    "I think there must have been a few words between Kohli and the batsman. At the start of Kohli's innings, Sohail Khan got right in Virat's face so maybe he was returning the favour."

    Seems to be getting heated out there despite the game being dead as a contest. Sohail Khan seems to have something to say for himself and then Virat Kohli gets the crowd going by waving his hands in the air. Misbah, meanwhile, isn't bothered by all that and just decides to hit Jadeja for three consecutive fours to move to 76.

    Adil Shahzeb from BBC Urdu in Adelaide: Just came out for some fresh air - saw tens of Pakistani fans leaving Adelaide Oval. It seems very difficult now, but Misbah can still perform.

  4. Pak 203-8 (Target 301)published at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Mohit Sharma almost accounted for Yasir the ball before as a pull shot went out to deep square leg. Shami came running in to try and grab it, but couldn't quite cling on with his dive. Sohail Khan is the new man in at 10.

    "He hit that one firmly - it was right out of the middle of the bat without the elevation he was looking for and Yadav took the catch right in front of the India logo on his shirt."

  6. WICKETpublished at 11:08 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Eighth wicket down for Pakistan as Yasir Shah tries to smash Mohit Sharma past mid-on. He doesn't get it wide enough though and Yadav takes the simple catch without having to move an inch.

    "Ashwin has been excellent tonight, he's changed his pace nicely. It's usual for a spinner to up their pace, but Ashwin has done nicely because he's taken pace off the ball. He's got the ball to grip, has taken a wicket and delivered three maidens. India will be very happy about that."

  8. Pak 200-7 (Target 301)published at 11:03 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Yasir Shah opens his boundary account as he fetches one from outside off stump and slog sweeps Ashwin for four. Could be some vital fantasy team points up for grabs here in the closing overs. Sadly the real contest in the middle is going down a somewhat predictable path to an India win.

  9. Pak 196-7 (need 105 to win off 54 balls)published at 11:01 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Pakistan will want to finish strong here with an eye on the net run rate in Pool B. They'll finish some way short of victory today, but in the long-term they'll be conscious not to suffer a drubbing. Yadav completes a ninth over with just two runs from it.

    "India's batting was very controlled, patient and solid. It was only in the last few overs that they lost a few wickets. It's been a good, solid performance by India. It's Pakistan who need to improve a bit."

  12. Pak 194-7 (Misbah 63, Yasir 6)published at 10:56 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Misbah picks up four more with a neat reverse sweep off Jadeja. In to the 60s now, but the Pakistan captain takes a wild swing at the final delivery of the over. Head high in the air, no contact with the ball and through to the keeper.

  13. What you may have missed...published at 10:54 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    If you've just joining us this morning, let us fill you in:

    South Africa, one of the pre-tournament favourites to lift the World Cup, beat Zimbabwe by 62 runs in Hamilton in Pool B.

    They defended a total of 339-4 which featured an ODI record fifth-wicket stand of 256 between David Miller (138 off 92 balls) and JP Duminy (115 off 100).

    In Adelaide, and also in Pool B, defending champions India are closing in on victory over neighbours and rivals Pakistan...

  14. Pak 188-7 (Yadav 8-0-43-2)published at 10:53 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    For the first time today, there's a noticeable hush in the Adelaide Oval crowd. A sign that the fizz has gone well and truly out of the contest. Umesh Yadav continues his steady display with the ball, conceding just four singles.

    "The Pakistan batting collapsed too easily. They were doing reasonably well but then they suddenly lost concentration and discipline. The bowling could be better too. Without raising a gallop, India were allowed to hit the ball into gaps for ones and twos."

  16. Pak 184-7 (need 117 to win off 72 balls)published at 10:48 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Jadeja back on and in to his eighth over. Little of note to report as the game goes through the motions somewhat.

    "There's not quite a feel of celebration about Misbah's half-century like there was when Virat Kohli reached his 100. But while there's Misbah, there's hope I suppose."

  18. Pak 181-7 (Misbah 55, Yasir 2)published at 10:45 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Shami comes in for some punishment from Misbah this time, who hammers four down the ground and then takes a couple to bring up his 50. A muted celebration, but he's reached the landmark off 55 balls with four fours and a six. Again, he shows his strength off his legs with another four from a full toss.

  19. 'Better than winning the World Cup'published at 10:45 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    BBC Monitoring's Vikas Pandey: Fireworks are getting louder in Delhi, and Twitter and Facebook have exploded with comments. For the enthusiastic Indian fan, Dhoni's men have already won the match. I can sense that people are getting ready for celebrations on Delhi's streets. Just heard this comment: 'Winning against Pakistan is as good as winning the World Cup.'

  20. Pak 169-7 (Misbah 44, Yasir 1)published at 10:40 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Misbah's not done yet as he slog-sweeps Ashwin for six in defiant fashion. Stands and admires his shot afterwards. He turns down a single next ball though, presumably to protect his new partner Yasir Shah. A couple more singles before Misbah cuts a short and wide one away for four more.
