February 27, 2016  21:49

 India 69-3 (13 ovs) vs Pak 83 | Scorecard

Riaz is struggling with his rhythm. He starts his second over with a no-ball as he over-stretched the crease but Yuvraj can't get the free hit away, hitting a full toss straight to the fielder in the covers.

Yuvraj is then caught in an awkward moment as he looks to avoid a delivery which he expects to bouncer but it doesn't and strikes him on the bat.

Riaz tries a bouncer but it ends up as a wide down the leg side before he takes one from the next ball and Kohli takes one from the lat ball to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from 55 balls.

Sami and Riaz not having the same impact as Amir and to some extent Irfan did. Kohli goes after a wide delivery from Sami but is beaten before he flicks the third ball, overpitched on leg stump, through midwicket for a four.

He takes a single from the next ball before Yuvraj does well to play out the last two balls of the over.

Irfan is back, taking over from Riaz, who bowled two poor overs for 20 runs on a pitch still offering some assistance to the pacers.

Kohli in complete control at the moment. Irfan bowls it short as Kohli turns it on the leg side and comes back for two runs. The left-armer oversteps to give a no-ball and a free hit which again has Yuvraj Singh on strike, who is unable to make most of it again and pulls it on the leg side for one.

Kohli keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over as India close-in on victory with just 15 needed from seven overs.
