Pak 19-0 (2 ovs) vs India 185-3

Another left-arm seamer from the other end as Irfan Pathan comes on to bowl the second over. Pathan picked up five wickets in the previous warm-up match, against Sri Lanka.

Nazir chips the first ball that just about goes Balaji at mid-on, who runs back and retrieves it for two runs. Nazir then pulls a short ball behind square on the leg side for a boundary, the first of the Pakistan innings.

India now have a deep square leg in place and as expected Pathan bowls another short delivery. Nazir plays the pull shot again which as Harbhajan cleans up at deep square leg for another couple of runs.

Nazir heaves the next ball through midwicket but fails to get it off the middle and some slack fielding from Balaji at mid-on while chasing the ball gives Pakistan three runs.

Hafeez lofts the final ball over mid-off and it carries all the way for a six.

Pakistan are off and running, getting 17 runs from that over, to reach 19 for no loss after two overs.
