Nathan Ellis to Azmatullah, SIX, what a hit! Plenty of bottom hand power on that one from Azmatullah Omarzai. Stays deep in his crease, waits for this slower back of length ball to arrive and then slams it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. That was the longer part of the ground as well, incredible hitting!

Dwarshuis to Azmatullah, 1 run, back of length angling to off, guided towards third-man

Dwarshuis to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Maxwell at straight down the ground!! End of the party! A short delivery just outside off, Rashid stands on off and then looks to pull it away.

Nathan Ellis to Gulbadin, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Wicket this time! So the drop from Short isn't costly at all. A back of length delivery at normal pace, Naib clears the front leg for a big heave across the line. Gets a top edge that goes a high way up in the air but the keeper settles under it and grabs on. Gulbadin c Josh Inglis b Nathan Ellis 4(12)

Nathan Ellis to Gulbadin, 1 run, top effort from Matthew Short, almost a blinder of a catch. A slower bouncer from Ellis and Naib is early on the pull shot. Skews it to the right of Short and he sticks out his right hand and reaches the ball. A full stretch dive and gets the ball under control, but it slips out as he thuds onto the ground

Nathan Ellis to Azmatullah, no run, short of length and outside off, goes past the edge as Omarzai tried to punch at it. A very confident appeal for a caught behind and then a review, but clear daylight between bat and ball

Spencer Johnson to Gulbadin, leg byes, FOUR, short and onto the body, deflects off the rib cage to the left of the keeper for four leg byes

Spencer Johnson to Nabi, wide, out Nabi Run Out!! oops.. what a strange turn of events. A short ball that goes down the leg side. Inglis doesn't gather it cleanly and parries it to his left. The Afghan batters think about sneaking the bye, but Nabi is sent back towards the batter's end. Inglis throws it towards the keeper's stumps and bowler Johnson is there to collect and throw it onto the stumps to catch the oldest player of the Champions Trophy out of his crease. Great presence of mind from Spencer Johnson, a needless loss of a wicket for Afghanistan. Nabi run out (Josh Inglis/Spencer Johnson) 1(1)

Zampa to Shahidi, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Partnership broken once again! Shahidi was just not able to break the shackles once again. Shuffles inwards to try and ramp sweep this delivery and Zampa smartly pushes it flat and wide. Gets a bit of extra bounce and that is Shahidi's undoing. Hits him high on the bat as he tried to ramp and skews it towards the backward square leg fielder. Shahidi c Labuschagne b Zampa 20(49) [4s-1]

Spencer Johnson to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Smith!! Excellent take by Smith. Spencer Johnson bowled it on a length and kept it wide of off stump.

Sediqullah Atal c Smith b Spencer Johnson 85(95) [4s-6 6s-3]

Zampa to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, that was a juicy toss up in the slot, Sediqullah clears his front leg and smokes it over wide long-on for a 79-metre maximum

Dwarshuis to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, too short and too wide, Sediqullah accepts the offer and slaps the pull over mid-wicket. No-one in the deep there...

Maxwell to Shahidi, FOUR, Maxwell saw Shahidi coming down the pitch and fired it quicker outside off. Shahidi throws his hands hurriedly at the last moment and manages a thick inside edge that nutmegs the keeper. Very, very lucky there is Hashmatullah Shahidi

Zampa to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Labuschagne!! That's a soft dismissal! Afghanistan's centurion in the last game has fallen cheaply today. That's a big wicket for Australia. Short and wide, turning away slowly, Ibrahim Zadran reaches out to it and chops at it. Can't control his stroke and ends up playing it uppishly towards backward point. Labuschagne moves to his right and reverse cups it with ease. Zampa has delivered the goods in his first over. Ibrahim Zadran c Labuschagne b Zampa 22(28) [4s-2]

Spencer Johnson to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, that's a lovely stroke! This shot will give Sediqullah Atal some confidence! Fractionally overpitched outside off, holding its line, Sediqullah Atal leans towards it and allows his hands to flow through. Creams the drive through covers for a glorious boundary

Spencer Johnson to Sediqullah Atal, byes, FOUR, how has that missed the off-stump? So close! Length ball outside off, seaming in appreciably, Sediqullah Atal pushes at it tenatively but is beaten all ends up on the inside edge. The ball flies over the stumps and swings further down. Inglis dives full length to his right but can't stop it

Spencer Johnson to Gurbaz, out Bowled!! Knocked him over with a ripper! Spencer Johnson is cock-a-hoop! Gurbaz is standing there in disbelief! A searing yorker on off at 140.7kph, swinging in late, Gurbaz is defeated by the pace as well as the late movement. Tries to dig it out but is late in putting his bat down. The ball goes under the bat and crashes into the off-stump. Ideal start for Australia. Gurbaz's poor tournament with the bat continues. Gurbaz b Spencer Johnson 0(5)
