Pak 96-4 (25 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Part-time off-spinner Kedar Jadhav comes into the attack. He makes a good start to his spell giving away just one run in his first over. He starts with five dot balls in a row to Sarfraz, who avoids the maiden over with a single off the last ball to deep square leg.

The pressure built by India's spinners in the last couple of overs nearly pays off.

Malik chips down the track to Kuldeep and has a wild swing but Bhuvneshwar at deep midwicket comes charging in and over runs the ball to miss an easy catch.

Another reprieve Malik, 37, as Bhuvi fails to take what would have been a simple chance.

Actually Kuldeep had already started celebrating and the batsman was making his way back before the catch was dropped!

But substitute Manish Pandey takes an unbelievable catch in the next over to send back Sarfraz.

The Pakistan captain plays the slog sweep but fails to get the distance as Pandey running to his right at long-on takes the catch but the momentum takes him over the ropes. However, he shows good presence of mind to flick the ball in before he steps over and he comes back in again to complete a stunning catch.

Two quick wickets as Pakistan are reduced to 96 for four in 25 overs at the halfway stage.

Malik, who got two lifelines, is batting on 40 from 59 balls.
