Bhuvneshwar strikes early; Pak lose 1st wicket

Pak 3-1 (3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Imam Ul Haq and Fakhar Zaman are the two opening batsmen for Pakistan, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling for India.

Haq defends the first two balls before he turns the third ball square on the leg side for two runs to get off the mark and then plays out the lasts three balls.

Jasprit Bumrah from the other end and he would be keen to get Fakhar Zaman early.

Zaman, who destroyed India with a cracking century in the Champions Trophy final, shows some intent rightaway as he slaps the first ball through the covers but can't find the gap.

Bumrah not giving Zaman any room as the left-hander is forced to defend the next two balls before he tries to pull a short ball but is unable to make connection.

Bumrah then gets away with a high full toss as Zaman taps it gently back to the bowler and defends the last ball to mid-on as the pacer starts with a maiden over.

Just two overs from the first two overs and Haq looks to break the shackles. He comes down the pitch and looks to swing Bhuvneshwar over the off-side but gets an edge and is caught behind for two.

India's pacers bowling with a lot of discipline, keeping things tight to dry up the runs early on and build up the pressure.

Babar Azam gets off the mark with a single before Zaman plays another couple of dot balls.
