Pakistan 145-9 (48 overs) vs India 167

Debutant Ahmed bowling under pressure here. The first ball is in the channel and Ajmal is beaten as he tries to play it through the off-side. The next ball is again outside the off-stump which Ajmal tries to steer to thirdman but gets an edge to Dhoni to gift Ahmed his first wicket in international cricket.

Brilliant bowling from Ahmed under pressure in his debut match!

And Pakistan throw away another wicket. Junaid Khan hits it on the off-side where Raina makes a diving stop at short cover but the batsman is halfway down the pitch before he is sent back by Hafeez. Raina gathers himself and hits the wicket at the batsmen's end to effect a run out as Pakistan slip further.

What a remarkable turnaround from the Indian bowlers!!

The tall Mohammad Irfan drives the first ball to mid-off and this time the Pakistan don't attempt a run.

Irfan lets the next ball go through to the keeper as Ahmed continues to move the ball away while blocking the final ball of that over.

Ahmed bowls a wicket maiden, his fourth of the innings, and his figures now read one for 23 in in nine overs which include four maiden overs. Take a bow young man!
