IND vs PAK Live Score: WICKET! India all out for 266!
Jasprit Bumrah is out at the score of 16 runs off 14 balls and that is the end of India's innings. They are all out for 266. The Rohit Sharma-led side started poorly but a 138-run stand between Hardik Pandya (87) and Ishan Kishan (82) gave it hope. However, India failed to finish off well as they looked good to reach somewhere close to 300, but they end at a low score.
Shaheen Afridi ends his spell of 10 overs with figures of 4 for 35. He bowled superbly at the start and followed it up really well. More two overs remaining in the game. India should look to get close to 280.
That's a lofted shot from Jasprit Bumrah for a four and it has come on the ball of Shaheen Afridi. Indai race to 250 with it. Bumrah takes a single on the next ball to get off the strike.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Consecutive wickets for Pak!
Shaheen Afridi dismissed Ravindra Jadeja on the last ball of the 44th over over while Naseem Shah has removed Shardul Thakur on the first ball of the 45th over.
Hardik Pandya is out at the score of 87 off 90 balls. India are faltering towards the end after doing really good in the middle overs. It was a well-disguised slower ball from Shaheen Afridi and Hardik was not expecting it. The Indian batter went for the drive early and handed an easy catch to Agha Salman at cover.
A powerful shot from Hardik Pandya on the off side and a misfield from point fielder will see the ball run away for a four. A total of 11 runs came off the Shadab Khan over. India's scoring rate is 5.64.
That's superb placement from Ravindra Jadeja. Shadab Khan bowled a short ball and Jadeja played it from the backfoot. He pierced the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on to perfection.
Hardik Pandya is on song! This is the third four of the over. It was a bouncer from Rauf and Hardik pulled it away for a four through the deep mid-wicket region.
This is superb batting from Hardik. This time he smartly guided the ball from the backfoot for a four. The third man was a bit wide and Hardik played it really fine for a four.
What a shot from Hardik Pandya! It was a short ball outside off stump from Haris Rauf and Hardik smashed it away for a four. "A tracer bullet," said Ravi Shastri on-air while praising the shot.
Ishan Kishan is out! This is big-big wicket for Pakistan. Haris Rauf is the man who provides Pakistan the crucial breakthrough. The 138-run partnership has been broken and Pakistan are back in the game. Ravindra Jadeja comes in as the next batter.
Hardik Pandya nails this slog sweep to perfection and the ball goes over the fence for a six. India are accelerating now. This is turning out to be a good over for them.
35.5 - That's good running from Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan. It was a misfield at covers and the duo used the opportunity to convert the single into a double.
A single and Hardik Pandya gets to his 11th ODI half-century with it. India are in complete control of the game now. Pakistan need a wicket to make a comeback.
A fuller ball from Agha Salman and Ishan Kishan has played a lap shot on it for a four. This is a brilliant change in intent from Kishan. India are back in the game as they are going really good now. However, the duo of Hardik and Kishan need to go deeper.
