H Pandya to B Azam, FOUR! Deft and effective! Short of a length and there is room on offer, Azam shows finesse as he waits for the ball to arrive and glides it past the keeper through to the third man fence. That brings up the 50-run stand between the duo. A good recovery after Pakistan lost two early wickets.

K Yadav to S Malik, SIX! Clean as a whistle! That was hit with so much authority. Tossed up ball on off, Malik skips down the track in a jiffy and with a high backlift tonks it over cow corner. Has sent the ball a long, long way into the stands. Brilliant.

Kuldeep Yadav to have a bowl now. He has a truck load of tricks up his sleeve. Let's see how the Pakistan batsmen tackle him. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan on air informs that Chahal is off the field. Not sure about the reason though.

H Pandya to B Azam, FOUR! All about timing and grace! Overpitched on middle, Azam stays well-balanced and clips it nonchalantly through mid-wicket. Don't need to chase those.
