Seemingly helmets are not compulsory in ICC competitions, but surely in the interest of player safety the Umps should have considered him to have been ready to face the next delivery and then given him extra leeway to replace his broken equipment. 

Agree it's a nonsense, and aye, the Umps should have dingied Bangladesh. A firm "Not Out" in response to any appeal should have been enough.

Just find it utterly bizarre that Matthews was dismissed for that, but innings in all formats take forever because of the endless tinkering with gloves, committee meetings of batsmen & bowling units etc.

As was pointed out on Twitter, he could have stuck his helmet on, faced 1 ball, then nobody would have batted an eyelid at him taking 5 minutes to change it.

Australia throwing this one?

Maxwell doing his best to win it on one leg, not quite sure what the injury is but he can hardly move. 

He has just hit the deck again after running a single.

He's currently on 147 from 101 balls.

Wonder how the lad who dropped him on 33 is feeling

It was him that bowled that last over as well I think, brutal.

Why did not one bowler try to bowl wide of off stump and try to make maxwell move? Can't take too much away from that amazing knock, but the decision making by Afghanistan was poor

Typical. Couldn't sleep last night so stayed up and watched some of the Australia Afghanistan game. When I turned off Australia were 4-50 odd and neither Maxwell nor Labuschagne looked like they were going to do anything. Afghanistan were 80% chance of winning. 

Wake up this morning to see that The Big Show went nuts!

New Zealand with a big win over Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka all out for 171 in 46.4 overs an NZ chasing it down in 23.2 overs.

It puts them on 10 points but also gives their NRR a boost and makes it very difficult for Pakistan or Afghanistan to overhaul them.
