India 46-2 (6 ovs) vs Pakistan

WICKET: Sehwag c Afridi b Ajmal 26 (14b, 4x4, 1x6)

Pakistan introduce spin in the form of Saeed Ajmal, the world's leading spinner at the moment. Up against him will be Sehwag, who is lethal against spinners. This will be a contest to savour despite being just a warm-up game.

Sehwag takes him on immediately. He lofts the first ball down the ground and Sami at long-on tries to take the catch but fails to hold on and throws the ball in. The third umpire, strangely, rules it as a boundary. Now there is a correction and it is given as a dot ball as the batsmen didn't cross over.

But Ajmal gets his man off the very next ball. Sehwag makes room and tries to play the cut shot but Afridi at point comes up with a brilliant catch diving to his left.

Sehwag made a quickfire 26 from 14 balls to give India a flying start.

India promote Rohit Sharma to number four ahead of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina. Rohit defends the first two balls before flicking it to the leg side for one.

A good start from Ajmal, taking the wicket of the dangerous Sehwag, while conceding just one run in his first over.
