    "If it's possible to be mildly satisfied when you've conceded 300, then Pakistan may well be just that. If you'd said before the game that Virat Kohli would get a hundred and Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina a half-century apiece, you'd suspect that Pakistan would be batted out off the game. Not the case.

    "On a good wicket with short square boundaries, 301 is very gettable. Misbah-ul-Haq may have date with the match referee, though. Those 50 overs took four hours."

    "Virat Kohli is the first player to score a century in his first match of a World Cup tournament twice. He also made 100 not out against Bangladesh in his opening game in 2011."

    India batsman Virat Kohli, who made 107 off 126 balls: "Coming out here and scoring a century against Pakistan is a very special feeling.

    "I tried a bit too much in the tri-series and warm-ups games. It was all about giving myself a bit more time. It allowed us to set up a big target.

    "I would wrap this ground up and take it home with me. I've played a few of my best innings here - coming out here and scoring a century against Pakistan is a very special feeling."

    And after that late flurry of wickets, India get themselves to 300 off the final delivery of the innings. Shami squeezes one out to the point boundary and they get back for a couple. Sohail Khan might have missed out on a hat-trick, but he finishes with figures of 5-55 and raises the ball aloft to the crowd as he walks off the field.

    "It was good thinking to get the yorker in quick. It was smart to the new tailender and it almost worked."

  7. On a hat-trickpublished at 07:26 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    In comes Sohail Khan to Mohammad Shami and he almost gets the hat-trick. Beautiful yorker, it beats the batsman, but misses off stump by a matter of millimetres!

    "That was a slower ball which deceived him. He was moving to leg and he didn't realise it was a slower ball out of the back of the hand."

    Gone, first ball! Ajinkya Rahane comes and goes without scoring and that's two in two for Sohail Khan.

    "All these wickets will put a deflationary thought in India's head. They will have thought they'd get 340 with their wickets in hand. Pakistan are finishing on an upbeat note."

    Two go in two balls for India as the captain tries to go big in the last over, but only finds the hands of his opposite number at mid-off.

    "Pakistan have held their nerve. They have an average attack and it's a very flat pitch. India are not out of the woods because they don't have a great bowling attack."

  13. WICKETpublished at 07:20 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Wahab Riaz comes on for the penultimate over and picks up the wicket of Ravi Jadeja, who takes a big swing and misses. He was almost gone at the start of the over after taking a quick single. Two chances to run him out at the non-striker's end were missed. Shahid Afridi had a go first and missed and then Yasir Shah took aim and the same happened.

    "A lot of one-day cricket now is like baseball. At the end of an innings they stand there and just hit the ball. They are only interested in their home run, the boundary."

  16. Ind 292-4published at 07:17 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2015

    Ravi Jadeja is the new man in at number six for India. But, it's MS Dhoni who gets in on the action as he clubs a full toss away over mid-wicket for six. The tunes are well and truly pumping on the Adelaide Oval sound system now and India like the sound of it.

    "Pakistan are fighting back. There's been dot balls, the runs have dried up and now they've got a wicket. They just need to hold their nerve now because if they limit India to 300, that doesn't faze players these days."

    Suresh Raina goes for another big swish in to the leg side and it's high in the air before Haris Sohail takes it calmly over his shoulder.

    "Pakistan have done fairly well, they could have been smashed for 350 because their bowling attack is not very good."
