India 66-0 (15 ovs) vs Pak | Scorecard


A long first spell for Imad as he continues, bowling his sixth over on the trot. He has hardly made an impression, while going for over five runs per over.

Dhawan guides a wide delivery from pacer Hasan past point for a couple before he takes a leg bye. Hasan tries a short ball as Rohit does well to avoid it and then picks a single on the leg side before Dhawan also lets alone a quick bouncer.

Left-arm pacer Wahab Riaz comes into the attack, in place of Imad, who bowled six overs for 30 runs in his first spell.

He beats Rohit with a quick delivery which is slightly short and slant across the right-hander, who slashes but fails to make connection.

He crashes through the off-side but the fielder at deep point does well to keep it down to a single as three come from the over.

Good running between the wickets as Rohit turns Hasan on the leg side with soft hands and comes back for a quick second.

India are well placed on 66 for no loss in 15 overs with both openers looking well settled. Rohit has looked quite comfortable, scoring 36 from 55 balls, while Dhawan has taken his time to make 27 from 36 balls.
