  1. Aus 66-0

    It is all looking a bit too easy for Australia at the moment.

    Eight come off Gulbadin Naib's second over.

  2. 6 runs

    Aus 65-0

    Aaron Finch has absolutely hammered this.

    It's not even that short, but it is wide which allows Finch to open his arms and flay it over mid-wicket for six.

  3. Rashid Khan has got a fair bit of pressure and expectation on his shoulders when he does come on to bowl.

    Rex: Afghanistan may want to put Rashid on before this game is finished...

  5. Aus 58-0

    Watchful from Aaron Finch and David Warner as a single and a dab to third man for a couple come from Nabi's first over.

  6. Another change for Afghanistan.

    Mohammad Nabi replaces Dawlat Zadran.

  7. This is the closest Afghanistan have come to a breakthrough so far.

    I think David Warner is in responsible mode. It's his first big game back and what he wants to do is deliver Australia a relatively stress-free victory.

  9. Aus 55-0

    Australia need another 153 runs to win

    A decent first over from the skipper.

    A David Warner single is the only addition to the scoreboard.

  10. Hamid Hassan is out of the attack, but it's not going to be Rashid Khan.

    Gulbadin Naib brings himself on.

  11. Get Involved

    Hameed Qayoomi: Brilliant bowling display by Hamid Hassan, AKA Rambo, so far! The crowd is desperate for a wicket though. It has all gone a bit quiet here.

  12. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on Test Match Special

    You've got to get Rashid Khan on, see if he can magic a couple of wickets somehow.

  13. Aus 54-0

    Ooh that's a chance for Afghanistan.

    It's uppish from Aaron Finch but it evades the cover fielder and once its through the in-field it races to the boundary.

    10 from the over.

  14. 6 runs

    Aus 50-0

    Aaron Finch wants this done with!

    Dawlat Zadran drops short and Finch just pulls him about 15 rows back on the leg side.

  15. The TV are just running in a package of David Warner's calling so far.

    One word for it: LOUD!

  16. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Afghanistan have bowled very well at David Warner. He doesn't know whether to stick or twist at the moment. The length has been immaculate.

  17. Aus 44-0

    A maiden for Hamid Hassan.

    David Warner is up to 16 off 28 balls so far - he seems happy to just be spending some time in the middle.

    It is going to be a long few months in England for him and Australia, so getting used to conditions is key.

  18. You don't want to give David Warner free hits.

  19. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    I just wonder how long it will be before we see Rashid Khan come into the attack.

  20. Aus 44-0

    Dawlat Zadran has recovered well from that no-ball and free hit four off his first ball but he's not causing Australia any problems.

    Aaron Finch and David Warner just keep the scoreboard ticking along with four more runs.
