Nabi replaces Naib - forgive me, I'm moderately thankful those two didn't bat together - as former captain Mohammad Nabi replaces Gulbadin Naib, and joins current skip Asghar Stanikzai at the crease. Seamer Safyaan Sharif to bowl. Nabi is off the mark, Stanikzai helps himself to a two and Sharif foxes him with a full delivery but is then penalised with a wide. Three overs to come, can Afghanistan surpass Zimbabwe's 158 from earlier today?

Watt is going to bowl through here, Afghanistan are scampering for every run they can muster while Watt half-heartedly appeals for lbw as a leg bye is signalled by umpire Richard Illingworth. Must have been close... in fact the ball-tracker suggests it was cannoning into leg stump. No DRS in this T20 tournament though.

Matt Machan on for more off-spin, with Gulbadin Naib the new batsman - another right-hander. Just three singles from the first five balls before Gulbadin firmly sweeps him for four.

Watch Mohammad Shahzad play an outrageous flick over fine leg for four, from a ball well outside off stump.

Young Watt back for his third over, the teenager's trying his best here but Afghanistan are picking everything off here - Shahzad, who can belt the ball miles, shows both sides of his game as he expertly reverse-dabs a four past the keeper, before bludgeoning another boundary wide of mid-on with a big heave across the line, with plenty of bottom hand.

Afg 96-1 (Shahzad 52, Stanikzai 27)

Stanikzai rides his luck a little as he skies Evans over short third man, the ball goes between three fielders and it's left to Richie Berrington running in - he dives forward and gets a hand to it, but can't hold on.

Shahzad then unleashes his version of India captain MS Dhoni's "helicopter" shot, but again the ball falls safely away from a Scots fielder. They need a wicket soon if they're not going to be chasing an almighty target.

And that's fifty for Shahzad, from only 32 balls. He's hit three sixes - two of which you can view below on the website - and three fours.

How to make a bowler angry? Hit him for six, twice, in successive deliveries.

Berrington has had a change of ends, but the irrepressible Shahzad steps well across to the off side and flicks a ball - which might have been a borderline off-side wide if he'd stayed still - over fine leg for four! How on earth does he play that shot?

50 partnership - Afg 79-1published at 10 overs

Sharif returns, Shahzad is tucked up for room by a yorker but still has the skill to nudge it away for a single to bring up the fifty partnership. Then there's an interesting call from umpire Marais Erasmus - Stanikzai steps across as though he's aiming a Dilscoop over the keeper's head, Sharif fires it in outside off stump and Gould declines to call a wide - motioning to Stanikzai that because he moved, it wasn't a wide, even though it was outside the tramlines.

A four over the bowler's head means we have reached the halfway point in Afghanistan's innings.

Machan's over of off-spin has cost 15 runs - notably those two big blows from Shahzad, who looks in prime form.

Matt Machan is another Scotland batsman who bowls - but he's given some immediate punishment as Shahzad hits him for two straight sixes in successive balls!

Another big six, this time Shahzad foes down on one knee and wallops Berrington over cow corner for a huge six, measured at 98m.

But the opener has made his ground. Play on...

Medium-fast seamer Richie Berrington is Scotland's fifth bowler, he's also very much a front-line batsman so helps the balance of the side. Shahzad adds a two to take his side to 50. Mommsen then hits the stumps with a direct hit as Shahzad goes for a quick single...
