  1. Afghanistan were then reduced 77-5 after this calamitous run out.

  2. But Rahmat Shah led the recovery for Afghanistan with some impressive hitting.

  3. So if you are just joining us. Here are some of the highlights so far.

    Australia started well with two early wickets:

    Adam Zampa got a bit of a tap but he also took wickets which is important.

  5. Australia's Adam Zampa: "It's been an interesting day. Sometimes you have those days as a leg-spinner where you take wickets but go for runs too. Credit to Afghanistan, they played some fearless cricket. It's going to be a challenge for us with the bat: it's going to skid on for their spinners."

    Well done Afghanistan!

    I think they are going to definitely be my team of the World Cup.

  7. So Australia require 208 to win. You would think that is straight-forward but Afghanistan have at least given themselves something to bowl at.

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

    It's been a spirited rally - which we didn't see from Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    I still don't think it's going to be anywhere near enough.

  9. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    Afghanistan will feel like they've got at least something to defend.

    Australia will think they've still got some things to work on based on that innings.

  10. wicket

    Afghanistan all out for 207

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman b Cummins 13 (Afg 207)

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman look to give himself room to hit in the onside but Pat Cummins is dead straight and completely cleans out his stumps.

    Afghanistan are all out for 207

  11. Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    I think a fair few of us would have liked that to go on a bit longer.

  12. Adam Williams
    BBC Sport at Bristol

    That leg before against Rashid Khan looked to be going miles down leg side in real time.

    Another entertaining lower-order cameo cut off in its prime just to dampen down the spirits in the crowd again.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Rashid Khan lbw b Zampa 27 (Afg 205-9)

    He is indeed, Rashid Khan went to sweep a straight one and the umpires decision is backed up by the TV replays.

    A short but thoroughly entertaining innings comes to an end.

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

    I think he's struggling here.

  15. Umpire review

    Australia think they have trapped Rashid Khan lbw here. Khan quickly reviews.

  16. 6 runs

    Afg 205-8

    It's going the other way at the moment! Rashid Khan steps down the track and smacks Adam Zampa for six!

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

    This is going to go one of two ways.

    I'm predicting wickets.

  18. Afg 198-8

    A fierce Pat Cummins delivery hits Mujeeb Ur Rahman on the gloves, that might hurt.

    Cummins clearly isn't happy at being given the treatment by these Afghanistan batsman.

  19. Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    The partnership is 32 off 11 balls.

  20. 6 runs

    Afg 198-8

    Here we go again!

    Mujeeb Ur Rahman steps down the pitch and pulls Pat Cummins into the onside for four.

    Two deliveries later he tries to play a similar shot and ends a top edge over third man for six!
