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.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: WICKET!

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.

IND 204/5 (37.3)

India have crossed the 200-run mark. However, the poor news for India is that Ishan Kishan continues to struggle with cramp.

A five-run over from Shadab Khan. India won’t mind it at this juncture in the game as they badly need a big partnership. The duo of Hardik and Kishan have added 51 runs off 53 balls so far. This has improved India’s condition in the game.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: 100 up for India!

Too much of risk from Hardik Pandya and he will get a boundary here. He takes a single on the next ball and India race to 100 runs. The duo of Kishan and Hardik have helped India make a mini recovery. 

IND 102-4 (20)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Pakistan lose a review!

Pakistan have reviewed for a caught behind appeal. A delivery of Mohammad Nawaz missed the outside edge of Ishan Kishan’s bat. Pakistan, unhappy with umpire’s decision, went upstairs only to lose a review.

IND 90/4 (17.2)

IND 87/4 (16.1)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: FOUR!

Another full toss from Shadab Khan and another four from the bat of Ishan Kishan. This went past the mid-off fielder. This is poor bowling from Shadab. He needs to keep India batters at bay but he is leaking runs here.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: OUT!

IND 66/4 (14.1)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Spin introduced!

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Kishan is lucky there!

12.5 – The delivery of Naseem Shah got an outside edge from the bat of Ishan Kishan but the ball fell to the right of slip fielder and ran away for a four.

IND 63/3 (13)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: SIX!

Ishan Kishan plays a dot ball on resumption before hitting an upper cut over third man fence for a six. Haris Rauf has got the wicket of Shreyas Iyer but he also needs to keep a check on his economy rate.

IND 58/3 (11.4)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Big moment for Gill!

Shubman Gill off to a slow start. He is batting on 6 off 24 balls. He is definitely feeling the pressure but this is a big moment for him to shine. If he can get to a noticeable score from here, it would be really great for India. Meanwhile, the players are walking on the ground.

The 50 is up for India but they badly need a good partnership to keep going from here. Scoring rate has been decent but they have lost three crucial wickets.

IND 51/3 (11)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Perfect powerplay for Pak

Three crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer. Pakistan couldn’t have asked for a better start. India are in trouble after losing Iyer in the 10th over.

IND 42/2 (9)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Another FOUR from Iyer!

This is really good batting from Shreyas Iyer. This time Haris Rauf bowled it onto the stumps but Iyer perfectly picked the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket fielders to get a four.
