Pakistan 128-1 (23 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Both the openers not wanting to throw it away after getting to the fifty, looking to stay as long as possible.

The singles are coming quite easily and they will look to continue in the same vein for next 8-10 overs.

Jadeja has also disappointed so far with the ball. He drops short again as Azhar cuts it square on the off-side for a four and Dhoni is clearly unhappy as he yells 'nahi, nahi yaar'

The next ball is again short as Azhar steers it past short thirdman for two runs and Dhoni walks up to the bowler and has a chat.

India are desperate for a wicket as they bring back Ashwin, who struggled in his first spell.

Ashwin has been quite straight as he again bowls on the stumps and Fakhar takes a single before Azhar does the same.

Fakhar makes room and looks to cut Ashwin but can't beat the fielder at point.

He tries to steal a quick single to Yuvraj on the leg side who is slow to react as the batsman makes his crease despite a direct hit.

Against the run of play, Pakistan lose the wicket of Azhar, who is run out for 59. He turns Ashwin on the leg side and goes for a quick single as Bumrah does well with a diving save at square leg.

Fakhar initially sets off before deciding against going for the run and it results in Azhar being run out after a good opening stand of 128 runs.
