 India 2-2 (1 ov) vs Pak 83 | Scorecard

Mohammad Amir to bowl the first over for Pakistan and facing him is India's in-form opener Rohit Sharma.

The first ball is right up and strikes Rohit on the toes but the huge appeal for LBW is turned down, that look mighty close and Rohit is lucky to survive.

But he does not survive for long as Amir traps him leg before wicket with the very next delivery. The ball came in slightly and hit Rohit right in front of the stumps to dismiss him for a duck as India suffer a big jolt in the first over of the innings.

Virat Kohli throws his bat at a wide delivery but gets a thick outside edge for a single to thirdman before Amir bowls a wide down the leg side.

Amir strikes again in the first over with the wicket of Rahane, who is also beaten by the swing and trapped leg before wicket for a duck. Both the Indian openers have fallen for ducks as Pakistan get right back into the contest with the twin strikes in the first over.

Suresh Raina gets an unplayable delivery first up, full and swinging away, he is lucky not to have edged that. The left-hander manages to defend the last ball as India are reduced to two for two after the first over.
