Hardik Pandya to bowl his last over. Imad Wasim punches hard for a single to start the over. OUT! Shadab gets a double before an outside edge goes straight to Pant. Pakistan is making sure India stays in the hunt. 

Shadab Khan c Pant b Hardik Pandya 4(7)

Iftikhar Amhed gets off the mark with a single. Five off the over as Pakistan needs 30 off 3 overs. 

Axar Patel returns. Axar uses his pace to deceive batters and gives just two from this over. 

Jasprit Bumrah returns to the strike. Big over this. Bumrah to Rizwan, OUT! Bumrah comes, Bumrah strikes! India is back in the game and how? Rizwan goes on his knees and tries to dig out the yorker but misses. BOWLED! Rizwan departs after scoring 44-ball 31. 

Rizwan b Bumrah 31(44)

In comes the new batter Shadab Khan. Just three off this over. 

Arshdeep Singh with his third over. Rizwan starts the over with a single. Arshdeep to Imad, FOUR! Outside edge and lucky boundary for Imad this time. Two single fetches Pakistan eight from this over. 

Hardik Pandya returns. Rizwan gets a single off the first delivery. Hardik to Fakhar, OUT! It’s a big strike for India. Fakhar dances down the track but Hardik keeps the length short and holes out to keeper Pant. 

Fakhar Zaman c Pant b Hardik Pandya 13(8)

Imad Wasim is the new batter. Plays out the rest of the over, just one off this over. 

Arshdeep Singh comes back into the attack. Arshdeep to Fakhar, FOUR! A poor line from Arshdeep, dangling down the leg and Fakhar whips it late and fine to start over with a boundary. Decent recovery from Arshdeep who only gives two from the last five deliveries. 

Axar into the attack. Loud lbw appeal first ball, not given and Rohit goes upstairs. This one drifted in, and turned away just a bit to clip Usman’s back pad. OUT! This is hitting off-stump and Usman has to walk back. 

Fakhar Zaman is off the mark with a single with a sweep shot. One more for Rizwan as Axar drifts on the pads. SIX! Fakhar goes down the ground and this is a big hit. Maximum. 

Usman Khan lbw b Axar Patel 13 (15b 1x4)

Jadeja continues. Just a couple of runs off the first three balls. FOUR! Rizwan steps out and lofts this to the deep extra cover boundary to end the over. 

Hardik again. Usman is halfway down the pitch, and Hardik runs in to gather the ball and effect a run out at the bowler’s end. But there is a bit of a confusion with the batter and Hardik and he can’t collect the ball. 

FOUR! Slashed over cover by Usman and Pakistan finally finds a boundary. Tucked off the legs by Usman for two more. Pulled behind square for one more by Usman and that’s 50 up for Pakistan in 8.5 overs. Too full and one more for Rizwan to end the over. 

Ravindra Jadeja into the attack. A couple of singles off the first three balls. Four singles from the over. 

Siraj to bowl his third over. Driven to mid-off by Usman for a dot-ball. Beaten! Usman wants to cut from too close to the body and misses this one that nips back in a bit. Pulled to deep square-leg for a single by Usman. Some extra bounce and dabbed to deep third by Rizwan for one more. That seems to have gone off the glove again and more pain for Rizwan. Three singles to end the over. 

Hardik Pandya into the attack. Two dot balls to start the over as Hardik keeps it on the stumps. 

SIX! Rizwan clears the fence at wide long-off and gets a maximum. Rizwan is hit on the hand next ball and is getting some treatment from the physio. 

Usman Khan is off the mark with a quick single in the mid-on region. 

Bumrah again. Rizwan starts off with a single. FOUR! Babar picks up the length early and pulls this to the midwicket fence. 

OUT! Outside edge for Babar and taken in the slips. TV umpire checking if it was taken cleanly. Beaten! Usman Khan comes in and misses a drive outside off first ball. Beaten again as this is short of a length and it moves away to beat Usman Khan’s outside edge. 

Babar Azam c Suryakumar Yadav b Jasprit Bumrah 13 (10b 2x4)

DROPPED! Now Siraj drops Babar on 9 off his bowling but this was a tough chance. Tight over, just two runs from it, but Pakistan also isn’t looking to take too many chances early on. 

Jasprit Bumrah into the attack. Thick outside edge first ball and Rizwan collects a couple at backward point. Rizwan goes for a big swing on leg-side but gets an inside edge onto his foot. 

