14:25 Raina strikes, Pakistan lose 3rd wicket
- Scorecard
Pak 179-3 (35 overs) vs India
Raina is back into the attack. He bowled only one over before this when he was hit for 10 runs before being taken off.
But this time Dhoni's gamble works as Raina traps Younis leg before wicket as he missed the sweep and was ruled out LBW for 10.
Infact, replays show that the batsman had got a thick inside edge on to his pads. How could the umpire miss such a big edge....shocking decision!
Misbah-ul-Haq looks to sweep from outside the off-stump but misses before taking a single from the next ball.

Jamshed has done well in the three matches he has played against India so far, scoring 53 not out, 112 and 101 not out.
The left-hander drives the first ball straight to the fielder at point for no runs before chipping it over the square leg fielder for a boundary. Two balls later he wristly steers it to the thirdman region for a single and once again he is looking in good touch right from the start.
Dinda tries another bouncer, this time at Hafeez but once again it is way too high and is called a wide, while the next ball is played to the covers for a single.
Pakistan have made a good start, reaching 24 for no loss after four overs.

Ajinkya Rahane is the unlucky man yet again as Ravindra Jadeja replaces the out of form Rohit Sharma. He didn't get a single Test match despite being in the squad for all the four matches against England before he got a chance in the T20 games. Rahane has been in excellent form in domestic cricket but the team management don't seem to trust him enough yet.
Following Sachin Tendulkar's retirement from ODIs, Rahane was touted as his replacement in the limited overs format but India decided to go in with an all-rounder for this match and Rahane was benched yet again!
