    Boom. Mohammad Rizwan is straight into the action, dismissively sweeping Kuldeep Yadav for four.

    Pakistan need a big knock from their skipper today.

    There was no run in that, maybe because he'd stepped out already he thought he could make it. Axar Patel is an outstanding fielder, Imam-ul-Haq had no chance.

    It's really the dot ball pressure that caused that. They were looking to break it, rotate the strike. It was an ill judged run.

    Wonderful, wonderful throw. Great fielding from Axar Patel, credit to him.

    Imam-ul-Haq run out (Axar) 10 (Pak 47-2)

    Well, Imam-ul-Haq and Saud Shakeel won't be building a partnership today.

    It's a fantastic throw from Axar Patel but you have to wonder what Iman-ul-Haq was thinking there. It's a direct hit and he must be short by at least a foot.

    Saud Shakeel is a very good player. He's worked his way up this order.

  6. Pak 47-1published at 9 overs

    A big over for India, bringing the wicket of Babar Azam.

    Saud Shakeel is the new man in for Pakistan and he comfortably runs two to get off the mark. What can he and Imam-ul-Haq build here?

    In comes Kuldeep Yadav.

    Babar Azam has played a couple of sweet cover drives but this wasn't quite the same as the ones in the past over. Credit to the bowler.

    The anxiety of getting boundaries has given India their first wicket.

    Babar Azam has got to go, the big one's gone. The Indian fans here are going wild.

    Babar c Rahul b Pandya 23 (Pak 41-0)

    Oh no! Babar Azam nicks through to KL Rahul and has to depart for 23.

    He'd opened the over with a four and was looking in good touch. A big blow for Pakistan.

    Delight for Hardik Pandya, who was furious with his previous delivery.

  10. Pak 37-0published at 8 overs

    Four more for Babar Azam. Up and over mid-on and one bounce to the boundary.

    A lovely shot in an otherwise tidy over from Axar Patel.

    This has been a feature of this Pakistan team for a while now, they can be quite tentative in the powerplay.

  13. Pak 31-0published at 7 overs

    Time for a bit of spin. In comes Axar Patel.

  14. Pak 31-0published at 6.5 overs

    Lovely shot from Babar Azam, holding the pose as he sends Hardik Pandya through the covers for four.

    That's Pakistan's first boundary for a while.

  15. Pak 26-0published at 6.1 overs

    A first bowling change for India, with Hardik Pandya replacing Mohammed Shami.

    A match between these two countries must be the height of sporting pressure.

  17. Pak 26-0published at 6 overs

    Harshit Rana is pushing the speed gun above 140kph and Imam-ul-Haq's response is to flail his bat around.

    The Pakistan opener hasn't settled into his innings yet.

  18. Pak 25-0published at 5.1 overs

    Mohammed Shami left the field at the end of the fifth over.

    Not a good sign for India. Remember, he took five wickets against Bangladesh the other day.

    So far, I would say it's been pretty even.

    This is a much better over from Mohammed Shami. He's found his line and has beaten Imam-ul-Haq's bat a couple of times.

    However, he's not looking too happy out there, wincing after every delivery. The physio is summoned midway through proceedings and pokes and prods Shami's right leg.
