 India 20-3 (5 ovs) vs Pak 83 | Scorecard

The tall Mohammad Irfan comes into the attack, replacing Sami, who bowled just one over with the new ball.

He bowls a wide half-volley which Yuvraj crashes through the covers for the first boundary of the innings.

Two balls later he nearly edges it back on to his stumps and then gets a deadly bouncer which he does well to sway out of the way of. The last ball is full and Yuvraj has a poke to be beaten again.

Amir getting carried away as he attempts a bouncer but it goes way over Kohli and even the keeper for five wides.

Kohli gets a thick outside edge which goes between the first slip and a wide second slip for a single and Yuvraj steers it past point for another run.

Kohli defends the third ball to Akmal at point, who throws a return at the non-striker's end which strikes the umpire on his knees and ends up injuring him.

Kohli doing well to negate the threat of Amir as he defends him watchfully, he is beaten off the last ball but more importantly has played out his third over.
