Josh Hazlewood to Usman Ghani, 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.

Kane Richardson to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 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.

Adam Zampa to Ibrahim Zadran, 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.

Adam Zampa to Ibrahim Zadran, 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.
