India vs Pakistan World Cup LIVE: PAK 187/9; Jadeja removes Hasan as Pakistan continue to crumble

17:13 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

Two in two for India! Two in two for Pakistan (in a way)! Shaheen Shah Afridi goes for a big hit and skies it. Jadeja strikes. Shubman Gill with a simple take. From 155/2, Pakistan are now 187/9 in dire position

17:12 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

Another one departs for Pakistan! The collapse continues. Mohammad Nawaz sends the ball straight to Bumrah at long on. Pandya strikes and Pakistan go seven down now! That was a nothing shot and Bumrah does well to hang on to the low ball

17:05 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 37 overs,Pakistan 174/7 ( Mohammad Nawaz 3 , Hasan Ali 2)

Kuldeep Yadav bowls out his final over, conceding a single each to Hasan and Nawaz and closing out with figures of 2/35. Pakistan, meanwhile, will need a cameo — preferrably from all-rounder Nawaz — if they are to post a competitive total from here.

17:03 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 36 overs,Pakistan 172/7 ( Mohammad Nawaz 2 , Hasan Ali 1)

The Pakistani batting starts going into the tail now with Hasan Ali joining Mohammad Nawaz at the centre after the carnage in the recent overs. Two runs and a wicket from Bumrah's sixth over, with the pace spearhead having conceded just 18 runs for his two wickets so far today.

16:54 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

BOWLED! Bumrah hadn't had a wicket so far today, and now he suddenly has two in as many overs! While he deceived Rizwan with a slower ball, he decides to bowl full throttle at Shadab and beat him for pace. Once again the ball marginally clips the top of off, dislodging the bail. Pakistan have lost five wickets for just 16 runs! PAK 171/7

Shadab b Bumrah 2(5)

16:50 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

BOWLED! What a turnaround this has been for India, with Pakistan losing four wickets for just 14 runs! Bumrah it is this time who finally gets his name added to the wickets column, deceiving Rizwan with an off-cutter — the ball beating the inside edge and hitting the off stump. Rizwan, who has been in red-hot form of late, departs just one short of a half-century as Pakistan lose their sixth! PAK 168/6 in 34

Rizwan b Bumrah 49(69)

16:41 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

BOWLED! What an over this turned out for be from Kuldeep Yadav, with the left-arm chinaman bowler getting two wickets in a space of five deliveries! Iftikhar attemps a sweep after gettting off the mark with a boundary, but is foxed by a googly. Ends up getting a deflection onto the stumps off his glove! PAK 166/5 in 33

Iftikhar b Kuldeep 4(4)

16:39 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! What a start for Iftikhar Ahmed as he gets on the backfoot and pulls Kuldeep in front of square to get off the mark with a boundary! PAK 166/5

16:34 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

OUT! Kuldeep strikes, as India collect a couple of wickets in quick succession! Shakeel has to march back to the dressing room for just 6! Shakeel was nowhere close to the line of the delivery while defending on the backfoot, although umpire Marais Erasmus initially rules it in favour of the batter. Rohit opts for the review, and gets three reds with the ball shown to be hitting leg on HawkEye. PAK 162/4

Shakeel LBW Kuldeep 6(10)

16:26 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 31 overs,Pakistan 157/3 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 47 , Saud Shakeel 2)

Saud Shakeel joins Rizwan after Siraj’s dismissal of Babar. And he’s nearly run out first ball while attempting to get off strike right away. Siraj scoops up the ball in a flash after his follow through and has a shy at the non-striker’s end, with the ball narrowly missing the poles. Kuldeep continues from the other end and concedes just one from his seventh over. Second drinks break called by the umpire at the end of the 31st.

16:21 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

BOWLED! Mohammad Siraj with the breakthrough as Babar Azam gets cleaned up by the pacer right after bringing up his half-century! Was attempting to play a late cut, but was beaten for pace, with the ball clipping the off stump. The solid third-wicket partnership has finally been broken! PAK 155/3

Babar b Siraj 50(58)

16:18 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 29 overs,Pakistan 150/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 50 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 43)

FOUR! Pakistan captain Babar Azam brings up his 29th ODI half-century in style! Promptly dispatches a full toss outside off from Kuldeep in front of square, towards the vacant cover fence. Takes 57 deliveries to reach the milestone, collecting seven fours along the way.

16:15 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 28 overs,Pakistan 144/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 45 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 42)

Expensive over from Siraj after he returns to the attack in the 28th over, conceding 13 runs including a boundary each to Babar and Rizwan. Babar goes for an aerial flick through midwicket in the third delivery that is ultimately out of reach for Pandya. Rizwan the drives straight down the ground in the final delivery, and neither mid off nor mid on moves a muscle!

16:08 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 27 overs,Pakistan 131/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 37 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 37)

Rizwan collects a brace via a top-edge while attempting to sweep Jadeja, with the ball running towards fine leg, giving him enough time to return for a second. Kuldeep keeps things tidy in the following over by conceding just a couple of singles. Both Babar and Rizwan are batting on 37 at the end of this over.

