Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, 2 runs

another mishit! Into the wicket and slow with the angle going away, toe-ended it to mid-on and there is a two in it

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, 2 runs

in the airrrr, put down but very tough! Short slower delivery, the plan to do away with the yorker has worked well so far. Shaheen toe-ends the slog. Tilak ran in at great pace and dived full length forward, in fact he overran so it cleared the hands and hit him on the arm

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, no run

short, slow, angling away, Shaheen slogs and misses

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, SIX

this is sailing into the stands as well. He's hit four sixes now. It's a low full toss as Hardik missed the yorker, Shaheen got under it and smacked it over long-on

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, SIX

his hitting on one knee down on the pitch has been sublime today. Full delivery angling away, in the slot and Shaheen muscles it over long-on

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, no run

Shaheen wants to hit it out of Dubai but Hardik outsmarts him with a good slower ball

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, out Bowled!! He walked right past the stumps and missed this yorker. Tried to help it away fine to past short fine leg but he missed the line

the pace of Bumrah taking it past the bat and hitting base of middle and leg. Bumrah finishes with two wickets but he won't be happy about those two fours.

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, no run

yorker angling in, Muqeem tries to dig it out but misses the ball completely

Bumrah to Shaheen Afridi, 1 run

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, FOUR

oh this is even better! Short delivery outside off stump, Muqeem backs away and cuts handsomely over backward point for a brilliantly-timed boundary

mid-off up and that's a fine shot from Muqeem. Fullish delivery from Bumrah, Muqeem backs away and drives to the left of mid-off

Bumrah to Shaheen Afridi, 1 run

fullish delivery on the stumps, Muqeem manages to knock it to long-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, out Lbw!! Too full to sweep

definitely even tougher for the reverse sweep. It's fast and full from Varun for you miss, I hit. Faheem wanted a boundary behind point, missed it. Impact in line with middle stump and smashing leg stump, according to ball-tracker.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shaheen Afridi, 1 run

round the wicket now from Varun, Shaheen tries to slog, mistimes to long-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shaheen Afridi, SIX

this is really smart from Shaheen. He knew Varun is mainly trying to spin it across him, so backed away to free his arms for a slap over wide long-off and he backed himself to clear the man in the deep. Some response that!

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shaheen Afridi, no run

tries to read it off the pitch but gets comprehensively beaten. Shaheen then wears an "Oh how do I play that look with a smile". Varun stayed over the wicket to slant this across the left-hander and got it to spin away

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, no run

back over the wicket to Faheem Ashraf, who calmly defends this googly to play out Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, no run

almost through him, managed to get an inside edge to the on-side

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, SIX

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, no run

googly from Kuldeep Yadav, Shaheen pushes it to cover

Kuldeep Yadav to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! This is high

taken nicely by Hardik. Great fielding but let's first talk about Kuldeep's shrewd bowling. He knew Farhan was itching to take him on so he pushed this full and wide of off to make the batter fetch the shot. Farhan didn't hold back, he thought he could have a big piece of this googly but only met with the bottom of the bat. Hardik was moving swiftly to the left from long-on, took it overhead and ensured the momentum wasn't taking him to the ropes.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, no run

he had no clue there! Switched to over the wicket line for the LHB and got this to spin away sharply. Faheem lost balance on the defence as he failed to read the variation, missed the bat by a distance and threatened the off stick too

Varun Chakaravarthy to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

teasing full delivery, too full so Farhan couldn't exactly get under it for a big hit, played that flat and hard to long-off

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, 3 runs

Faheem tries the slog-sweep, ball seems to have gone off the pad. Off the edge says the ump, cut off at fine leg

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, no run

flatter delivery on the off stump, Faheem defends off the back foot. Sanju talking to Varun in Tamil, asking to bowl a particular ball

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, no run

oh he leaves this ball outside off stump. Interesting!

Varun Chakaravarthy to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

oh almost through him! Quicker delivery that rushed the batter, inside edge rolls to short fine leg

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR

smashed over extra cover! Half-tracker outside off, rare from Kuldeep and Ashraf makes room to slap it away. Nearly a six off the back foot, but it goes on the bounce

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, no run

googly outside off, he tries the reverse-sweep again but misses

pulled hard but straight to deep midwicket

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, no run

tossed up and drifting in on leg, full ball, Ashraf pushes it to short cover

Axar to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run

Axar to Sahibzada Farhan, no run

Farhan reviews after being given out LBW! Seemed to be going down leg. Sharp in-drift from round the wicket, slides in with the arm as well and goes past the inside edge in defence. It's missing leg stump easily, another wrong decision on the field

Axar to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run

tossed up outside off, driven to sweeper cover

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run

oh should he have gone with the googly? Tossed up on off, it's the legbreak, Ashraf gets forward to defend and drags it off a thick inside edge behind square

Kuldeep Yadav to Nawaz, out Lbw!! Again the finger goes up from Masudur Rahman. Has he got it right this time? We'll find out soon enough as Nawaz has reviewed. Googly turning in from off

he doesn't pick it and is trapped in the crease. And yes, ball-tracking confirms that it would've crashed into leg stump. Three reds and a golden duck for Nawaz. Kuldeep on a hattrick!

