looks to cut a short ball and edges it but straight into the chest of Afsar, who cannot react quickly enough to gather the falling ball.

"I like that we have a couple of spots for the Associate teams. Sixteen teams at a World Cup would be too many - you've got to do the hard work to play at the World Cup - but you wouldn't want to go down to ten teams. I think the 50-over format is a great stepping stone for the Associate teams to even play Test cricket."

Rambo Hassan charges in again but poses few problems for the Aussie pair, who add a sextet singles to their threatening total. If Afghanistan don't break this partnership soon they are going to be chasing a massive total (which is probably unavoidable now regardless).

Afghanistan are struggling to stem the tide of boundaries now. Smith flicks Shenwari's over-pitched first ball to leg to collect four more runs to take him to 45. He has accelerated noticeably in the last few overs. He adds another to his tally before Warner rotates the strike himself with another sharply-taken single.

Thanks James. Well, this is looking very ominous for Afghanistan. Warner's early-innings nerves are now a distant memory. He looks set to post a big score here having amassed his first World Cup century. He is being ably assisted by Smith, who is just starting to open up a bit himself.

Afghanistan try to make something happen in their favour by bringing Hassan back into the attack, but his first ball is pulled to mid-on for four by Warner, who also pulls the last ball for another boundary through mid-wicket. Back to the drawing board.

"A great innings from David Warner, his first hundred in World Cup cricket and hopefully there are going to be two or three more in the rest of this tournament."

If you were watching England v Sri Lanka, Australia are managing effortlessly to do something that England conspicuously failed during the middle overs of their innings - turning the strike over with regular singles.

It's one such single that takes Warner to his fourth ODI century - it's been an excellent, controlled knock from the opener after a frenetic beginning, and who would back against him adding many, many more to his score from this position?

With that, it's time to leave you in the very capable hands of Phil Dawkes to take you through the rest of this innings.

Warner moves within three runs of a century, cutting Ahmadi for two and then driving him for one. Afghan skipper Mohammed Nabi really needs to grab this game by the scruff of the neck - it's drifting away from his side at the moment.

Almost done and dusted in Napier and just the simple equation of 30-an-over required for the UAE.

The game has been going through the motions since about the fifth over of this UAE reply after Pakistan made 339-6 earlier.

It's all far too easy for Australia at the moment. Shapoor coughs up four singles from his first five balls of his latest over, before Steve Smith collects his first boundary - walking across his timbers and glancing the bowler down to fine leg.
