  1. Pak 118-2

    Wooof! Muhammad Rizwan baseballs a shot off Mohammed Shami to Shubman Gill fielding at mid-wicket, the ball flies to him at rapid pace and doesn't quite carry. Would have been some catch!

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is so strange from Pakistan. 99 dot balls, it's like they've said, right we've had enough now. Finally they're putting some pressure on the bowlers.

    It gives you something to get up for.

  3. Pak 116-2

    Nine off the over, Pakistan finding third gear after a really stodgy middle spell to the innings. Bon Jovi cranks up in the middle of Dubai, naturally.

    I was surprised to see Pakistan chose to bat first after winning the toss. There is no real advantage to batting first on this track. In fact, with dew coming into play later, this looks like a poor decision.

  7. Pak 113-2

    Shakeel, oh kneel! Great shot again to end the over as the opener gets down on one knee to whip away for four.

    Muhammad Rizwan gets on the act with the first ball of the next over and batters Ravindra Jadeja for four over midwicket.

    Runs flowing now...

    Pakistan are really struggling for boundaries here. India are bowling well but Pakistan need to find an answer, their run rate is going down.

    You feel like they might be able to rotate the strike more with these sweep shots they keep playing.

  9. All eyes on

    Fans gather round a screen in Amritsar, India, to watch the match.

  10. Pak 103-2

    Hundred up! A neat reverse sweep flat-batted away for four by Saud Shakeel.

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

    We've come to expect not particularly inflated scores on this pitch.

    Pakistan need to get on with it now. 95 dot balls is a lot.

  13. How's stat?!

    Thanks Elizabeth! That four from Mohammad Rizwan was Pakistan's first boundary since the first ball of the 16th over.

    It's been a bit of a slog on account of there not being many slogs. Let's hope they step it up a bit eh?

  14. Pak 99-2

    At the halfway mark, Pakistan are 99-2.

    Muhammad Rizwan has broken their boundary drought. Will there be more fireworks to come?

    Here's Tom Rostance to take you through the next 25 overs.

  15. Pak 98-2

    Four for Muhammad Rizwan! A flat sweep down on one knee. Lovely.

  16. Not out - Pak 94-2

    Not out. Saud Shakeel was safely home.

    Good urgency from the Pakistan batter. More of that, please.

  17. Umpire review

    A direct hit. Is Saud Shakeel out there?

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There's no let up with this bowling attack.

  19. Pak 90-2

    Ravindra Jadeja really motors through his overs. He clearly didn't go to the Hardik Pandya school of nonchalance.

    Four from it, including that three from Saud Shakeel.

  20. Pak 89-2

    Saud Shakeel runs three?! It's more out of necessity than enthusiasm with the ball once again getting stuck in the slow outfield.

    I always hated running three (on those rare occasions that my bat connected with the ball...).
