6.14pm Oh man this doesn't excite anymore. yet another 400. Some excellent batting but the odds are so stacked in the batsmen's favour the thrill is gone. Warner threatened a triple century today, but fell short of a double. Maxwell threatened breaking the record for the fastest WC hundred, but once again fell in the 90s. Afghanistan were spirited, they bowled well in patches, but they just came up against a really dominating batting unit on a flat pitch. See you in half an hour
