AUS vs AFG Live Cricket Score

5.2 OUT! BOWLED! David Warner's adventures have come to an end! He switches his batting stance and becomes a right-handed batter even before the ball is bowled. Naveen-ul-Haq serves this on a good length and outside the leg stump in reply to the movement of the batter. David Warner pushes at the ball and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. Australia have lost their second wicket and Naveen-ul-Haq has a massive smile on his face. 48/2

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Short of a length shaping away from the batter, Cameron Green fails to ride with the bounce and gets an outside edge as he tried to cut. The ball flies off the outside edge to Gulbadin Naib at first slip who takes a sharp catch. 22/1

10.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket right after the break and the dropped catch of Mitchell Marsh has not cost the afghans too many runs! A flighted ball swerved full and outside the off pole, Mitchell Marsh looks to sweep this square on the leg side but only manages to top edge this high into the sky. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has to run to his left behind the wicket and takes a good catch with the ball swaying around in the air. It almost slipped through his gloves but he managed to hold onto it and Australia lose their fourth wicket. 86/4

6 OUT! LBW! Back of a length on off, Steven Smith shuffles across to work it on the leg side. Fails to make any contact and gets caught plumb in front of the stumps. The umpire thinks about it and raises the dreaded finger. Steven Smith decides to send it upstairs. The UltraEdge shows no bat and it's three reds on BallTracking. Steven Smith has to walk back and Australia lose a review. Marcus Stoinis makes his way out to the middle. 52/3

15.3 OUT! TAKEN! Australia have lost half their side and Afghanistan have the wicket of an in-form Marcus Stoinis! Flatter one from Rashid Khan, outside off with some turn. Marcus Stoinis looks to knock it through the offside but gets a thick outside edge. The ball carries towards point and Usman Ghani takes a dolly. Australia would have hoped for Marcus Stoinis to take them to a substantial score. 139/5

17.5 OUT! TIMBER! Fazalhaq Farooqi has bowled an absolute screamer here! Nails a yorker in line with the stumps and Matthew Wade is late in bringing his bat down to dig the ball out. Watches his stumps shatter and the Australian captain has to make the long walk back to the pavilion. Australia have lost wickets at regular intervals and they will feel that they could have pushed for more had they preserved their wickets. Afghanistan have their sixth wicket and looked pumped. 155/6

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Naveen-ul-Haq has claimed his third wicket! He serves a slower delivery on a shorter length and outside the off stump. Pat Cummins looks to get under this and loft this over deep cover-point. He does not get a good connection as Rashid Khan comes running in from the deep. He slides to take the catch and almost goes past the ball but manages to hold onto it near his face. Afghanistan have their seventh now and Australia have just lost their way toward the end. 156/7

19 OUT! RUN OUT! That is some brilliant piece of fielding from Naveen-ul-Haq and he prevents the single on the last ball and dismisses Kane Richardson as well! Bowls this on a good length and in line with the stumps, Glenn Maxwell knocks this back to the bowler and Kane Richardson is looking for a single to get Glenn Maxwell on strike the following over. Naveen-ul-Haq collects the ball and throws it at the non-striker's end with Kane Richardson well short of the crease. Australia have lost eight wickets now but with Glenn Maxwell still out there he needs the strike. Adam Zampa walks in to bat now. 159/8

5.3 OUT! CAUGHT! The dropped catch has not cost Australia! Rahmanullah Gurbaz departs on his very next delivery. Kane Richardson bowls this on a good length and outside off, Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks to loft this over mid off but the length is not right for the shot. He ends up hitting the ball straight into the hands of David Warner at mid off and Rahmanullah Gurbaz's entertaining inning has come to an end. Australia have claimed their second wicket and are looking to take control of this game. 40/2

2.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Australia have drawn first blood and Usman Ghani has to depart! Josh Hazlewood decides to bowl this on a good length and outside the off pole, Usman Ghani looks to pull but gets a top edge that soars high into the air. There is some confusion between David Warner and Pat Cummins on which one will go for the catch and eventually Pat Cummins is the one to go for it. He takes it tumbling forwards behind the bowler after coming in running from mid on. 15/1

13.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Back-to-back wickets for Australia and the tide has turned in an instant! Both set batters are now back in the pavilion and Afghanistan have lost their way here. Adam Zampa bowls this on a fuller length and outside off. Ibrahim Zadran sits down on one knee and tries to sweep but gets a top edge. It carries to short fine leg where Mitchell Marsh takes an easy catch. Adam Zampa has now got his second wicket and has turned it around for Australia. 99/4

13.1 RUN OUT! The partnership has been broken courtesy of some outstanding fielding! Full length on middle, Ibrahim Zadran flicks it to deep mid-wicket and calls for two. A brilliant throw by Glenn Maxwell from the deep as he picks it up and hits the bull's eye at the bowler's end. Ibrahim Zadran is on the floor after his dive and he has his face in the ground. The replays confirm that he is well short of his crease and he has to make the long walk back to the shed. A disappointing end to a wonderful inning. Mohammad Nabi makes his way out to the middle now. 99/3

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust. Short and outside off, Mohammad Nabi shuffles across and pulls this one without any power. Ends up chipping it to David Warner at deep square leg. He doesn't drop those and Afghanistan are now six down. 103/6

13.4 OUT! TAKEN! Afghanistan are suddenly five down in a jiffy. Fuller one on off, Najibullah Zadran comes down the track and goes through with a swing. He tries to go over the long off but mistimes the shot. Glenn Maxwell settles under and takes a good catch around his head. Darwish Rasooli is the new batter to make his way out. 99/5

19.1 RUN OUT! Bowls it outside leg, Darwish Rasooli leaves it for a wide. Rashid Khan calls for one to get on strike. Keeper throws it towards Marcus Stoinis who makes a direct hit to the non strikers end. Afghanistan won't mind this wicket as they get Rashid Khan back on strike! 21 needed off 6 now. 148/7
