    I cannot believe that is given not out!

    Afg 261-5

    Marcus Stoinis has his hands on his head.

    He did indicate to the umpires that it was worth checking and so it proves, he did brilliant to get there, running in from the boundary and diving forward.

    But the ball bounces from right hand to left as he landed... via the ground. Rashid Khan survives.

    If this is given not out, Stoinis will be filthy.

    Maybe not. The latest angle suggests the Australia fielder might have grassed this.

    We've got an umpire review for a catch but it looks like Rashid Khan has been caught in the deep by Marcus Stoinis.

    A beautiful, dreamy shot. This is why you can't bowl fast bowlers at the end of innings.

    We said 280 would be competitive. They should get that and more...

    Just like that!

    Brilliant pick up from Ibrahim Zadran, just a flick of the wrists to put Mitchell Starc into the stand over deep backward square!

    It's Rashid Khan who has done the damage in that last over but Ibrahim Zadran, with more than 100 to his name, can clear the ropes as well...

    Outrageous shot. Maxwell sees it coming! From the very toe of his bat, Rashid Khan gets it. Rashid is entertaining.

  11. Afg 252-5published at 47 overs

    Rashid Khan keeps coming and clubs Glenn Maxwell over the off side for four.

    Just what Afghanistan need. To make matters worse for the Australia all-rounder, he is called for a no-ball and has to bowl another one.

    He's thankful that Rashid doesn't get hold of the free hit. Just a single but it's 16 from the over.

    That is what Rashid can do! Just made it. He hit that spinner without a helmet on.

    Rashid Khan is batting without a helmet - or any headwear - as Glenn Maxwell comes on... and he smashes the ball just over the fielder at deep mid-wicket for six!

    Superb start to the over for Afghanistan.

    A lot rides on Rashid. Can he get 30?

    A wonderful moment for Ibrahim Zadran and Afghanistan.

    The first Afghanistan player to score a World Cup hundred...

  16. Afg 236-5published at 46 overs

    Three singles end the Josh Hazlewood over, nine from it in total but the dangerous Mohammad Nabi is gone.

    Four overs for Afghanistan to get themselves up to a competitive total.

    Simple as that for Hazlewood. Nabi is gone.

    Nabi b Hazlewood 12 (Afg 233-5)

    The fun is over for Mohammad Nabi.

    Full and straight from Josh Hazlewood, it's in Nabi's arc but he's just missed it.

    The ball clatters into the stumps and Rashid Khan is in at seven for Afghanistan.

    We would expect Nabi to have a bit of fun here.

  20. 6 runs

    Afg 233-4published at 45.1 overs

    Enormous hit from Mohammad Nabi!

    Initially, he looks to have top-edged the pull shot off Josh Hazlewood but the ball just keeps going, all the way into the second tier so that must have come out of the middle.

    Big, big hit.
