Part-time spinners from both ends as Mohammad Hafeez comes in from the other end.

Rohit wastes no time in getting after the spinner as he comes down the track to the first ball and lofts the spinner back over his head for a four.

He then takes a single before Rahul gives the spinner the charge but can't beat the man in the covers.

Rahul then makes room and lofts Hafeez over the cover boundary for a six before he again tries the paddle sweep but can't beat short fine leg as the over goes for 11 runs.

A desperate Pakistan bring back pacer Riaz to make a breakthrough or two.

Rohit runs the first ball down to thirdman for one before the fast bowler tries the bouncer but strays down the leg side and is called a wide.

Rahul drives a full delivery straight into the hands of Babar Azam in the covers to end a wonderful partnership of 136 runs for the opening wicket from 143 balls with Rohit.

Riaz bowls a good delivery to Virat Kohli first up, in the channel outside the off-stump, forcing him to play but the India captain manages to safely tap it to point
