Time for Drinks! It has been a really good recovery from Pakistan, courtesy the unbeaten 50-run stand between Malik and Azam. The Men in Green had lost a couple of early wickets but these two have shown a lot of composure. The scoring rate for Pakistan was under 3 in Powerplay 1 but they picked up pace later on, going around 6 an over in the next six. The dropped catch of Malik just before the break will not help India's cause. They need to take their chances.

H Pandya to S Malik, Dropped! Dhoni won't be happy with that! Good length ball outside off, straightens a touch after landing. Malik attempts to guide it down to third man but ends up playing it too fine and towards MS. He gets low to his right and the ball hits his right glove. On impact with the ground, the ball lobs up, hits his other glove and then dies down on the ground. Malik gets a life. Will he capitalize on it?