16:06 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 25 overs,Pakistan 125/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 35 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 33)

Big appeal for LBW against Babar off Kuldeep’s bowling, and Rohit goes for the review after quick chat. The ball didn’t get much turn after pitching along leg, and Babar misses while attempting a sweep and is hit right in front of the stumps. Whether the ball was pitching in line or not was a big doubt, but HawkEye shows a red on that parameter. It is however in the ‘Wickets’ parameter where the decision ultimately goes in favour of the batter, with the ball shown to be clipping leg. Just two singles from Kuldeep’s fourth over, with Pakistan reaching 125/2 at the halfway stage. The position that they find themselves in at the moment, Pakistan will surely be targetting 300 or more.

15:57 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 24 overs,Pakistan 123/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 34 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 32)

Fifty of the partnership comes up between Babar and Rizwan, the latter bringing up the milestone with a single off Jadeja off the final delivery of the 24th over. Both batters are in the 30s right now, and will hope to convert their starts into something substantial from here and guide Pakistan towards a winning total in the process.

15:52 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! Cheeky from Rizwan, as he gets down on one knee and scoops the delivery towards the fine leg fence off Kuldeep's bowling. PAK 119/2

15:48 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 22 overs,Pakistan 114/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 32 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 25)

FOUR! FOUR! Jadeja, who has been fairly tidy so far today, is smacked for back-to-back boundaries by Rizwan, who's starting to get into the groove now and is  starting to catch up with Babar. The first one's an under-edge that goes through Rahul's legs and away to the long stop boundary. The Pakistan keeper-bat follows it up with a well-directed sweep in front of square. Nine off the left-arm spinner's fifth over.
 

Kuldeep, meanwhile, had returned to the attack in the previous over, with Rohit opting for spin from both ends for the first time.

15:45 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 20 overs,Pakistan 103/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 30 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 16)

Babar brings up the 100 for Pakistan with a crisp drive through extra cover off Thakur for a four. He later moves to 30 with a single. Just one off Jadeja’s fourth over of the day, with the left-arm spinner having conceded 13 runs so far today. Decent little partnership starting to build between Pakistan’s star batters at the moment, worth 30 at the end of the 20th over.

15:43 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! Quintessential Babar drive through the extra cover region! The Pakistan captain's gone through a rough patch of late, but appears to be regaining form against India today. PAK 100/2

15:37 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 18 overs,Pakistan 96/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 25 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 14)

FOUR! Slightly short from Jadeja outside off, Rizwan gets on the backfoot and cuts the ball firmly through point! That's two boundaries in two overs for the Pakistanis. 12 from the last two overs.

15:34 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! A boundary first ball for Shardul Thakur, after the all-rounder replaces Pandya in the attack! Babar welcomes him with an exquisite drive past mid on. PAK 88/2
 

15:28 (IST)

After 16 overs,Pakistan 84/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 19 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 8)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

Pandya bowls five dots on the bounce in his fourth over, before Rizwan flicks a full delivery through the midwicket region off the last ball to prevent him from collecting a maiden. Jadeja restricts Babar and Rizwan to singles in the following over, with five of them coming in the over.

15:23 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 14 overs,Pakistan 75/2 ( Babar Azam (C) 16 , Mohammad Rizwan (W) 2)

Ravindra Jadeja nearly has a wicket in his first over after replacing Kuldeep Yadav in the attack. Appeals successfully for LBW against new batter Rizwan in his second delivery of the day. Rizwan went for a sweep, and missed it. The ball though, held its line and looked like it was marginally missing the leg stump, though the umpire raised his finger right away. Rizwan went for the review, and sure enough got ‘Missing’ on stumps on HawkEye. One run off the over, and players will take drinks at the end of the 14th.

15:13 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

OUT! Pandya strikes, as Imam departs after getting off to a postive start! Hint of away movement after pitching full, and Imam ends up getting a thick outside edge while attempting a flashy drive. Excellent catch by Rahul behind the stumps diving to his left. PAK 73/2

Imam c Rahul b Pandya 36(38)

15:07 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 12 overs,Pakistan 68/1 ( Imam-ul-Haq 32 , Babar Azam (C) 15)

Expensive over from Pandya with 11 coming off his second, including back-to-back fours to Pakistan captain Babar. Rohit, meanwhile, decides to take Siraj off from the other end after a five-over opening spell, bringing in left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep concedes four in the first five deliveries, including a brace to Imam in the fourth delivery before Imam collects a boundary off the final delivery after guiding the ball that is pitched along leg towards the fine leg fence.

15:02 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! FOUR! Back-to-back fours for the Pakistan captain! Pandya tries the short-ball strategy against Babar, but the latter responds with an impressive pull in the penultimate delivery in front of square. Pandya fires the next one down leg, and Babar directs it towards the fine leg fence, where Kuldeep puts in a slide in vain. PAK 60/1 after 11

14:58 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 10 overs,Pakistan 49/1 ( Imam-ul-Haq 23 , Babar Azam (C) 5)

Siraj continues from the other end, and concedes just a single in his fifth over as Pakistan reach 49/1 at the end of the first powerplay. The Men in Green started off on a positive note with a flurry of boundaries, but a good comeback from the Indian new-ball attack helps bring Pakistan’s run rate down a tad.

