  1. Pak 32-2published at 6.0 overs

    That wily intelligent nibbler of the seam Mohammed Shami is into the attack for India. However, his third ball is wide outside off stump and Shan Masood ruthlessly cuts him away for four.

    End of the powerplay.

    India well on top and the dynamic duo are well out. What a start this has been!

  3. Pak 24-2published at 5.0 overs

    Not half, Stuart. Pulsating stuff.

    Iftikhar Ahmed is up the order and joins Shan Masood at the crease hoping to steady a very rocky ship in choppy waters.

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar drops it short and Iftikhar delivers a response via a flat-batted slap through mid-on

    Rizwan c Kumar b Arshdeep 4 (Pak 15-2)

    Gone next ball! Arshdeep Singh bangs it in short and Mohammad Rizwan, his lips covered in white suncream, takes on the bumper.

    The crowd roar in expectation as the ball sails down to fine leg where Bhuvneshwar Kumar is stationed and he calmly pockets the catch.

    That got big on Rizwan who was done for pace.

  6. Pak 15-1published at 3.5 overs

    A leading edge from Mohammad Rizwan off Arshdeep Singh and Virat Kohli's dives full length to claim the catch, but it's a bump ball.

    Pressure building again on the Pakistan batters.

    Two boundaries to start the game for Pakistan. One for Masood and one for Rizwan.

  8. How's stat?!published at 09:20 British Summer Time 23 October 2022

    The teams have met 11 times in T20 internationals before this match.

    India have the upper hand having won seven while Pakistan have been victorious on three occasions with one no result. India have a 4-1 advantage in T20 World Cups.

    Their most recent meeting was in the Asia Cup in September, when Pakistan won by five wickets in the 'Super Four' stage of the tournament.

  9. Pak 10-0published at 3.0 overs

    If recent performances are anything to go by there's a lot pressure on a Pakistan middle order that have hardly scored buckets in recently.

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar again and he's gone full. Shan Masood digs him a yorker having survived an earlier lbw appeal.

    India are well on top here.

    If Kohli had have hit the stumps there you'd have heard the cheers in Mumbai.

    Kohli misses from five metres away and Pakistan have their first run off the bat, but only just.

  12. Pak 6-1published at 2.0 overs

    Arshdeep Singh made his debut against England in the summer and looked like he had something about him.

    A run out chance off his fifth ball as Shan Masood sets off for a quite ridiculous single, but Virat Kohli misses with his shy at the stumps. The Pakistan batter would have been well short.

    Mohammad Rizwan settles some nerves with a flick off his pads for four through fine leg.

    Phew, breathless start.

    Babar Azam is dismissed ball one! What a start for Arshdeep.

    Babar lbw b Arshdeep Singh 0 (Pak 1-1)

    That looked absolutely plumb, and was. Pakistan's captain is on his way.

    That was a review more in hope in expectation.

    Mayhem. Absolute mayhem.

    All the India fans think it is out...

  16. Pakistan reviewpublished at 09:08 British Summer Time 23 October 2022

    Arshdeep Singh present a beautiful seam position and it's swinging into the pads of Babar Azam and he misses it.

    Given out on the field, but the Pakistan captain has reviewed it.

    He might be one his way here.

  17. Postpublished at 09:07 British Summer Time 23 October 2022

    Young left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh will bowl the second over.

  18. Pak 1-0published at 1.0 overs

    A heave to Bhuvneshwar Kumar's fifth ball from Mohammad Rizwan but he is unable to connect. Next ball is a wide which allows Pakistan to get off the mark before another dot.

    Tense start.

  20. ouch!

    Pak 0-0published at 0.2 overs

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar's first ball is left alone by Mohammad Rizwan, but his second delivery climbs off the pitch and strikes the thumb of the Pakistan batter on his bottom hand as he looks to guide it down to third man.

    That hurt. The physio is on to administer some treatment.
