India 61-3 (15 overs) vs Pakistan

The first bowling change for Pakistan as Gul replaces Irfan, who took two for 28 in seven overs in his first spell.

He starts with a short ball which Raina pulls on the leg side for one. Yuvraj then drives the next delivery through the cover region for a boundary, only the sixth four for India in the 15th over.

Gul then tries another short ball which Yuvraj looks to pull but misses and it is called a wide. Gul continues to drop it short and Yuvraj swats it back over the bowler's head for a boundary to bring up India's 50.

Gul switches to round the wicket and continues to bounce Yuvraj, who plays the pull again but it hits the toe of the bat and it goes on the bounce to mid-on.

Yuvraj is on fire at the moment as he drives it through the covers for a couple before Gul bowls a no-ball which Yuvraj turns on the leg side for one.

The free hit ball is smashed over midwicket for a four by Raina as India get 18 runs in that over to break the shackles.

Yuvraj has raced to 22 from 19 balls having hit four boundaries and Raina is on six from 17 balls. The duo have put on 24 from 5.3 overs to steady the innings.
