Jim Dale: Shaheen Afridi is only 22 but he already feels like a legend of the game. Some great hitting in this game against India and I can't wait to see him bowl.

Shaheen Shah Afridi c & b Kumar 16 (Pak 151-8)
A soft end to a fine cameo from Shaheen Shah Afridi.
He attempts to go big but can only spoon a Bhuvneshwar Kumar slower ball back intto the hands of the bowler. A tame end to his eight-ball knock.
Final over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl it.

Afridi says I'm having some of that.
Another boundary.
This time it is more orthodox from Shaheen Shah Afridi as he digs out a full ball from Arshdeep Singh and manages to biff it down the ground for four.

This is brilliant from Afridi. He's proving himself with the bat here. Turning into a very good cricketer.
Shaheen Shah Afridi has the Pakistan fans on their feet after clearing the ropes. He uses his big arc and baseball-esque wallops Arshdeep Singh down town for a big six.

Shan Masood, it's a hell of a night. The single run gives him a chance to raise his bat as he reaches 50.
On to the back foot and cut to backaward point brings up a half-century for Shan Masood. 50 off 40 balls and a valuable knock for Pakistan.

These next 12 balls are crucial for both teams here.

Okay, two overs to go. Arshdeep Singh will bowl the penultimate six balls.

A boundary off a thick outside edge for Masood. You make your own luck.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is the new batter.
It will be a matter of what Shan Masood can eke out with their lower order here. He backs away to the second ball of Mohammed Shami's latest over and a thick edge scampers away through third man for four.
He's up to 44 now.

Pakistan are being bowled out here. Afridi only has 19 runs in this format.
Asif Ali c †Karthik b Arshdeep Singh 2 (Pak 120-7)
Arshdeep Singh into the attack and he's delivered for his captain with the wicket of Asif Ali. The Pakistan batter is done for pace by a brute of a short ball from Arshdeep and ends up fending it, attempting to back away, into the gloves of Dinesh Karthik.
After Pakistan threatend, India are finishing strongly here.
Iftikhar Ahmed's innings ended by some fine bowling by Mohammed Shami a little while ago.
Nawaz c †Karthik b Pandya 9 (Pak 115-6)
Not a moment's respite for the furious typing fingers of a live text commentator in this thrilling context.
Mohammad Nawaz had just lofted the ball over the in field to get himself another four off Hardik Pandya, but is out quite tamely next ball.
He's back trying to cut Hardik but it brushes his glove on the way through and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik clasps it eagerly into his gloves.
