    As Geoff (the cricketing God) Boycott used to say: "Let's wait until both teams have played on the wicket".

    Another one goes down. Kuldeep Yadav had a lot of ground to cover to be fair to him but he gets both hands to it. That's two drops in two overs for India.

    It's another really tough chance - but a chance! Saud Shakeel skies one to deep midwicket, Kuldeep sprints round to dive for the catch and gets fingers to it. But it's into the grass.

    Salman Agha is so relaxed. He's blowing bubblegum and has made a bubble inside his helmet.

    Salman Ali Agha is the new batter for Pakistan.

    That dropped catch didn't cost too many! It only cost two in fact.

    Ugly shot from Rizwan. A big old hack across the line, he gets himself into a right tangle

    It's lucky for India that the dropped catch doesn't cost them too much.

    Got him!

    As it turns out that tough drop didn't cost India anything. Pakistan captain Muhammad Rizwan, trying to get on with it, hoiks across the line and is castled. Clunk, you're gone!

    That was a great effort form Harshit to get there. It tells you the standard of this India team, all his teammates are furious at him for dropping it.

    It felt like that was going to be out the whole way through.

    Harshit Rana, he did all the hard work, got underneath it but couldn't take it.

    How expensive is that going to be for India?

  11. dropped catch

    Rizwan dropped on 46published at 11:38 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February

    Chance!

    Muhammad Rizwan comes down the pitch again and hits Hardik Pandya high, high, high into the Dubai sky! He's gong for six but doesn't quite get hold of it, Harshit Rana is the man under the ball and doesn't quite garther it on the stretch.

    Great running from these two. Rizwan knew as soon as he hit it that he was running.

    Hardik varies his line and his pace well, keeping Saud Shakeel and Muhammad Rizwan guessing.

    Rizwan comes down the track but doesn't middle his shot and scrambles a two.

  14. Pak 144-2published at 32.2 overs

    Hardik Pandya is back into the attack, a slower-ball bouncer is first out of his bag but he gets it wrong and it's a wide. His first spell was spot on - what will Pakistan's pair do against him now?

    I feel like India would chase down 250. 270 however, it would definitely ask more questions.

    They have to give India something challenging to chase you feel.

    Pakistan have definitely steadied the ship. Whether they took too long to up the ante, only time will tell. If they can keep going like this they should be able to put up a decent score.

    Take note, BBC Sport HQ bosses. That is a screen.

    Pakstan nurdle a few more singles away but can't find a big shot off the nagging Axar Patel.

    Right, double your score at 30 overs, that's what my old housemate used to say is a good target in a 50-over game. Let's go Pakistan...
