  1. Afg 17-0

    Rahmat 12, Gulbadin 5

    Mohammad Amir chucks down a bouncer and that shows that this pitch is slow, just sticks a bit and Rahmat is on to it in a flash, hooking safely away for a one-bounce four.

    Pakistan have taken out the second slip because there's no movement through the air or off the pitch.

  3. Afg 13-0

    Judge Dredd is in. Shot!

    Rahmat just leans on a rapid ball from Amir and that is a classy cover drive for four. Back-to-back boundaries.

  4. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    That shot will give Afghanistan confidence. He didn't hit it too hard, he just leant into it and it raced away.

    Andy Zaltzman isn’t here today but his stats sheets are a thing of beauty. Hard at work even on his day off.

  7. Afg 9-0

    A maiden to back up Amir's maiden? Nope, Afghan captain Gulbadin pierces the field with a beauty of a drive for four off the last ball.

  8. Afg 5-0

    Rahmat 4, Gulbadin 1

    Imad continues this left-arm spin opening experiment. Dot dot dot.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Imad Wasim didn't look a threat in the first over so I'm a bit surprised he's continuing.

  10. Album cover? What's the band?

    'Going all the way?'

    'The Cornered Tigers?'

  11. Afg 5-0

    Very sharp opener from Amir. Bang on the money first up. A maiden.

  12. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    Pakistan have added a second slip now - they want to get Rahmat Shah coming forward on the front foot.

    Ilyas Najib: As nice as Afghanistan’s journey in international cricket has been. This World Cup has exposed them and shown their vulnerabilities. I expect another day of struggle for the men in blue.

  14. Afg 5-0

    Amir's first ball is a rapid, swinging Yorker/half volley which Rahmat does well to dig out. Roared in by the crowd. Two slips in.

    This has been a transformation from Mohammad Amir. There was some doubt about whether he'd even make the team before the tournament.

  16. Mohammad Amir is on now! Yes.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    After one over, I already think Pakistan might have missed a trick here. They've allowed both openers to get off the mark easily.

  18. Afg 5-0

    That was like skipping straight to the 25th over of the match as Afghanistan just pick up a few singles. What was the point of that?

    Ilyas Najib: The 1992 comparisons stop today as Afghanistan & Bangladesh didn’t play in that tournament. It’s time for Pakistan to create new history and for new heroes to be born.

  20. Afg 1-0

    Pakistan's fast bowlers were sublime against New Zealand as well. Interesting.
