Overs4.1
Score3 - 2

B Kumar to F Zaman, OUT! Another poor shot has cost Pakistan big time! Both the openers are back in the hut in no time. Even though you are in rich vein of form, you got to respect the conditions and take your time to settle in. One poor execution can send you packing. Coming back to the ball, it is on a shortish length on off. Zaman doesn't have much space to work with but still goes for a big pull across the line. Ends up getting a top edge that lobs over mid-wicket. Chahal backtracks and takes a fine catch. This is the first duck for Fakhar in ODI cricket. The maiden over that Bumrah bowled put Zaman under pressure. Credit to the Indian bowlers as they kept on cramping him and didn't give him any space to work with. Rohit Sharma is elated and so are his teammates! Pakistan in some early trouble. Need to remain patient.
