N i picked him 2 times today. Rest mostly AFG player.

13.2 Cummins to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, Cummins hits the deck hard on off stump, bounced almost to shoulder height. Zadran arches his bat and hangs out his bat to ramp it very fine, almost exactly over the keeper's head for a boundary. Great innovation!

Raja: "Cummins is missing a trick by bowling Maxwell against the 2 right handers. That too, these are 2 important batsmen for AFG. Zampa should be the one bowling to them."

sudesh: "Irrespective of outcome of this match, The lesson for high ranked teams would be not to consider the Afghans lightly from now on. It is not a cake walk any more."

Drinks are on the field now. A watchful start from Afghanistan who have only lost Gurbaz so far. Australia have been disciplined with their bowling, no offering too many 'hit-me' deliveries.

The scoring rate is a little less than 5 at the moment, and these two batters need to consolidate on their partnership and look to improve on their strike rates as well. Interesting next hour of play coming up...
