  1. Smashed it!

    Iyer launches it over mid-wicket for a 102-metre six

    For want of another comparison, he's smacked that two-thirds of the height of Blackpool Tower.

    What is it with Pakistan and India, that Pakistan never seem to get the better of their rivals? It's like a mental block, like how England never seem to get across the line against Australia. Just once I'd love to see Pakistan silence a stadium filled with blue.

  3. Ind 179-2

    Shreyas Iyer has all the shots today, a nice eye-catching reverse sweep flip deserves more than one. India just pick up singles at will.

    It's going to be tough for Pakistan fans to process this. With the emotions attached to this contest, there be a massive reaction.

    Fans have got a point, this one way traffic of India winning has got to stop. It's been going on for a long time and you already know it's over before the contest has started.

  5. Ind 175-2

    India need 67 from 108 balls

    It's a cruise for India at the moment.

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

    It's beautifully played. Shreyas Iyer with an elegant cut shot.

  7. Ind 174-2

    Oh yes, Shreyas Iyer! Khushdil Shah drops short and wide and the India batter waits for it and cuts delightfully away for four.

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

    I think Pakistan will need to find more technically good, younger players.

  9. Wing to wing, not nose to tail.

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

    Shreyas Iyer with a shot of some authority. India are bringing out the party tricks.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 168-2

    Goodness me! That's going to need a ticket to get back in, Shreyas Iyer treating some spinning dross with absolute disrespect, spanked a mile back into the screaming stands.

    He hit that 102 metres - about one and a half Boeing 747s.

  12. Vintage Virat

    You'd be happy with any of these down the nets wouldn't you?

  13. How's stat?!

    Virat Kohli averages 55.69 against Pakistan in ODIs. No India player with 500 plus runs in the format against Pakistan averages more.

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

    Saud Shakeel has dropped a few recently. This should've been taken.

    There's been opportunities, Pakistan have been second in the field today. When they played New Zealand, they were also under par.

  15. dropped catch

    Shreyas dropped on 26

    Chance! Shreyas miscues a pull to Saud Shakeel at midwicketish, the ball is high above his head but at this level, on this stage, that's a very catchable chance.

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

    To make Khushdil Shah more potent I think they've got to fiddle with the field.

  17. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Back to back boundaries off Khushdil Shah. India can really enjoy these runs now, there's no pressure on them.

  18. Ind 158-2

    India need 92

    Shot! Big reverse sweep from Shreyas Iyer, flogging a straight ball through the gap for four. He then tickles an orthodox sweep away for four...

  19. Ind 150-2

    150 is up as India see the challenge of Shaheen Shah Afridi coming into the attack and raise him for 10 runs. That's a 50 partnership too.

  20. 50 runs

    Kohli reaches 50

    Virat Kohli has hit 27 ODI centuries when chasing a score. Just sayin'
