    I felt a lot would have to go right for Australia to chase this down. A lot of history would have had to be made for Australia to chase this down and it has been the perfect start from Afghanistan.

    Target 292

    Afghanistan have already beat England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands in this World Cup.

    They are six wickets away from beating Australia.

    It would be the first time they have beat Australia at the fourth time of asking.

    What has been strange is Australia's footwork. Inglis got caught on the crease, Marsh got stuck there too.

    In the end, it's a strange review. I think they hoped it was hitting the pad.

    Deary me. That's a terrible review really.

    It definitely isn't lbw because there's a genuine outside edge! A really healthy one, but quite bizarrely it drops well short of the keeper.

    LBW, caught behind, Afghanistan are going for it all. If he hasn't nicked it, that is plumb in front.

    You have to have a look if you are a fielding captain.

  9. Afghanistan reviewpublished at 8.3 overs

    Huge appeal for lbw.

    The skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi sends it upstairs and then has a little smile and laugh.

    This is theatre of the highest quality.

    Right, Glenn Maxwell is the new batter.

    Azmatullah Omarzai is on a hat-trick.

    It's not really Maxwell's style to block so he may try and whack this for six to be honest.

    Australia are bang in trouble here. This is a bat first wicket. It's just been extraordinary. Afghanistan set up their innings to go big in the final 10. The last 18 overs of this game have been all Afghanistan.

    Azmatullah is lighting up Mumbai! Josh Inglis goes first ball. Afghanistan have not even got their spinners yet.

    Inglis c Zadran b Azmat 0 (Aus 49-4)

    GONE! TWO IN TWO!

    More movement from Azmatullah Omarzai and Josh Inglis is guilty of playing away from his body.

    It is a big nick and it flies to Ibrahim Zadran at slip, but the centurion takes a good catch.

    Wow, wow, wow. Afghanistan are all over Australia.

    It's a wonderful delivery, it's a horrible shot from Warner and it deserves a wicket with a shot like that. Labuschagne has not been happy out there but Afghanistan have just been going about their business.

    Afghanistan are in this up to their necks. Australia have lost their top three and they are 49-3.

    Warner b Azmat 18 (Afg 49-3)

    HELLO!

    After playing out a maiden in the previous over from his end, David Warner decides he needs to go on the attack.

    He effectively tries a big slog sweep but ends up missing the ball by a mile. It crashes into the stumps and Warner is on his way.

    There's no doubting that Afghanistan are on top now.

    I think Australia look like a better unit without both of Smith and Labuschagne. At this stage, I don't think it really matters which one plays.

    Over-pitched and Labuschagne just plays that through the line. Nice and simple.

    Target 292

    Lovely from Marnus Labuschagne.

    He just leans on an off-drive and picks up his first boundary.

    This partnership could be key. Australia have batting to come but Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Stoinis all like to hit the ball, rather than building an innings.
