Mohammad Nawaz strides out to the centre. Can he and Shadab Khan bail Pakistan out of trouble?
33.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! CASTLED! Jasprit Bumrah outfoxes Mohammad Rizwan with a change of pace and it’s all going downhill for Pakistan! Bumrah steams in and goes a touch wider of the crease before rolling his fingers over the ball and delivering an off-cutter. This is bowled on a fullish length around off and just like a quick off-break, the ball comes back in sharply. Rizwan is drawn forward but is undone completely and the ball beats the inside edge to hit the top of the off stump. Rizwan now departs for 49 and Pakistan are 6 down in a jiffy.
33.5 overs (1 Run) Full and wide outside off, Shadab Khan opens the bat face and drives it square to deep cover-point for one.

33.2 overs (0 Run) A touch fuller and attacking middle, Mohammad Rizwan stays in his crease and tucks it to mid-wicket. The crowd has once again found its voice.
33.1 overs (0 Run) Hard length around off and angling in, Mohammad Rizwan covers the line well and blocks it out.
Shadab Khan is the new man in with Pakistan struggling at 166-5. Also, a change in bowling as Rohit Sharma brings Jasprit Bumrah back into the attack.
32.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! TIMBER! Bowled around the legs and Iftikhar Ahmed cannot believe it! Kuldeep Yadav bowls the googly now and floats it up full and down leg, looking for the magical spin. Kuldeep doesn’t quite get the turn but forces Iftikhar Ahmed into playing the sweep shot. Iftikhar plays all over it and ends up getting it off the gloves and back onto the stumps. A double-strike from Kuldeep Yadav and Pakistan in a spot of bother here.
32.5 overs (0 Run) Pushed through quicker, on a nagging length and around off, Iftikhar Ahmed is late to get on the back foot but manages to keep it out.
32.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Intent right away from Iftikhar Ahmed! A genuine half-tracker from Kuldeep Yadav, turning in from around off. Ahmed rocks back and muscles the pull shot away in front of deep mid-wicket for a boundary.
32.3 overs (0 Run) Nagging length once again on middle, Iftikhar Ahmed tentatively defends it out.
Iftikhar Ahmed walks in at number 6 for Pakistan.
32.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! LBW! Terrific review and Kuldeep Yadav gets his first wicket of the game. A loud appeal for LBW but it is turned down by the umpire. The keeper KL Rahul seems unsure though but Rohit Sharma does go upstairs. This is floated up on a length and drifted onto the leg stump. It turns towards the line of the stumps from there as Saud Shakeel gets caught on the back foot and is hit on the pads. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the ball did skid on but turned a bit as well. Three reds. Pakistan getting a bit bogged down now as the crowd roars!
32.1 overs (0 Run) Slower through the air, on a shortish length and around off, Saud Shakeel pats it away to silly mid off.

31.3 overs (0 Run) Back of a length outside off, tapped away on the bounce to point.
31.2 overs (0 Run) Hard length, closer to the off pole and slanting away, Saud Shakeel stays tentative and looks to play it square but is beaten on the outside edge.
31.1 overs (2 Runs) Good, positive running! Pitched up outside off, angling it across, Saud Shakeel looks to drive it away but gets it off the outer half of the bat to the left of the man at third man and gets back for the second with ease.
Drinks break! Just when Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were beginning to change gears, the former departed which has put Pakistan in a tricky position. With Mohammad Rizwan at the other end, Saud Shakeel cannot afford to take much time and will have to get going quickly. As far as India are concerned, the previous pair was starting to trouble them before Mohammed Siraj provided them with a timely wickeṭ. They will now look to squeeze in a couple of quiet overs and put the pressure back on Pakistan. An interesting phase of the game coming up…
30.6 overs (0 Run) On the shorter side and outside off, Mohammad Rizwan rocks onto the back foot but can’t quite get the punch away through extra cover. Just the single then off that over.
