Drinks are on the field as the players take a breather. Pakistan have had a very poor start and half of their team has been sent back to the pavilion and they are a long way behind in the chase. None of the batters looked well settled on the pitch and could not build a strong partnership. India on the other hand has used the conditions to their strengths and managed to put their opposition on the back foot. Their bowlers are doing a fantastic job and taking timely wickets which is working to their advantage. Pakistan need a strong partnership now as Shadab Khan walks out to bat next.