Kuldeep Yadav to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Axar!! The dropped catch doesn't prove costly as Kuldeep gets him the very next ball. Tossed up on the stumps

Nawaz goes for a big slog-sweep but only manages a thick top-edge. Goes straight up and Axar tracks it down from his position at slip.

Kuldeep Yadav to Hasan Nawaz, no run

dropped! Kuldeep flew to his right, got both hands to it but couldn't hold on. Googly across off, holds on Nawaz as he tries punching off the back foot and he's early through the shot. Mistimes it in the air wide of Kuldeep. Difficult chance and down it goes

Abhishek Sharma to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

tossed up at 82kph, lands in the blockhole on off and Farhan squeezes it to long-off

Axar to Salman Agha, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! This is such good bowling from Axar who pumps his fists after getting his man. Slower through the air outside off

85kph, lands on a length and it kicks up on Salman as he goes for the sweep shot. It goes in the air off a thick top-edge and Abhishek takes a comfortable catch at the square leg boundary. India fully in control at the halfway stage.

Axar to Salman Agha, no run

good length ball sliding in on off, punched back to Axar

Axar to Salman Agha, 2 runs

this time he gets it away past backward point. Short outside off, Salman has enough time on the back foot to place it in the gap as he cuts again. But the ball slows down in the deep, allowing sweeper cover to get across and cut it off

back of a length on off, again he cuts but fails to beat backward point

Axar to Salman Agha, no run

Varun Chakaravarthy to Salman Agha, no run

beaten! The legbreak with a fair bit of overspin outside off, Salman looks to drive, doesn't pick it and it goes past the outside edge

Varun Chakaravarthy to Salman Agha, no run

appeal for LBW and it doesn't take long for the umpire to raise his finger. Salman has decided to go for the review. It's a googly on middle and leg, he tries to go for the paddle-scoop but misses completely. However, ball-tracking confirms the initial suspicion that it was easily missing leg stump because of the turn

Varun Chakaravarthy to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

pushed through flat on off, good length ball, Farhan punches from the back foot to long-off

Axar to Salman Agha, no run

oh he plays a late-dab from the line of off stump to short third

tight line and length just outside off, dabbed to short third

Axar to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Fakhar does try to take the match-up on but he perishes! He had to go after the left-arm spinner at this stage. Comes dancing down the track for a big hit

Goes flat towards Hardik who charges in and then decides to stop in his tracks to collect it on the bounce. He reckoned that he wasn't going to get to it

Kuldeep Yadav to Fakhar Zaman, no run

86kph, good length ball just outside off, not much turn, Fakhar waits in the crease and dabs it to backward point

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, no run

beaten on the pull! Short ball angling down leg, he goes hard at but doesn't connect. India's appeal for caught behind is turned down

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, no run

brilliant yorker that misses off stump by a whisker! Speared in just outside off, Farhan is late on it, sneaks through him and takes some paint off the popping crease. Oh the third umpire has been asked to check for a possible edge. An umpire's review from the looks of it. Not sure if there was an edge, but even if there was, it bounced into the pitch before going to the keeper

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, 2 runs

miscued in the air but safe! This time Bumrah rushes him on the pull shot. Short of length delivery at a greater pace, Farhan is late on it, splices it over midwicket and gets away with it

short of length delivery just outside off, pace off, he steers it to backward point

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX

that's some shot against Bumrah! Good length ball angled in, Farhan sets himself up nicely in the crease, keeps a steady base and launches it through the line. He has nailed it into the crowd over wide long-on. If that doesn't get him going, nothing will

nearly chopped on! Width outside off, back of a length, Fakhar goes hard on the cut but it's a risky shot on this surface that's on the slower side. Drags it off a thick under-edge past leg stump

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR

loose delivery and punished! Low full toss swinging into the pads, all Fakhar has to do is make decent contact and he does so, flicking it through midwicket

