On the one hand, Afghanistan shouldn't be playing at all due to their lack of women's cricket pathway and the comparison of that with apartheid South Africa. On the other hand... come on Afghanistan! It's a difficult one for sure, but I've come round a little bit on this one seeing how much they mean to the exiled Afghans in Aus - all of whom sing the pre-Taliban National Anthem and wave the pre-Taliban flag. It's not as cut and dried as apartheid SA I don't think, but I can certainly see the worry.

I have a bad feeling about this. Turning pitch, Malan injured...

Far more nerve wracking than it needed to be, but job done.

This is a choke, right? We can call it a choke this time?

The mad part is he's 32. Thirty two! He played IPL in 2012 and regularly from 2015 or so. It's an incredible late bloomer story.

Who are this competent, ruthless cricket team and what have they done with Pakistan?

This has big 'England spun out for 120' energy. Can we bring in Joe Root as a concussion substitute? Feels like his kind of game...

About par, you'd think. Monster innings from Hardik.