DROPPED! Dube has spilt this chance at fine-leg and Rizwan gets a reprieve on 7. Outside edge to deep third for Babar and he collects a single. 

Mohammed Siraj from the other end. FOUR! Beautiful on-drive by Babar and that’s the first boundary for Pakistan. 

Siraj beats Rizwan with an absolute beauty that opens up the batter as it straightens a touch. 

Rizwan defends this back to Siraj, and the bowler throws it back to the batter in an attempt to run him out. The ball ricochets off his shoulder and goes for a leg-bye. That hurt Rizwan and Siraj apologises immediately. 

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will start. Arshdeep Singh with the ball. Driven away through the covers for three runs. Three more for Babar next ball with a driven squarer of the wicket. Nine runs from the first over and Pakistan will be happy with that start. 

A poor outing with the bat for India. Losing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma put India on the backfoot right from the beginning. Even though Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant helped India get back on track but Pakistan controlled the scoring rate. A middle order collapse didn’t help either. 

Terrific performance by Pakistan’s pacers though. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took three wickets each, while Mohammed Amir (2) and Shaheen Afridi (1) too contributed three wickets combined. 

Afridi. Siraj plays the yorker with soft hands and steals a run. An overthrow gets India one more run! Siraj gets another double on the next ball towards cover. Another overthrow and another extra run added to India’s pocket! Siraj attempts a ramp shot but misses the ball. Another ramp, another miss. Pakistan has reviewed for caught behind. Nothing on ultraedge. Siraj is not out. OUT! Siraj hits towards mid off and calls for run. Arshdeep is late to respond. The throw reaches the keeper early and Arshdeep is runout. India is bowled out for 119. 

Haris. Short ball and Pandya slashes towards deep third and gets a boundary. A good shot to start the over. Another fine cut but a terrific fielding in the deep saves the boundary. Pandya takes two. OUT! Pandya picks the ball towards square leg and is caught in the deep. A good running catch. 

Hardik Pandya c Iftikhar Ahmed b Haris Rauf 7(12). Jasprit Bumrah at crease. OUT! First ball duck. Bumrah drives straight to cover. Siraj takes a single on his first ball. 

Amir continues. Length ball and Arshdeep swings his bat towards midwicket and gets a four. Superb shot that. Arshdeep is hit on the hand by a bouncer. The support staff runs in to attend him. He’s back after a brief break. Full ball and Arshdeep swings again towards leg side and gets a double. Arshdeep comes down the track and but misses the ball. Another swing and a miss. 

Naseem. Arshdeep is surviving somehow. He cuts the ball towards deep third and brings Pandya at the strike. Pandya gives him the strike back on next ball. Naseem tests Arshdeep with a short ball. Arshdeep takes a single on the last ball of the over. 100-up for India. 

Amir is back. OUT! Pant tries to hit straight and but doesn’t time the ball. A simple catch for the fielder at long off. India is in trouble. 

Pant c Babar Azam b Amir 42(31).

Ravindra Jadeja comes. And he goes, first ball! Chips the ball straight to short cover. A first ball duck. 

Arshdeep Singh to face the hat-trick ball. And he defends. He flicks the next ball towards square leg for a single. Pandya is happy to leave the ball to keeper. 

Naseem is back. OUT! Dube is gone too. Seam up and Dube just chips it straight back to the bowler. A forgettable innings for Dube. 

Dube c and b Naseem Shah 3(9). Hardik Pandya in at seven.

Defends his first ball. Charges down the track but isn’t able to find the gap between mid off and cover. Another dot. Down the leg wide. Well, turns out it is a frontfoot no ball. So a free hit. Pandya goes for a slog but misses. 

Imad for his third. Dube takes a single on the first ball and Pant gives gets him back on strike on the next ball. Imad is getting the ball to turn. Four runs from the over. 

Haris Rauf. An appeal for LBW on the first ball against SKY but the umpire isn’t interested. OUT! SKY chips straight to mid off. Fuller ball, SKY tries to go over the fielder but doesn’t time the ball at all. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Amir b Haris Rauf 7(8). Shivam Dube is the new man in.

The ball is still doing a bit here and there. Dube isn’t able to time the first three balls he has faced. He cuts and takes a single on the last ball of the over. Just one run from the over. 

