  1. Afg 100-2published at 23 overs

    Some speedy running and good awareness of where Morgan has his fielders allows Rahmat Shah to tap a couple through deep mid-wicket.

    That'll be the 100 up.

    Nic Zamorski: I want to comment on Stokes but I’m concerned that I may turn into the 15.58 version of the 12.51...

    Please can you get Richard to send a message about England being too lazy to take wickets? Thanks.

    The required rate is currently 10.68.

    Afghanistan are merrily pootling along at just a bit above four an over. They'll, er, have to go some.

    Nice from Rahmat Shah, getting down low and tickling Moeen through short fine leg for four.

    Ooft. Moeen's response is to get one to turn and slide just past the outside edge of Rahmat's bat.

    Adam: Afghanistan's attempt at having a crack at this run chase will commence at some point right?

    Rahmat 35, Hashmatullah 12

    I won't lie to you, this isn't the most thrilling period of cricket we've seen today.

    It's a bog-standard field. They could afford to be a bit more aggressive and deep point could come into a catching position.

  9. Afg 83-2published at 19 overs

    Oh, an edge from Rahmat Shah, but it's gone for four!

    Rahmat was pressing forward, trying to drive Moeen away, and a thick outside edge went through the vacant slip region and down to the boundary.

    I wonder what Richard is thinking about Afghanistan's start?

    Target 398

    Hashmatullah Shahidi drives tidily to pick up a couple of runs, but that's all Afghanistan work from this opening Stokes over.

    Drinks over and done with, and Ben Stokes is going to have a bowl.

    The most sixes hit in a World Cup match is 31 in New Zealand v West Indies at Wellington in the 2015 quarter-final. This match has 27 so far.

    I thought Afghanistan may have surprised a team or two but so far they have been pretty much hammered in every game. Bangladesh are the only team who could upset the top four, if they have a day out like they did yesterday they could certainly give Australia a run for their money.

    Shot!

    Here comes Rahmat Shah. He skips out of his crease, gives himself some space and hoicks Moeen Ali straight back down the ground for six.

    When you play for England you get given your Test cap by a Test legend. I was in Chennai and it is generally someone from the Sky commentary box. Athers would be cerebral and talk about EW Swanton, Nasser Hussain would say 'don't mess it up'.

    Beefy walks over and said to me 'I've seen the wicket, if you don't get a five-for you're rubbish', threw me the cap and walked off.

    They've been in short supply today.

    Whoops. Rahmat Shah comes advancing down the pitch for a single that was never there, and he's lucky that Jos Buttler's throw is to the wrong end. The ball is dabbed into the covers and Buttler, racing around to get the ball, throws it to the non striker's end instead.
