    "It wasn't a slog - it was good, positive batting. He jumped all over it, taking opportunity to score."

  3. Six from Shahid Afridipublished at 09:59 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Boom from Boom Boom! Afridi wants to take this on now for Pakistan and hammers Jadeja for a maximum over square leg. Four singles added as well for 10 off the over.

    BBC Monitoring's Vikas Pandey: "I can hear loud firecrackers with every Pakistani wicket.

    "This is just in Delhi, but TVs show that scenes are similar in other cities.

    "Premature celebrations? Yes, but that's what pressure does to fans in India and Pakistan."

  5. Pak 109-5 (need 192 to win off 144 balls)published at 09:57 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    As ever Marc, many thanks for your sterling efforts. Well, what a turnaround. Two overs ago, this game was finely in the balance. Now, it's well and truly in India's hands. Pakistan captain Misbah looks shell-shocked by events. It's him and the other "senior citizen" Afridi, as Harsha Bhogle calls them, who have to rebuild here.

  7. Pak 105-5 (target 301)published at 09:52 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Shahid Afridi, or Boom Boom to his mates, is the new batsman but Pakistan are slowly being strangled by spin here. To take you through to the conclusion is Adam Williams...

    "It's certainly come alive for India. The opposition may well find themselves on their death bed at the moment. Losing three wickets in three overs. It's a massive nail in Pakistan's coffin."

  9. WICKETpublished at 09:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Sheer drama in Adelaide now. It's a very, very tight call but the third umpire decides there is a nick, a very thin one, and Umar Akmal is on his way. Is that India's first ever review? They certainly seem happy with DRS at this present moment in time.

    Umar Akmal is beaten on the outside edge by Jadeja. MS Dhoni appeals for caught behind. Not out... so he reviews it.

    "A flashing almost 45-degree, half-cut, half-drive. It's flown high and hard to Raina's right and he's clung on to that."

  15. WICKETpublished at 09:43 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Two wickets in three balls! Shoaib Maqsood plays a nondescript waft outside off stump and guides a catch straight to that man Suresh Raina at slip. The roof almost comes off the Adelaide Oval.

    "As he played that shot, I said without realising 'shot'. He hit it well and firmly, but Jadeja was able to reach it and take the pace off the shot at the first grab and then pounce it on the second."

  17. WICKETpublished at 09:41 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    That's a big wicket, a very big wicket. A nation of one billion people salute Ravindra jadeja as he clings on to a sharp chance at point to send Ahmed Shehzad packing.

    Ireland wicketkeeper Niall O'Brien on Twitter:, external Pakistan right in the game. Wickets in hand they can get 100 off last 10. Shehzad needs to get a ton.

  19. Pak 101-2 (Shehzad 47, Misbah 5)published at 09:39 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Who do you fancy to win this match now? I'd have India as very slight favourites purely because they have the runs on the board. Pakistan need to go at more than seven an over to win the game. Just three more singles chipped from the target.

    "I just love the view from up here. With the windows of the commentary box open, you get a real sense of the atmosphere with the music and the noise coming through. The Adelaide sun is setting in the distance, but it's still not clear yet how this game might go."
