    7.6 the low bounce had been threatening to do for someone, and it has done for Abdullah!. Kept very, very low and struck him square on the pad, halfway up the shin. Imam tells up there is no point reviewing, and the crowd, as well as Rohit Sharma, make their delight apparent 41/1
    12.3 And he goes driving the very next ball! Hardik is pumped, the crowd is pumped! India have two. Length ball that angles away from Imam, who takes the bait and goes fishing at it. The ball catches the outside edge and Rahul dives to his left to complete a simple catch. 73/2
    29.4 As you say that, Siraj cleans Babar up with a gem! Angled in, heading for the top of off. Babar wanted to run that down to third man, but it keeps low, and the ball hits three fourths of the way up the stumps. Ahmedabad roars once more as India have a much needed breakthrough 155/3
    33.6 Cleans him with a ripper! The slower offcutter does Rizwan in and the collapse is well and truly on. Gets the offcutter outside off stump to grip and deviate sharply into Rizwan. Bowled at only 122kph. Rizwan plays all around it and sees his stumps in a mess. The batter was on the walk and the ball made its way between bat and pad. Boom Boom Bumrah is the chant across the stadium. 168/6
    32.2 He stays back and is caught in front of the stumps as he misses the clip. A loud appeal ensues but the umpire stays unmoved. Oh, this looks so close. Rohit looks at Rahul with a perplexed reaction, and they have taken the review. Was the leggie that skids off the pitch, and catches the batter in front. No batter involved and the tracker confirms the ball would have gone on to thud into middle and leg stump. 162/4
    32.6 Bowled around the legs! Kuldeep on a roll. The wrong'un does the damage and all of a sudden, Pakistan are in all sorts. Flighted googly down leg, Iftikhar goes for a sweep, the ball catches his gloves and rolls back onto his stumps, behind his back. Rahul exults, Iftikhar is confused but has to walk back. 166/5
    35.2 Boom Boom Bumrah! No stopping the fast bowler. Gets the length ball to land on off stump and straighten off the surface. Shadab plays down the wrong line and sees his off stump take a pounding. The Pakistan middle order is in shambles, courtesy Siraj, Kuldeep and Bumrah. 171/7
    39.6 Hacked straight to mid-on and the collapse extends. A nothing short really. Was on a length on middle stump. He backs away looking to clear the fielder. The bat turns in his hand and he can only plonk it to Bumrah. The ball dips and wobbles on Bumrah, who does well to hang on 187/8
    40.1 and another one gone. He has a slog that goes nowhere except high, high in the air. Shubman Gill gets underneath it and takes a calm, composed catch 187/9

    42.5 rapped on the pads and India go up again, but the umpire isn't having it. Rohit reviews. It's hitting, and that is a wrap!. Pakistan have been blown away in Ahmedabad. They lost eight wickets for 36 runs, going from what now looks like a very daunting 155 for 2 to 191 all out 191/10

    21.4 Toe end of the bat and Rohit does not get his eighth World Cup century! The slower offcutter bowled at 107kph does him in. Was fuller and well outside off. Rohit reaches for it and looks to swing across the line. Does not account for the slowness and flaps it straight to midwicket for the easiest of catches. End of a stunning innings from the India captain. 156/3
    2.5 Cut hard but straight to point who takes a super catch! Short and hard as Gill climbs into it but he can't find the necessary elevation. Shadab goes reverse-cup and hangs onto the sharp chance. Ahmedabad is silenced for a second before they see Kohli walk out and find their voice again. 23/1
    9.5 Pulled straight to mid-on and Kohli is filthy with himself there! Banged in short outside off. Kohli looks for a pull, but is hurried into the shot. The ball catches the splice of his bat, which also turns in his hands and Nawaz barely has to move. 79/2
