2.6 to AJ Finch, beautiful over. Perfect seam and swing bowling. A few outswingers, then inswinger from wide on the crease, and ends up with a sucker punch of an outswinger. Full, just outside off, Finch thinks he can drive at it, but it is not quite as full as he expects. Which means there is time for the ball to move and take the edge through to first slip where Nawroz Mangal takes a smart low catch. 14/1 47.2 to GJ Maxwell, there won't be a fastest WC hundred here. Maxwell yet to score an ODI hundred. Slower ball, half-volley, draws a sort of a mis-hit, and he ends up offering a catch to extra cover. Another excellent innings by Maxwell at the WACA, but still not a hundred for him. 390/5 | ||||||||||
| 10 | 0 | 89 | 2 | 8.90 | 25 | 7 | 5 | 2 | 1 | |
37.3 to DA Warner, there won't be a triple hundred today. At least one undesirable record avoided by Afghanistan. This is bowled cross-seam, which is possibly why it has come slower on to him. Warner gets under, goes on a knee, and wants to hit a massive six. Just gets too much under it, and sends it miles into the air. It has hit a meteor or something and has come back for Nabi to take a really difficult catch at mid-on. He goes reverse cup and just about holds on to it with the ball not landing sweetly in the palms. 274/2 42.5 to SPD Smith, Smith won't have a hundred. Shapoor has bowled well, has gone for a lot still, but this is good reward. Again the cross seam means it doesn't quite come on, and he is early into the drive. Straight to mid-off. Taken. 339/3 | ||||||||||

46.1 to JP Faulkner, that's a lovely yorker. Hassan brings out the mini chainsaw. Inswinging yorker. On the middle and leg. Dips on him too. Beats the inside edge. Possibly takes the toe on the way to the stumps. 382/4 | ||||||||||

49.6 to MR Marsh, short ball, down the wicket, doesn't quite time this, and he finds deep midwicket with this hit. 417/6 | ||||||||||

31.1 to Najibullah Zadran, Starc and his yorker. Swinging in towards the base of the middle stump. At 148ks. Under the toe end of the bat. Too good for Najib. 131/7 31.5 to Dawlat Zadran, it was a matter of time with Dawlat backing away every ball. Out comes this dipping yorker at 151ks at the base of off. Too good again. 131/8 | ||||||||||

7.4 to Javed Ahmadi, and this was long due. Ahmadi has not been fancying getting behind the line of the ball. Hazlewood bowls short of a length, Ahmadi is away from the line and just opens the face. Easy enough catch head high for Clarke at second slip. 32/2 36.2 to Afsar Zazai, they don't have a review left, and he has to walk back even if he has not edged it. This is short of a length, outside off, nips back in, goes between the bat and him. Haddin takes the catch. Australia are pretty confident they have got the edge, but Zazai is not walking until the umpire raises the finger. Snicko registers a small little spike. 140/9 | ||||||||||

6.3 to Usman Ghani, full and straight, swinging back in a touch, Ghani gets the bat down in time, hits it well, but there is a short straight midwicket in place. Sharp catch but straight at him. 30/1 10.2 to Asghar Afghan, lovely catch by Smith. Great hands he has. Stanikzai swings hard again, gets a thick edge that flies towards third man. M Marsh is the man running in, and this should be his catch, which is what Smith believes too, but Marsh doesn't look too keen. Smith goes back into the catch. There can be a collision. Smith catches it over his shoulder, arches back. A collision is avoided. Catch is taken. 46/3 20.1 to Nawroz Mangal, lovely catch by Finch. Short of a length, just outside off, he has opened the face on it, everybody is looking towards third man to cut it, but Finch from first slip has gone flying to his right and pouched this. Goes two handed, but it gets stuck in one hand. 94/5 37.3 to Hamid Hassan, a simple catch at short midwicket ends it. The biggest win WCs. This is short, gets on to him quicker than he expects it, gets a soft edge on the pull, and Johnson collects his fourth wicket. 142/10 | ||||||||||

19.4 to Samiullah Shinwari, Clarke has a wicket took. Another sweep. To a length ball. Gets a top edge for an easy catch at short fine leg. His first ODI wicket since September 2012. 94/4 | ||||||||||

24.2 to Mohammad Nabi, Nabi has reviewed this. Nabi looks to paddle, Clarke is running back towards short fine, then he realises Nabi has got a soft edge, and he runs back in towards the stumps to catch this. Nabi says this has come off the arm. He is right, it has come off the arm, but after hitting the top edge. And oh by the way, the snicko has not registered anything even though there is a clear edge here. 103/6 | ||||||||||
