09:34: Pakistan making heavy weather of their cricket match against Afghanistan. They need 126 to win, and are on 63 for 3 in 12 overs. They need 63 to win in 8 overs, a shade under 8 per over required. Not the time to panic, but a big over is needed rightaway.

In terms of skill required, I think sepaktakraw is one of the toughest sports around. Very difficult to compare sports, but sepak looks insanely hard to master!

Pakistan lost to Iran in the earlier semifinal.

07:58: India have opened a big lead now. 26-5 now.
