Short and cut but straight to point. Just one off the over.
 
Ravi has 6 balls left. Harmeet with 18. We then have 30 of Sandeep Sharma's to cope with :(
 
TBH this is not an easy pitch to bat on.. India will not have a stroll in the park either..
 
Beauty, swung after pitching! Not going to be easy for India on here if Pakistan get it right.
 
Stayed down, very good adjustment by Babar. Should just see the last two balls out now - it's been Ravikant's day.
 
What a captains knock Babar is playing.. this guy will be a mainstay in our team for a long time..
 
End of Ravi's spell. 10 overs 3-43. Okay now just 3 overs of the spinner to get through.
 
Ravikant actually gave 43 runs?! :O


Seemed like a 3/30 spell - shows how much of a mixed bag he bowled.
 
Pakistan have to take this to 150-175 at least. Horrible collapse, but TBH, India bowled very well.

Come on Babar!
 
5th bowler has to be attacked. Not silly attacking. Just be aggressive and don't let him settle.
 
11 runs away from three figures, need that for psychological purposes.
 
It seems we are scared to chase at all levels.

Even though it's a pressure game but still can't believe they opted to bat first knowing the fact that the teams bowling first have had huge success at this venue.(Talking about major v major)

Still all is not lost yet, let's see how good Babar really is, we have got a mini Karachi 2006 situation here. :kamranakmal.

By the way, Eid Mubarak to all the PPers.
 
That's fine. Harmeet only has 2 overs left. See him off. Only 12 balls. Now this 5th bowler must go!
 
Loose ball to start, static hack by Babar, should have got 4.
 
India risking not using 5th bowler. Aggresive tactics. Must see the good bowlers off and force that 5th bowler to come in late on so he can be attacked.
 
We need to remember that India have only one batsman.. anything around 180 would be very competitive..
 
Pakistan should take the batting PP asap while Babar is still out there
 
We need to remember that India have only one batsman.. anything around 180 would be very competitive..

That's wrong. Seriously. Their opener Chopra is a very good batsman as is Aparjith. Zol is seriously talented and is in form. The keeper to is very good and solid.
 
Nawaz dismissal was disappointing. Getting out to a spinner and that too on a harmless delivery really.

Baba on. :inti
 
Babar is doing the exact right thing here, can't afford to attack until the 38th-40th over.
 
Very early and he might get out the next ball, but once again Babar Azam showing his class.

This is why I and many others have raved about him since he was 15. A special breed with the ability to handle pressure.

Technically looks superb.
 
93-6 after 31 overs. Seriously, come on boys! 150 we're looking at now if these two stick around.
 
Babar moves to 48*, India's fielding, except one drop, has been outstanding.
 
Looks like more Pakistan twitter users are online atm. :yk
