  2. It's back to pace for Scotland after that failed spin experiment as Safyaan Sharif comes into the attack.

  3. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    That has gone a long way!

  4. 6 runs

    Afg 20-0

    Even bigger! This is just a swipe from Zazai.

    Welcome to the Super 12s, Michael Leask...

  5. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a great shot from Shahzad. He leaned on the length and got his hands through the ball.

  6. 6 runs

    Afg 13-0

    Wow!

    The burly/well-built/stocky Mohammad Shahzad heaves his first ball for a massive six.

  7. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was hit firmly, and umpire Kumar Dharmasena had to take evasive action.

  8. Afg 7-0

    Spinner Michael Leask has the task of defending that short boundary now but Zazai clobbers him back down the ground for the game's first four - almost wiping the umpire out in the process.

  9. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    There is a very short boundary at Sharjah. There's not a lot of room for error if you're bowling.

  10. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    You can already see the lack of pace. The delivery that went down the leg side didn't carry through to the keeper.

  11. Afg 2-0

    This is the same pitch Sri Lanka chased 172 to beat Bangladesh on yesterday. It may be a struggle by the end.

    Two from the over, one which was a wide. Quiet start under the lights in Sharjah.

  12. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    Scotland's jersey is spectacular.

  13. Afg 0-0

    Hampshire's Brad Wheal opens proceedings for Scotland. It's an accurate start.

  14. Afg 0-0

    There aren't many fans in the ground but the majority who are look to be supporting Afghanistan.

    The Afghanistan openers will be Hazratullah Zazai and Mohammad Shahzad.

  15. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Afghanistan are a strong, well-balanced side but what I like about this Scotland team is you can identify them. With all the good teams in the world, you can name them from one to 11 and know what their roles are. I know that with this Scotland side.

  16. Teams

    Afghanistan: Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Asghar Afghan, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi (capt), Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Karim Janat, Naveen-Ul-Haq, Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

    Scotland: George Munsey, Kyle Coetzer (capt), Matthew Cross (wk), Richie Berrington, Calum MacLeod, Michael Leask, Chris Greaves, Mark Watt, Josh Davey, Safyaan Sharif, Brad Wheal.

  17. It's anthem time.

    Flower of Scotland = Tune.

  18. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It is huge for cricket in Scotland and huge for the country. They now take the hopes and dreams of the nation because this is what dreams are made of - playing matches against these teams.

  19. Scotland captain Kyle Coetzer: "That is what we would have done with the toss anyway. With conditions and how the IPL games went, chasing was successful.

    "The boys have enjoyed themselves and had chance to take in what they have achieved. We still have a point to prove but are privileged to be in this position."

  20. Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi: "The wicket is dry and good for batting. We will try to put a score on the board."
