Theo Bowyer: Scotland completely in control have now located the self district button... Afghanistan slight favourites now  

Spinner Shenwari, whose dark, brooding moustache gives him the air of a Bond villain, is quickly through his over - while Scotland's running is all over the place. New batsman Richie Berrington is back for a second run, but a more accurate throw might have had him in trouble. Hundred up for the Scots, who need 70 from 54 balls.

Sussex's Matt Machan replaces fellow left-hander Munsey. He's off the mark with a single, right-hander MacLeod fails to read a googly and both bowler and wicketkeeper yell in frustration. But there's more frustration for that particular pair as Rashid spins one down the leg side, Shahzad misses it and the ball disappears for five wides.

Scotland need 77 from 60 balls at the halfway mark. We reckon they ought to do it from here, but cricket's a funny game...

Calum MacLeod is in at first drop for the Scots. Munsey is still there on 41 from 28 balls.

New bowler, same action as the moustachioied Samiullah Shenwari replaces fellow leg-spinner Rashid Khan. Munsey survives another shout for lbw, this looked closer than the last one but Scotland are cooking with gas here. Shenwari strays with a full toss which Coetzer whacks for four past the diving Hamza at short third man.

Nabi to continue, Scotland are picking up plenty of twos on this ground - and only some acrobatic fielding by Shafiqullah running back towards wide long-on denies Coetzer another boundary. A gentle, Jayawardene-esque dab for two to third man from Coetzer takes him to 34 from 24 balls.

The required rate is a shade under eight an over and at the moment, they're getting that. Has there ever been a better chance for Scotland to win a World T20 game?

With the powerplay finished, it's time for some leg-spin from Rashid Khan, who runs in to bowl at a fair speed - rather in the mould of Shahid Afridi or Imran Tahir. Munsey survives an lbw appeal where the ball pitched outside leg - good decision, Mr Erasmus - but then he connects with a reverse sweep and the ball scoots away, very fine, for four. There are two men posted to cut off the reverse sweep - but Munsey beats them both with another four, his ninth. He has 38 from 23 balls, while Coetzer has 27 from 20.

Afghanistan turn to the off-spin of Mohammad Nabi, but the boundaries keep flowing as a low full toss finds Coetzer's outside edge and it flies away for four. Seven off the over, and it seems that even when the ball's in the air, it's not falling close enough to fielders.

(Munsey 30, Coetzer 19)

Munsey, who's on Northants' books, continues his assault as he steers Gulbadin for two more fours either side of the wicket, while a no-ball earns him a free hit (it appears we will hear the sound of a loud hooter over the PA for any such transgressions in this tournament). Gulbadin redeems himself slightly as he finds a yorker for the free hit, but another flicked four over backward square leg brings up the fifty stand. At the moment, Scotland are bossing this one.

The medium-fast Gulbadin Naib is Afghanistan's first-change bowler, he missed out with the bat today, but his side need to put the brakes on here. Coetzer moves to 18, matching Munsey, as he walks down the track and forces a four backward of square leg - while fortune favours the man from Aberdeen as a top edge flies to third man - but crucially short of the fielder.

Now Munsey joins in the fun, steering Dawlat for three fours in the space of four deliveries, driving the first two with a straight bat from a very upright stance before a baseball-style blast past the diving mid-off. Dawlat pulls a face as a team-mate consoles him.

That's more like it from Kyle Coetzer, advancing a step or two to smack the left-arm spinner Hamza over extra cover for four. But then he gets lucky when he swings and misses, and the ball comes within a whisker of hitting off stump. Coetzer, reprieved, goes for another big hit over extra cover and this time it's all the way for six.

A pale-faced fan in a Scotland shirt seems to have made a few friends in Nagpur - as there's a group of Indian fans around him, joyously celebrating that six as much as he is.

Right-arm seamer Dawlat Zadran, one of Afghanistan's bowling heroes from their win over Scotland in last year's World Cup, finds a hint of movement away from Coetzer with his first ball, there's not been much in it for the seamers today but he can be a tricky customer. Coetzer adds a single, and Munsey treats the Scots fans to their first boundary of the afternoon with a cover-driven four. Always looks good from a left-hander, that shot. And Dawlat needs to watch his line as he sends a couple of wides past the left-hander's legs.

Left-hander Munsey takes strike, attempting a reverse sweep but it's easily fielded by a predatory ring of three off-side fielders. After four dot balls, Munsey is keep to rotate the strike and takes a risky single to short fine leg - he's home safely as Hamza broke the stumps before he'd gathered the ball cleanly. That brings right-hander Coetzer on strike, he drills a single to long-on.

Like Scotland, Afghanistan are going to open the bowling with left-arm spin - Amir Hamza, also known as Hamza Hotak, who has a slip in. George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer to open for Scotland - let's play.
