    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That's just gone straight through Noor Ahmed. It's just a prod, he hasn't even got a paw onto that.

  2. Aus 19-1

    No, no, no.

    Another misfield, this time from Noor Ahmad, allows David Warner to pick up two more.

    Afghanistan have to tighten up.

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

    That's two misfields now, Gurbaz has got to be stopping those.

  4. Aus 16-1

    Target 292

    I've got a feeling there's going to be numerous ebbs and flows in this chase. I can't see Australia doing it easily and I don't see Afghanistan skittling them.

    David Warner picks up another boundary with another drive to the cover fence, capitalising on a poor piece of fielding to bring him back on strike.

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

    That's a great shot because Warner's balance is excellent. He's got his balance perfect there.

  6. Aus 9-1

    Target 292

    A small pressure reliever as David Warner leans on a drive and picks up four through the covers.

    He just waited for it and didn't hit it too hard. Lovely batting.

  7. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Warner looks down at the pitch and looks at Mitchell Marsh. He knows he is in a battle here.

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

    I think it might have carried low down, it is a tough one.

  9. dropped catch

    Warner dropped on four

    Aus 5-1

    It's all happening!

    David Warner tries to work into the leg side but gets a really thick leading edge towards Rahmat Shah in the gully.

    It's a tough chance because it is really low to the ground but it has carried and Rahmat did get his fingers under the ball but he can't hold on.

    Will that prove costly?

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

    Mitchell Marsh has walked out with a presence, strong body language. He's a huge chap. It's very Australia to go for it.

  11. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's what Afghanistan were looking for. It's the perfect delivery! Head is gone.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Head c Alikhil b Naveen 0 (Aus 4-1)

    Got 'im! A second-ball duck for Travis Head.

    There's a little bit of movement for Naveen-ul-Haq, who is round the wicket at Head.

    The Australia opener plays away from his body, and doesn't move his feet, and gets a thick edge through to Ikram Alikhil.

    This just got VERY interesting.

  13. It will be the right-arm pace of Naveen-ul-Haq at the other end.

  14. Aus 4-0

    Target 292

    Appeal for lbw off the second ball as Mujeeb Ur Rahman hurries David Warner but the ball was sliding past leg stump and Afghanistan don't entertain the review.

    Warner is deliberately walking away to the leg side between every ball. He wants this chase to be played at Australia's pace, not Afghanistan's.

    Ikram Alikhil is making an absolute racket behind the stumps for Afghanistan. There's already shouts of "bowling, bowlinggg, lovelyyy".

  15. Aus 4-0

    There we go.

    Width from Mujeeb Ur Rahman to start and David Warner smacks it to the cover boundary.

    Don't bowl there.

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

    Head and Warner are the best combo in terms of excitement, they just go for it.

  17. Unsurprisingly Afghanistan are going to start with the off-spin of Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

    Travis Head and David Warner are out in the middle. I suspect they'll go hard from the start.

  18. Thanks Sam.

    This is going to be an absolute cracker, I reckon.

    Australia need 292 to win - it would be their record chase in World Cups and a record ODI chase on this ground.

    Do it and they are in the semi-finals. Lose and they are in a right battle.

  19. Ibrahim Zadran was the real star of the show, though.

    His 129 from 143 balls means Australia need a record chase to win and book their place in the semi-finals.

    To take you through the portion of that chase, it's over to Callum Matthews.

  20. If Afghanistan do go on to win, Australia may point to this as a key moment.

    Rashid Khan initially appeared to be caught in the deep off Mitchell Starc but the third umpire took a look and decided Marcus Stoinis had grassed the catch...
