The Indian top order is struggling against Pakistan’s pacers again. Shaheen Shah Afridi scalps two veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with precision and aggression.
Eleventh over: Two off the bat with a leg bye ends Naseem’s fourth for three runs. India now 51 for the loss of three wickets.
Tenth over: Fakhar Zaman holds on to a blinder! Haris Rauf, who was dispatched for a boundary by Gill on the second ball gets Shreyas Iyer caught at square who pulled the pacer as Fakhar manages to grab it. India end the 10th over with 48 runs on the board at the loss of three wickets.
Shaheen was taken off the attack after his five. Naseem replaces the lanky left armer.
Ninth over: Shaheen starts another over as Babar keeps him on. Gill is wary of the left armer who is swinging it both ways. A maiden from the pacer to end the ninth over with India 42 for 2.
Eighth over: Haris Rauf started with the eighth over, replacing Naseem, with the express pacers conceding 12 runs in what was an expensive first over.
Seventh over: An inside edge for the Indian great Kohli and he has to walk back to the pavilion for the measly four runs off seven balls.
Sixth over: Five wides for Naseem as Kohli comes out to bat, a tidy over up until that point. Pakistan has leaked extras in the early stages as the ball swings both ways. Kohli with a crashing cover drive in the fifth ball ends the over with 11 runs.
Fifth over: Rohit’s poor form against the left-hander continued as Shaheen’s blistering delivery hit his off stump.
