    9.4 holes out to deep mid wicket, and Varun provides India with the breakthrough they were craving! Shortish on middle and off, and this seems to skid on. Spins back a touch too and Farhan, looking to swipe it away, is a tad cramped for room. Clinks it off the bottom half of the bat and arrows it towards Tilak. He makes no mistake and Farhan is livid with himself as he walks off. A top tone-setting knock, but it has, much to India's relief, come to an end! 84/1
    14.4 Fakhar goes for one big shot too many, and Varun has another! Varun holds his nerve. Fakhar does not quite do the same. This is hung up on a length outside off again. This is perhaps shorter than the previous one and Fakhar cannot control his stroke this time. Hacks at it with all his might but he only gets it as far as backward point. Kuldeep takes it in front of his face while back-pedaling, and India have gotten the big fish! 126/4
    12.5 sliced tamely, and gobbled up at backward point! Kuldeep on the board too! Fizzed through on a back of a length outside off. Lots of overspin on this, and the ball grips, while also bouncing a touch extra. Ayub, like earlier in the over, cannot keep his cut down and offers a regulation chance to Bumrah, who bends down low and sends Ayub on his way. India have their second, and Kuldeep has his first! 113/2
    13.3 chipped straight to long off, and India have two wickets in a trice! This is given a bit of air just outside off. Haris skips down, trying to go inside out. Does not go through his shot fully, though, and ends up almost checking it. Does not get it wide enough either and Rinku shuffles around to his left to complete the simplest of catches. A good passage for India! 114/3
    16.1 Salman skies one now, and Samson snares this as well! Pakistan in free-fall! Tossed up nicely on a fullish length on leg stump. Salman hares down the track and then has an ungainly swing at it. Nowhere to the pitch of the ball and it goes straight up off the toe-end. Samson tracks it all the way and holds on with a forward dive in the mid wicket region. India well in the ascendancy now! 133/6
    15.3 Talat perishes too, and Pakistan are falling apart now! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Talat has an almighty heave across the line but loses his shape completely. The ball goes straight up off the edge and Samson calls early to complete the catch, just to the right of the pitch. India strengthening their grip, Pakistan losing theirs! 131/5
    19.1 goes straight up, and Rinku does the rest! Pakistan bowled out for 146! Seems like a slower bumper outside off. Nawaz has no option but to swipe at it but cannot come to grips with the lack of pace. Swings too early and shanks it terribly. Rinku settles under the high ball at deep mid wicket, and Pakistan, from 113-1, have been rolled over for under 150! 146/10
    16.4 another lbw shout, but this may have been going down leg! Googly on a fullish length just outside off. Shaheen walks across his stumps, swings and misses. Gets hit on the front pad and even though that seemed to be sneaking down leg, Kuldeep has convinced his captain to review. No bat involved. All eyes on Ball Tracking now and...reckons the ball would have thundered into leg stump. Shaheen has to go, and Pakistan are now seven down! 134/7
    16.6 oh my goodness - what is happening out there?! This is...tough to explain. A floated up full delivery outside off. Faheem plants his front foot and he does not go through with the lofted shot, nor does he try to keep it down. Chips it straight down Tilak's throat at long off, and Pakistan have lost seven wickets for 21 runs! 134/8
    17.5 off stump out of the ground, and Bumrah is on the board as well! Searing full delivery, tailing into off stump. Rauf does not get behind the line and pokes at it in hope. Too late to bring his bat down and the ball breezes past his blade before leaving off stump in a mess. Pakistan nine down, and they still have more than two overs to bat! 141/9

    1.1 a tame miscue into the air, and Faheem is over the moon! Slower ball hung up on a fullish length wide outside off. Abhishek, looking for that customary early-innings six, tries to fetch it but has to drag it way too much. Off the toe-end of the bat and mid on does the rest. Faheem is pumped, and Pakistan have sent back the in-form batter! 7/1
    3.6 Rauf leaps into the air, and Pakistan have three inside the first four overs! Seems like another cutter, bowled into the track outside off. Gill looks to repeat the same party trick but does not get the elevation he wants. Swats it towards mid on, where Rauf times his jump to perfection and snaffles it up with both hands. Top, top effort and an even better start for Pakistan! 20/3
    2.3 has that carried?! Salman is claiming it! But SKY is not going anywhere! Slower ball on a fullish length outside off. Stops a little in the surface and SKY, looking to drive, is early on the stroke. Cannot keep it down and plonks it towards mid off. Salman lunges forward and does not catch it cleanly. Instead, he performs a juggling act while also tumbling over and then emerges with the ball. This seems to have carried, at least from the first angle that is shown. And the third umpire agrees too. The decision reads 'out', and SKY has to walk back. Huge moment in the game! 10/2

    12.2 does him all ends up, and Samson falls! This is beautiful and very brave bowling. Tossed up on a length outside off and this is the one that goes away. Samson wants to go downtown (or maybe even inside out over cover) but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Swishes at it anyway and all he manages is a slice to backward point. Abrar does his trademark celebration, and this is a vital, vital wicket for Pakistan! 77/4
    18.6 Dube holes out to long off, and this game twists and turns yet again! Hard length, slanted across the batter outside off. Dube sits deep in his crease and looks to swat this down the ground. Cuts across this slower ball a little too much, though, and that brings Shaheen into play. He stands right on the fence, judges the catch superbly and takes it in front of his face. Faheem is pumped, and he knows the value of this wicket! 137/5
