There might be dew but the ball has constantly been flying through the air so it might just have been drying itself off!

Target 192
India might just drop into cruise control to get this game over the line now.
India wicketkeeper KL Rahul is the new batter both he and Shreyas Iyer more than happy to prod Mohammad Nawaz down the ground for singles.
31 needed for victory now.

It was a cutter from Shaheen Afridi.

Sharma c Iftikhar b Shaheen Afridi 86 (Ind 156-3)
No century for Rohit Sharma, and a bit of a tame ending to what has been a brilliant innings from the India skipper.
Shaheen Afridi draws a miscued toe-ended chip from Rohit with an off cutter and Iftikhar Ahmed at mid-wicket takes a dolly of a catch.

Former Pakistan fast bowler on Test Match SpecialPakistan are going through the motions. They've not really had any answers to this India batting from the very first ball.
Ind 155-2published at 21 overs
Rohit Sharma cuts Mohammad Nawaz and more slipshod fielding from Pakistan in the field.
Imam-ul-Haq is the offender this time as he slides and then somehow contrives to fold the boundary sponge over the ball to hand Rohit another four.
The India captain has 85 now.

Ind 148-2published at 20.1 overs
Shreyas Iyer is keen to get this game done.
The India batter is fleet of foot as he skips down the pitch to Mohammad Nawaz. Another huge swing of his blade and the ball disappears over the head of long-off and into the stands again.
This is turning into a cakewalk for India now.

Former Pakistan fast bowler on Test Match SpecialWhat a shot! A full toss from Shadab and Rohit hits it way over mid-wicket.
They're not only hitting sixes, these are massive sixes.
What is happening?!

BBC Test Match Special commentatorThat is a gimme and Rohit was not going to miss out.
Ind 142-2published at 20 overs
A bit of an ugly bottom-handed hack across the line from Rohit Sharma, in contrast to the velvet smooth drives we've seen from him so far, gives him two off Shadab Khan.
The India captain is much more authoritative off the last two balls of the over, though.
He sweeps Shadab for four, and then belts a full toss 93 metres in the stands over mid-wicket for six.
Pakistan are going to pieces.

Rohit Sharma has been imperious again.
Here are the best shots from his half-century.

Ind 129-2published at 19 overs
Pakistan did not manage to hit a single six in their innings, and particularly got bogged down against the spinners.
India's batters have that self assurance to be a little more expansive, however.
Mohammad Nawaz manages to contain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer to three dots and and three singles.

Former Pakistan fast bowler on Test Match SpecialSuch a clean strike from Shreyas Iyer and no risk involved. That went 91m!
Ind 125-2published at 18 overs
Shreyas Iyer plants his front foot down the pitch, and wallops Shadab Khan back over his head for huge six.
A deliciously clean strike of a cricket ball.
