Pakistan 100-0 (18 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack in place of Ashwin, who bowled a lacklustre opening spell of four overs for 28 runs.

Pakistan continue to keep the runs coming as they pick four runs off Jadeja's first over.

Pandya follows it up with another tidy over, conceding just three, as Pakistan reach 93 for no loss in 17 overs at the first drinks break.

Azhar drives Jadeja for a single as Pakistan raise their best opening stand against India in ICC events.

Shane Warne on commentary says he is disappointed with Ashwin's first spell, believes he bowled defensively and tried to stop runs instead of looking to take wickets.

Fakhar growing in confidence after a shaky start. He gives Jadeja the charge and lofts him over midwicket to Pakistan past the 100-run mark, in the 18th over.