14:54 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 9 overs,Pakistan 48/1 ( Imam-ul-Haq 22 , Babar Azam (C) 5)

First bowling change of the innings, with Hardik Pandya replacing Bumrah in the attack. FOUR! After conceding three singles in the first five deliveries, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam collects his first boundary with a clip towards fine leg off a loosener from the all-rounder.

14:51 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 8 overs,Pakistan 41/1 ( Imam-ul-Haq 20 , Babar Azam (C) 0)

Excellent fourth over from Siraj, in which the pacer concedes four singles in the first five deliveries before trapping Shafique leg-before for 20. The partnership has been broken just short of the fifty-mark inside the first powerplay, and Team India will be looking to capitalise on the sudden shift in momentum.

14:47 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

OUT! Siraj draws first blood for India as Shafique departs after getting off to a positive start! This was as plumb an LBW decision as it can get! Shafique is late to bring his bat down, and ends up getting hit on the pads right in front of off and middle. PAK 41/1

Shafique LBW Siraj 20(24)

14:38 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 7 overs,Pakistan 37/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 18 , Imam-ul-Haq 18)

FOUR! Tucked away towards fine leg off a short-of-length ball from Bumrah at the end of the pacer’s fourth over. Long leg puts in a slide after running to his left, but in vain. Nine off Bumrah’s fourth over.

14:37 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! Smacked down the ground with a straight bat by Shafique off Bumrah! Held the pose for the photographers too! PAK 32/0

14:32 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 6 overs,Pakistan 28/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 13 , Imam-ul-Haq 14)

Five off Siraj’s third over, including a brace to Shafique in the first delivery after working the ball towards fine leg. 12 runs collected in the last four overs after 16 in the first two.

14:31 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 5 overs,Pakistan 23/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 10 , Imam-ul-Haq 13)

Maiden over — the first over the day. Bumrah has been keeping things fairly tight from his end. Imam did get off to a flying start earlier, but decides to block his way through Bumrah’s third.

14:28 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 4 overs,Pakistan 23/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 10 , Imam-ul-Haq 13)

Overpitched outside off from Siraj, and Shafique promptly drives this through the covers to collect his second boundary. Siraj continues leaking runs; then again, his job isn’t really to contain but to attack away, even if he ends up conceding a boundary or two. Siraj, meanwhile, keeps it tidy in the remainder of his second over, conceding two singles in the remaining five deliveries.

14:22 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 3 overs,Pakistan 17/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 5 , Imam-ul-Haq 12)

A much better over from Bumrah with just a single coming off it. Shafique gets an edge in the second delivery, but the ball lands well short of slip. Shafique gets off strike next up with a single.

14:14 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 2 overs,Pakistan 16/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 4 , Imam-ul-Haq 12)

FOUR! Quite the expensive first over from Siraj, with the Hyderabadi pacer conceding three boundaries in a space of four deliveries — and four in a space of five if you include the final delivery of Bumrah’s first over. All the runs that the Pakistani openers have scored so far have come in boundaries.

14:12 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

FOUR! FOUR! That’s three boundaries in as many deliveries, with Imam-ul-Haq smacking Mohammed Siraj for consecutive fours at the start of the second over. First one’s an attempted inswinger that is bowling down leg and actually moves away from the left-hander. Imam simply guides it wide of the keeper for an easy boundary. Next one’s in the slot, and the southpaw has little trouble driving it down the ground. PAK 12/0

14:08 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

After 1 over,Pakistan 4/0 ( Abdullah Shafique 4 , Imam-ul-Haq 0)

FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah starts off with five consecutive dots, and just when he thinks he'll start off with a maiden, he pitches one full along the leg stump. Shafique, who smashed a century on World Cup debut on Tuesday, flicks it through the midwicket region.

14:01 (IST)

India vs Pakistan LIVE

The ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and ‘Qaumi Tarana’ — national anthems of India and Pakistan respectively — have been sung, and it’s now time to focus on what matters the most, an exciting game of cricket!

Abdullah Shafique walks out to open alongside Imam-ul-Haq at the start of the Pakistan innings for a second game in a row , and local boy Jasprit Bumrah will be sending down the first over of the day!

Rohit Sharma, India captain: It cannot get bigger than this. Fantastic atmosphere. Lot of us are going to experience something really special. No particular reason. It’s not going to change much. Dew can be a factor later. It’s important to keep yourself relaxed. Gill is back in place of Ishan. Unfortunate for Ishan, I feel for him. Gill has been a superb player for us.

Babar Azam, Pakistan captain: We were looking to field as well. We have good two games, momentum and confidence too high. Jam-packed stadium, we’re going to enjoy that. We have the same team.
