Virat Kohli has made his intentions very clear. He's facing Shaheen Shah Afridi and winning.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is recalled to the attack, he bangs it in hard and fast and full - and Virat Kohli just whips the ball back over his head for an effortless looking four.
The crowd LOVE that. Master of his craft.

This is pretty pedestrian from Pakistan. They need to have the want to win.
India milk four singles from the over and both sides look fairly content with that.
India need 102 more to win.

Get Shaheen Shah Afridi in. Forget it being a 50 over contest, get your best guys in.
He doesn't look the most fearsome bowler at the moment, this is true.

I don't understand the value that Khushdil Shah is bringing to the game. If he gets a wicket I'll be surprised. He's not playing like he wants one and Pakistan need one.
I make this Virat Kohli's 73rd ODI half century which is quite the highlights reel.
This family in Peshawar are hoping for some Pakistan inspiration...

You look at Virat Kohli and you know why he's such a great player. It's the big shots followed by a single followed by reading the situation, rising to the situation. He's not cocky or selfish either. He does what's best for the team.
Playing Pakistan is all about controlling your nerves and he does it perfectly. It takes another kind of mental high to successfully chase like he does.
Image source, ReutersVirat Kohli has hit 50 but is still on the hunt for more, hurrying to start an aborted single that was quite frankly madness.
Shreyas Iyer is steady at the other end as they tick the card over.

Booom! Virat Kohli leans into a full, fast ball and slices it over the infield for four. That's yet another ODI 50...

India can take their time, it's as simple as that.

India, even at this slightly depleted rate, look like they are cruising already. It's like a victory lap.
It's going to take a lot for Pakistan to put that pressure on.
Virat Kohli is still at the crease and looks in terrific nick as ever. He'll look to carry this home from here on out I'm sure. Another quiet, stodgy over.

Pakistan are pulling them back a bit but not taking the wickets that they need.
There is an official club, I can send him some details...cheers Elizabeth!
Let's see if India can get this wrapped up in good time eh?
Target 242
A couple of singles off Naseem Shah to carry India to 126-2 at the halfway stage. Virat Kohli is closing in on his half-century (46 off 60) while Shreyas Iyer has 11 (23).
And now it's time for Tom Rostance to guide you through the remainder of India's chase. Earlier today, my brother screenshotted an amusing post from Tom and texted me to see if it was mine... I think he's forming a Tom Rostance fan club as we speak.
