    Technically, India are so good. They are smart enough to play the situation, Pakistan didn't do that.

  2. Ind 32-1

    Target 242

    A wicket in the fifth over, just one run off the sixth. A good spell for Pakistan.

    It is a breakthrough for Pakistan, but with Virat Kohli the next man in, there really is no let-up for the bowlers.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Brilliant delivery. Pakistan have their breakthrough.

    What a ball. Absolute brilliant delivery. Rohit Sharma yet again late on that one, expecting a fuller ball but it goes back and rattles the stumps.

    Absolutely sensational. You know it's coming and you can't do anything about it.

    WICKET

    Rohit b Shaheen 20 (Ind 31-1)

    What a ball! Pakistan needed that!

    Shaheen Shah Afridi responds to being crunched for four with an inswinging yorker which breaches Rohit Sharma's defences and crashes into the stumps.

    It's important that Pakistan, for the sake of this innings, don't let India run away with this early.

  9. Ind 26-0

    Target 242

    Six more ticked off India's chase, including another boundary for Rohit Sharma.

    At the other end, Shubman Gill has changed bats after smacking two fours off Shaheen Shah Afridi's previous over. He must go through a lot of bats if he swaps them every couple of boundaries.

  10. Ind 26-0

    Boom! Rohit Sharma comes down the track to Naseem Shah and sends the ball right back over his head for four.

  11. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's glorious. That really is a tough shot, nothing more than that, brilliant timing.

  12. Ind 20-0

    Target 242

    Exquisite timing from Shubman Gill to bisect the field and pick up four runs through the covers. His inside-edged four to start the over was fortuitous but there was nothing lucky about his second boundary.

  13. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There's more pressure on Pakistan, being the hosts. They've got to find something now.

  15. Ind 12-0

    Target 242

    10 runs off the second over.

    How do Pakistan stop Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma?

  16. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What a shot that is. It all happened in slow motion.

  17. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Now the crowd are up and about, some shot that.

  18. 6 runs

    Ind 12-0

    Rohit Sharma is in the mood!

    His first boundary isn't pretty, top-edging over the slips for four, but his second is delicious, launching Naseem Shah over square leg for the first six of the innings.

    Naseem Shah bowls the out-swinger so well. They need a good spell here from him.

  20. Ind 2-0

    Naseem Shah is partnering Shaheen Shah Afridi with the new ball.
