Afghans batting v Aus.
First ever world cup century for Afghans. Brilliant.
233-4 from 45. Need to push on now, but pitch has turn and they may cause some trouble for the Aussies later
Finished on 291-5 with some great late hitting.
No ODI side has chased down more than 281 at this ground. Game on!

How did Mitchell Starc get away with that? His last ball was an outrageous wide, clearly way over the blue line but not called by the umpire, is he blind? He should be made to explain. On such margins are games won or lost.

Aussies unhappy that a “catch” on Rashid, who later hit some outrageous shots, was given not out. Commentators could not understand it either, but Stoinis grassed the ball for a split second, so tough shit

Aus 16-1 after 3 overs. Head out for a duck. Warner dropped on 4.
Edit. 49-3 from 8.1. Warner with an awful slog sweep attempt, gone.
49-4 as Inglis goes first ball. Have not even started with their spinners yet 
72-5, Stonis just survives an LBW appeal on Umpire’s call.
89-6 from 17 overs

91-7, Starc caught by the 'keeper with a superb diving catch after he spilled it initially.
Oh interesting, Starc didn’t edge the ball, it clipped the edge of the stump but didn’t knock the bails off. Why didn’t he review it?? Were they out of review?

They still had a review left. It does make you wonder how infallible the technology is, Starc obviously thought he hit it and in my experience you do know.
Starc stood, had no idea what happened, thought about a review, then he ran out of time! Aus having a nightmare today
Maxwell 100* from 76 balls.
Aus 186-7 from 32.2 overs
Aus need 106 from 106 balls
Maxwell with severe cramp. Still hitting well but not moving
Maxwell can hardly move but he is going to win this for Australia.
