Afg 120-6published at 17 overs
Pat Cummins bangs one in short and Rashid Khan hangs the bat in the air to guide the ball to depe midwicket for a single.
The next ball is clubbed away by Darwish Rasooli through the covers for four - Afghanistan pass the magic 119 mark!
It means net run-rate has been taken out of the equation. England will qualify with a win tomorrow. Sri Lanka are out.

What an incredible spell of cricket.
The Australia players were looking concerned a few overs ago but they are buzzing now.
In contrast, we have just seen a shot of the Afghanistan bench and they look stunned.

Nabi c Warner b Hazlewood 1 (Afg 103-6)
Extraordinary.
Mohammad Nabi has just heaved a ball from Josh Hazlewood straight to David Warner at deep square leg.
Such a soft dismissal from an experienced player.
Afghanistan are disintegrating before our eyes.
