Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialBrad Wheal looks like he's had 10 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. He looks shell-shocked.

Mark Watt has been playing a different game to his team-mates. He begins his final over having taken 1-10 from three.

BBC Test Match SpecialIf Scotland don't get one of these two out in the next over, this could be a very dangerous total.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz can hit a long ball...
Afg 151-2published at 16.5 overs
My word, some of this hitting is brutal. Brad Wheal doesn't do a lot wrong but he's sent back over mid-on again. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Afghanistan's right-handed number three, is making name for himself.

I like the Archie Gemmill analogy but this opposition are not like the Dutch side of the time!

Not out - Afg 144-2published at 16.3 overs
The full-length dive has seen Gurbaz home.
For the second time in the innings, however, this pair have been called for 'one short' for not grounding their bat over the line when running a two. Could it be costly?

We're checking a run-out but I'm pretty sure he's fine...

Well now you've made it, Katherine. I don't have high standards really.
Sharif comes back well after that monstrous six. Four to go.

To Anonymous at 16:03... To my chagrin, I too lack the jovial bonhomie required to get a mention (despite years of optimistic messaging). But I listen in every time to enjoy the TMS hug. Go well!

Good luck with that...
Najibullah Zadran has pumped another one out of the ground! That's gone 100m. The second huge six of the day.

It's going to take something momentous from Scotland to turn this around. Something Archie Gemmell-esque required lads!

Five overs to go. What can Afghanistan get to? 175? That might be a lot for Scotland against Rashid Khan and co.
