Hilariously stupid shot from Warner

Extraordinary. I've never understood why clean hitters like him resort to switch hitting or reverse sweeps. Seems such high risk for low probability reward.

It feels like something you could try to throw a bowler of his game if he's bowling well. Doing it when you're already on top is just stupid

Aussie in reasonable shape in the game at 86/4 after 10.4 but they have just lost their set batsman (Marsh) and really need to be on more to improve their NRR.

Good review. I thought it was out live.

Afghanistan need to get one of these fellas or else thr game will quickly get away from them.

Doesn't look like the Australian top order will be even close troubling the NRR spreadsheets after all..

[booboo]

Nice catch Afgan guy

Aussies not exactly ripping up trees right now

[Damo]

The OZ bowlers will have to do very well because the batting has not been convincing. Looks unlikely they will even reach our score of 185.

Maxwell farming the strike...

[Damo]

Afghani bowlers are impressive. It's a shame they had two washouts because they don't appear to be mugs.

We've made the semis

168 means they will need the Poms to trip up

Commentators saying Aus need to restrict Afg to under 106 to go ahead of England on NRR.

And that doesn't account for any NRR gain from England if they win v Sri Lanka.

I am devastated to say that the chances of Australia making the semi finals appear to be quite low,

According to Cricinfo

The hosts now need to try and keep Afghanistan to 106 or fewer to get themselves ahead of England's run rate. In fact, our stats editor S Rajesh offers this clarification: "Assuming England score 160 and win by a run, Australia need to keep Afghanistan down to 116 to stay ahead."

Fuck me that was a clean hit
