    Just turn the lights off, make them all sit in the dark in the dressing room, that will sort it out.

  2. Marnus Labuschagne is unhappy again.

    There's movement behind the bowlers arm from the changing rooms apparently.

    A member of the Afghanistan backroom staff has just jokingly done a dance. Love to see it.

  3. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    With Afghanistan getting a couple of quick wickets, it's all getting a little bit fiery out there.

  4. Aus 43-2

    Target 292

    A good testing over from Azmatullah Omarzai.

    David Warner is attempting to bat out of his crease to negate the swing on offer but with the ball zipping around under the Mumbai lights it is tricky stuff and he gets cut in half again by Azmat.

  5. Australia will remain third no matter what the result here. They'll still be in a strong position to reach the semi-finals with Bangladesh to come in their final game on Saturday.

    If Afghanistan win they'll go fourth with 10 points. They've got South Africa on Friday, knowing another victory would see them through.

    If they win one we could have a three-way battle between them, New Zealand and Pakistan for the fourth and final spot. Potentially Australia too if they lose both games.

    The final five days of the group stage could be very exciting.

  6. Australia's win only chasing in this World Cup was by five wickets against Sri Lanka.

    Their line-up doesn't necessarily have much recent experience of fighting to a win with the bat.

    This could get very nervy as they attempt to seal a semi-final spot.

  7. Aus 43-2

    Target 292

    Appeals first up for lbw against Marnus Labuschagne but there's a healthy inside edge onto the pads.

    There's an extremely loud "NO RUNNNN" call to end the over too.

    Labuschagne is unhappy about something in his eyeline too and has speaks to umpire Michael Gough at the end of the over.

  8. That has changed things a bit.

  9. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Something has been said, Mitchell Marsh is pointing the bat at the Afghanistan fielders. He's pointed the bat at whoever has said something. You don't see that often from Mitchell Marsh.

    WICKET

    Marsh lbw b Naveen 24 (Aus 43-2)

    What do I know!?! Gone next ball!

    Has the angle done for Mitchell Marsh here? Naveen-ul-Haq is going very wide on the crease and spears this into the pads of Marsh.

    He walks towards David Warner but opts to walk straight past him and not even discuss a review.

    Afghanistan have got two early wickets. Are they now on top?

  11. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    This is very hard for Naveen because he's not quick enough to pitch it up short and that swing already seems to have died down.

  12. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    The most Mitchell Marsh shot of them all is the lofted drive, he's been doing it all throughout this World Cup.

  13. 6 runs

    Aus 43-1

    The double pace to Mitchell Marsh is an interesting tactic. He strikes at 104.41 against pace in the powerplay, compared to 58.53 against spin.

    Marsh smacks Naveen-ul-Haq back over his head, before a crunching pull brings him six more.

    Marsh is 24 off 10 balls. He's ticking.

  14. Fair to say this game is evenly poised.

  15. Aus 33-1

    Target 292

    I've just seen a replay of that six and Mitchell Marsh hung his head back and started to walk back to the changing room when the ball went up in the air. He can't believe it carried all the way for six.

    He'd hit the previous ball for four too, so this is a good over for Australia, with 14 coming off it.

    There were words between Marsh and Azmatullah Omarzai in that over too. This World Cup is getting increasingly spicy.

  16. 6 runs

    Aus 29-1

    Target 292

    My days. Mitchell Marsh, you lucky boy.

    He tries a big heave into the leg side but is too early on the shot.

    He gets a massive leading edge and it clears third and goes for six!

    Remarkable really.

  17. Afghanistan are ditching the spin for now. Azmatullah Omarzai replaces Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

  18. David Warner and Rashid Khan are having words now.

    What's that all about?

    It doesn't look friendly. It's quite a long chat too.

  19. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's a beautiful piece of bowling and it cuts David Warner in half.

  20. Aus 19-1

    Target 292

    Yeesh. That is a beauty from Naveen-ul-Haq.

    He squares David Warner up and the left-hander has a little prod but the movement takes it past the outside edge.

    Warner didn't have a clue how to play that. Beaten all ends up.
