    Kohli was halfway to the middle before KL Rahul had made it off the next cut strip.

    He's up for this.

    A handy breakthrough for Pakistan. They are into the game now. And out steps the big man, Virat Kohli.

    KL Rahul b Naseem Shah 4 (Ind 7-1)

    Played on!

    Galling for the opener as he inside-edges it into the timbers.

    But there is no hanging around here, Virat Kohli has raced out into the middle.

    RP Patel: India Vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup, Sunday morning, absolutely chucking it down outside, cup of coffee in hand, about to watch a successful run chase. Doesn’t get any better than this does it?

  5. Ind 5-0published at 1.1 overs

    Target 160

    Naseem's first ball slams into KL Rahul's pads, there is a strangled appeal but that was slipping down the leg side.

  6. Ind 5-0published at 1 over

    Target 160

    Rohit pushes through the covers for two to finish the opening over, and now we'll see Naseem Shah for the second.

  7. Ind 2-0published at 0.3 overs

    At last! Rohit Sharma clips a full bunger of his pads for a single.

  8. Ind 1-0published at 0.2 overs

    KL Rahul is off the mark with an inside edge through his legs to fine leg, and now we have a delay as there is something amiss behind the bowler's arm. Marais Erasmus is directing traffic - we could be a while here...

  9. Ind 0-0published at 0.1 overs

    An attempted yorker becomes a full toss that KL Rahul pats back just short of the bowler.

    I love the quick turnarounds in T20.

    Shaheen Shah Afridi is limbering up after that quickfire knock, and he's set to get going against KL Rahul.

    I think Pakistan will feel like they're in the game here. They have a strong line up, especially Shaheen Shah Afridi. They will need a good start from him.

    Asif Ali didn't last long, either.

    There was a bit of a clatter of wickets towards the end of the Pakistan innings...

    Cheers, Tim - that was sterling stuff amidst the mayhem. Go lie down in a darkened room.

    'It's all happening at the MCG' is a phrase we've often heard down the years and today is no different. And we've only had the one innings! Anything could happen - and probably will.

    Pakistan have a fighting chance, this is going to be fascinating.

    I need a well-earned cuppa to reflect on all that.

    I'll hand you over to the erudite and irascible Tim Oscroft to guide you through the India chase.

    They must be favourites. Do Pakistan have a chance here, Tim?

    India's bowler Arshdeep Singh: "I guess I just wanted to enjoy the moment. It will never come again and I wanted to have fun.

    "The plan was to hit the square leg. The boundaries were big and we wanted to use it to get wickets.

    "We came with no expectations on the wicket so anything we got was an extra.

    "We back ourselves to chase this total."

  18. Pak 159-8published at 20.0 overs

    A wild last over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

    Wide, single, wicket, six, dot, dot then two scrambled byes after some overthrows by Bhuvneshwar to finish.

    India need 160 to win. Phew, take a breath.

    How about that! First ball for Rauf and he puts it over the rope.

    Wowzers! Haris Rauf - no hanging around, he clunks his first ball deep over square leg for six!