Imad Wasim continues. Pant sweeps and takes a single. Imad comes around to SKY, ball drifts down the leg. SKY tucks for a single. Pant takes out the reverse sweep and hits the ball over short third for four! Comes down the track next and takes a single towards long on. SKY takes a single to end the over. 

Haris Rauf for the first time. Pant blocks the first delivery. FOUR! Pant goes inside out over covers, all the fielders are in the ring on the off side, an easy boundary. FOUR again! Finally, Pant gets his desired ramp over fine leg. Another FOUR! Pant uses the angle and sends it through fine leg. The fifth is a bouncer, Pant jabs it to third man for one run. Sky is beaten on the final.

Imad Wasim now. Starts with a wide outside off to Pant. CHANCE! Another edge for Pant on a slog sweep. Usman tries to get to it from deep square and goes for a one-handed attempt. Spills it! An outside edge for Sky for a single. Pant pulls the fifth to deep mid wicket for two. A single to long on.

Naseem for his second over. Pant gets a single through mid wicket off the first delivery. BOWLED HIM! Axar tries charge down the track and slog, gets nowhere near it and gets castled.

Axar Patel b Naseem 20 (18)

Suryakumar Yadav in now. FOUR! A handsome on-drive which dissects the mid on and mid off fielders.

Iftikhar Ahmed to bowl the next over. Axar cuts the second off his back foot for a run. Pant tries to ramp on the third but cannot. Another attempt to ramp, gets an inside edge onto his leg, another dot. The next is wide down leg. Pant walks down on the fifth and plays to long for one. FOUR! Axar lofts the final delivery down the ground.

Amir to Pant, edged and FOUR! Pant goes for an expansive drive, gets a thick edge but is too fast for the first slip fielder. DROPPED! A leading edge for Pant flies over covers. Usman Khan tracks it, gets under it but just fails to gather the ball by a whisker; three runs. Axar guides the fourth ball to third man for a single. FOUR again! Pant gets yet another edge which flies over the slip.

Shaheen to Axar, FOUR! An under-edge on an attempted cut runs away to the fence through third man. SIX! An upper cut from Axar after Shaheen goes for a bouncer. One run through covers on the third. Pant drives on the fourth but fails to clear the infield. MISSED! Pant gets an inside edge as the fifth jags back in, just misses the wickets, one run. Axar cuts the final delivery for two runs. 

A change in bowling. Mohammad Amir to bowl the next. Pant gets the first delivery through mid wicket, three runs. Axar beaten by away movement. A swing and miss again from Axar. A third miss on the bounce. A single to third man on the last ball.

Shaheen to Rohit, outside off stump and the batter defends. BEATEN! Rohit goes for a drive on length but the swing sees him miss. An edge but the ball dies down and carries to first slip on a bounce. OUT! Rohit picks the fielder at deep square leg. The Indian captain falls for the trap. It was on the pads and Rohit gets it off the toe end.

Rohit Sharma c Haris b Shaheen 13 (12)

Axar Patel is the new batter. A wide adds an extra for India.

Naseem Shah to bowl the second over. Kohli to take strike. FOUR! A sublime cover drive from Kohli to get off the mark. Kohli blocks the second delivery. GONE! It is wide enough to go for a cut, but Kohli picks the cover-point fielder. Pakistan has its first breakthrough.

Virat Kohli c Usman b Naseem 4 (3)

Rishabh Pant in at No. 3. Beaten! An outswinging delivery that leaves the edge. A 2 wides as Naseem strays down leg. FOUR! On the pads and Rohit chips it over fine leg with the angle. A single to deep third to end the over. 

Virat and Rohit are in the dugout at the boundary, shadow batting and gearing up for the resumption.

The live pictures show the covers are being removed off the centre. Pakistan players are also making their way to the field. The match will resume at 9:30pm IST.

The umpire are out on the field for an inspection. Though, still some time away from a restart. We’re roughly half-an-hour away before we start losing overs.

The rain has grown heavier in the last few minutes. Looks like this will be a long delay.

Afridi to Rohit, on the pads with a hint of swing and Rohit flicks it for two runs. The second is on fourth-stump line and Rohit blocks. SIX! Picks it up off his pads again, a bit more cross-batted but gets the job done, sending the ball over square leg. The fourth delivery is wider, stays low and Rohit lets it go. Rohit blocks the fifth delivery too. Thuds onto the pads, Rohit done by the swing but it gets a faint inside edge which saves him.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli enter the field of play. It will be Rohit on strike.
