    That was too full from Greaves. You want to give the ball time to do something and Zazai could just get down on one knee and swat it over mid-wicket.

    Hazratullah Zazai has done it again. He leans onto the front foot to the spin of Greaves and swats another big un into empty stands.

    Brutal.

    That's a terrific first over from Mark Watt.

  4. Afg 57-1published at 7 overs

    Lovely stuff from left-arm spinner Mark Watt who calms things down with an over that costs only two. Andy Flower, a consultant with Afghanistan for this tournament, watching on from the bench.

    Sadly there'll be no more of this from Mohammad Shahzad today. A brilliant hit.

  7. Afg 55-1published at 6 overs

    Zazai 30, Gurbaz 0

    Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who has a decent T20 average of 34, is Afghanistan's number three.

    That's the powerplay done.

    Clever bowling from Sharif. He followed Shahzad, who got underneath the ball, and it was a good catch. It's the breakthrough that Scotland wanted - they need to keep attacking and taking wickets.

    Shahzad c Greaves b Sharif 22 (Afg 54-1)

    A bit of relief for Scotland. Mohammad Shajzad sends another into orbit but this time doesn't get the distance. Chris Greaves steadies himself as the ball drops out of the night's sky and takes the catch.

    More runs for Shahzad. I hope he doesn't let go of his bat as he swings. It might end up causing damage in the stands.

    Scotland are under serious pressure. They have to regroup. They've had the powerplay their own way in their previous matches and this is the first time they've been under pressure. They need to try and slow things down.

  12. Afg 46-0published at 5 overs

    Zazai 29, Shahzad 15

    Oh here's some more pain for Scotland. These two are whacking the ball to all parts.

    Shahzad steps across and wallops the ball for one-bounce four. Anything full is getting munched.

    Watch out in the stands...

    Wow!

  15. 6 runs

    Afg 40-0published at 4.2 overs

    Hazratullah Zazai can hit the ball a loooong way! Brad Wheal goes full and with a flick of the wrists the ball is sent flying towards the motorway.

    The TV graphic tells us that has gone 101m!

    Thats the first bit of width we've seen from the Scotland bowlers and Zazai just threw his hands at it.

    Josh Davey has been mighty impressive in this tournament so far. He has taken eight wickets and is really excelling.

  18. Afg 30-0published at 4 overs

    Zazai 18, Shahzad 10

    Scotland's player of round one, Aberdeen-born seamer Josh Davey, is on now.

    He starts well before Zazai goes after a wider ball - collecting a four over the off side. There's a fella covered in black, green and red body paint in the stands who enjoyed that. There's no doubt who he is supporting.

  20. Afg 22-0published at 3 overs

    Zazai 12, Shahzad 8

    These two Afghanistan openers are in decent form. They both hit fifties in a big win over West Indies in a warm-up game.

    Shahzad looks far less comfortable against pace than spin. He's trying his best to get the ball over to that short boundary but some ugly hoiks only get him one.