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 3 wides

down the leg-side, nips in further and makes it very difficult for Samson. He only gets fingertips as he dives full stretch to the right

struck on the thigh pad! Back of a length down leg, nips back in as Fakhar looks to clip it through the on-side and he's beaten on the inside edge

short of length at the body, just below shoulder height, Fakhar gets on top of it and pulls behind square

back to the outswinger again, shaping away off a length, Fakhar bunts it wide of mid-off and gets off strike

Bumrah to Fakhar Zaman, no run

Fakhar goes up quickly for the review after being given out LBW! It's a cracking inswinging yorker that strikes him on the boot but it seemed leg-sidish in real time. Yep, ball-tracking confirms the impact is outside leg. But what a ball. Previous delivery beat him on the outside edge, now he brings it back in with immaculate precision to hit the boot

Bumrah to Fakhar Zaman, no run

beaten on the edge! Beautiful outswinger from over the wicket, goes away sharply from Fakhar as he looks to defend and he fails to get bat on it

Bumrah to Mohammad Haris, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! The aggressive approach from Haris hasn't lasted too long. Of the five balls he played

three were attempted slogs and this third one has gone to hand. Back of a length around off, looks to heave it through the on-side, gets a thick top-edge as it climbs on him and Hardik makes this look easy. It went a long way up behind square and he had to cover a lot of ground. Moves in smartly from long leg and hangs on with both hands.

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

finds the edge with his first ball! Good length outside off, shaping away, Farhan pokes loosely and gets a thick edge past slip to third man

Hardik Pandya to Mohammad Haris, 2 runs

full ball swinging away from off, defended to cover

Hardik Pandya to Mohammad Haris, no run

swing and a miss! Good length ball in the channel, swinging away, Haris looks to tonk it across the line over midwicket but fails to get any bat. The ball seemed to hold in the surface and he was very early through the shot

Hardik Pandya to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run

fuller than a good length outside off, outswinger, Farhan looks to drive and mistimes it to cover

Hardik Pandya to Mohammad Haris, 1 run

short of length outside off, shaping away, Haris cuts it down to third man

Hardik Pandya to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Bumrah!! Straight to point from Ayub and Hardik strikes with his first legitimate delivery. He bowled the inswinger before this that went down the leg-side

now follows it up with the outswinger and Ayub can't help but go chasing. Back of a length outside off, shaping away, he punches on the up and it's straight to Bumrah at point. What is he doing there? But he takes it safely anyway.

Hardik Pandya to Saim Ayub, wide

Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX

SKY ends this on a high. It's on a length just outside off, Suryakumar Yadav with a massive slogsweep as he gets forward and sends the ball flying into the stands at deep mid-wicket. India win this in a clinical fashion

Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav, no run

very full on middle, Suryakumar Yadav gets forward to drive and the thick inside-edge finds short fine

Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav, no run

this is a lot closer and only umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge's original decision saves SKY. This is pretty full on leg-stump, pitches in line and Suryakumar Yadav misses the sweep, but it's just clipping, and that won't do for Pakistan

Sufiyan Muqeem to Shivam Dube, 1 run

good length outside off, Shivam Dube goes on the back foot and cuts to sweeper cover

Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav, 1 run

flat good length on middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav goes on the back foot and whips it to deep mid-wicket

Saim Ayub to Shivam Dube, no run

flat good length outside off, Shivam Dube goes on the back foot and cuts to backward point

Saim Ayub to Tilak Varma, out Bowled!! Ripper and even Tilak Varma is surprised. This is quicker off-break on middle

pitches and turns quickly, Tilak goes on the back foot to play that and the amount of turn defeats him, pegs the off-stump back. It drifted in nicely and till then it was fine for Tilak, but once it pitched, it spun and that too quickly. Saim Ayub has his third. Tilak has a surprised look at where the ball pitched after he was bowled.

Saim Ayub to Tilak Varma, no run

tossed up full on middle, Tilak Varma gets forward to flick to mid-wicket

Nawaz to Suryakumar Yadav, no run

bad review that is from Pakistan but shows their desperation. Suryakumar Yadav got well outside off, misses the sweep, the ball was close to the glove but missed it, the impact is ump's call and it's turning away to miss off-stump by quite a margin, Pakistan burn a review

Nawaz to Tilak Varma, 1 run

fired full on the pads, Tilak Varma gets forward to flick to deep mid-wicket

Nawaz to Tilak Varma, no run

dropped by Nawaz. Three attempts at it and yet he drops it. Even had a go at the fourth attempt. The back foot punch to a length delivery and it's an easy catch for Nawaz who reverse-cups and it spills out, has another two attempts and still drops it. Suryakumar Yadav was close to Nawaz too and that made it slightly difficult for him, but still should have been taken. Tilak has a wry smile on his face, while Nawaz curses himself
