 Pak 26-2 (4 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Nehra bowls a leg side wide to Sharjeel Khan, who gets the strike after two overs, but takes an extra run as Dhoni fumbles.

The next ball is short as Manzoor clubs it powerfully through midwicket for a boundary, to relieve some pressure off himself. He drives the next through the covers as Jadeja does well to sprint after it and pulls it inches inside the ropes to keep it down to three.

Nehra is bowling it short this over as Sharjeel pulls it square but once again top fielding from the Indians as Bumrah dives across and stops it, giving away three runs.

Nehra pitches it up but misses the radar for another wide down the leg side. He has suddenly lost his rhythm after a wonderful first over as he concedes 13 runs in the second over with Pakistan looking to get their innings back on track after that early wicket.

Sharjeel also adopts a positive approach as he pulls a short ball from Bumrah through midwicket for a four.

Bumrah is quick to adjust his line and length as he pitches it up and slants it across the left-hander. He leaves the second ball of the over through to the keeper but goes after the next delivery, which is slightly slower and bounces a bit more. Sharjeel looks to slash it hard but gets an edge and is caught by Raina at first slip to be dismissed for seven.

A wicket each for the two Indian pacers as Pakistan find themselves in trouble at 22 for two in the fourth over.

Veteran Shoaib Malik gets off the mark in some style as he plays a stylish drive through the off-side for a four. He is beaten comprehensively off the last delivery, as Bumrah gets it to leave the right-hander, who is cut in half.
