 Pak 32-3 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Manzoor's lack of technique has been exposed by the Indian pacers. He is looking to himself out of trouble as he plays another heave off Nehra which goes to Hardik Pandya at mid-on, but a misfield results it two runs.

He shuffles across to the next ball and looks to hoick it over short fine leg but gets a glove and is caught by wicketkeeper Dhoni down the leg side. The Indians are celebrating but local umpire S I S Saikot is unmoved as the bowler keeps pleading for the wicket.

The replays show that there was clearly a glove and big noise and the Indians were unlucky not to get that wicket.

Manzoor's technique is all over the place as he goes hard at the delivery but is unable to get any timing or power on it.

Another good over by Nehra, as he concedes two runs and is unlucky not to get a wicket.

Bumrah to continue, to bowl his third over on the trot with the new ball. The first ball slides down the leg side and deflects fine off Malik's pads for four leg byes. The next ball is right on the mark as Malik is struck on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down with the ball looking to be sliding down the leg side.

Malik plays a cracking straight drive but it is too straight and strikes the stumps at the bowler's end to deny Pakistan some runs.

Pakistan lose another wicket off the next delivery, courtesy of a run out. Malik drives it on the off-side where Kohli swoops in quickly but non-striker Manzoor has come down halfway is sent back. However, Kohli's direct hit catches him well short of the crease as he has to make his way back after a struggling innings of 10 from 18 balls.

Pakistan continue to struggle as they are reduced to 32 for three in six overs.
