    Thanks Aatif. One presumes that particular stat didn't form the crux of Muhammad Rizwan's team talk.

    Boundaries were few and far between for Pakistan but these sixes from Khushdil Shah and Haris Rauf provided some late cheer.

    This was a huge moment in the first innings, with Hardik Pandya removing set batter Babar Azam at the back end of the powerplay.

    And it was followed just six balls later by an excellent run out from Axar Patel to leave Pakistan reeling on 47-2.

    Ilyas Najib: 241 isn’t enough for Pakistan, I feel they are about 45 runs short in making this a real competitive match.

  10. 'We'll have to put up a fight'published at 13:04 Greenwich Mean Time

    Pakistan player Saud Shakeel: "I think I could've stayed out there for longer. It wasn't a good time to get out. Early on, the ball wasn't coming to the bat nicely, there was a little bit of swing.

    "I think we'll have to put up a fight and take wickets early on to put some pressure on."

    I was thinking if Pakistan could get to the 270 mark, it's a good chance. It's been a strange innings but India will take the momentum into the second innings. They look like the strongest team in this competition so far.

    Thanks Tom!

    Well, this match certainly perked up a bit during the second half of Pakistan's innings.

    Can they defend 241? Will India complete their chase in double-quick time? Get involved and let us know your thoughts!

    Something special required - and here to see if Pakistan can do it is Elizabeth Botcherby!

    It's going to take something special. The only way that Pakistan can stay in this competition is if they bowl India out.

    Five wickets in the final 10 overs did for Pakistan. But could that target be defendable?

    It's a well deserved wicket for Harshit Rana.

    That's the innings!

    Khushdil gets hold of that one but he can only again pick out that man Virat Kohli in the deep.

    India will have 242 to chase for the win.
