45.4 - Sohail Khan to Dhoni, FOUR, Dhoni delivers! The helicopter! But through mid-off, overpitched outside off and he drills it flat, no-one moved in the field

44.3 - Irfan to Raina, FOUR, Raina is playing with the field now, goes outside off and then takes the short delivery on, pulled over square leg, beats the fielder in the deep. Irfan grimaces

44.1 - Irfan to Kohli, FOUR, Kohli sees the length delivery and swings it over cow corner, takes a step out and hammers it, no chance for long-on. Bad start for Irfan

43.5 - Sohail Khan to Raina, FOUR, third boundary of the over and again a slower delivery down leg, Raina picks it and swings it to fine leg, beating the fielder easily

43.4 - Sohail Khan to Raina, FOUR, Raina makes room and flat-bats a length delivery wide of mid-off, once he missed the man, it was a boundary, Raina now turning it on

43.3 - Sohail Khan to Raina, FOUR, fine leg is up and Sohail Khan errs there, down leg, Raina swings it away over the man, too easy

38.1 - Irfan to Kohli, FOUR, Waqar is an unhappy man. Down leg and all it needed was placement, short fine inside and deep square was very square, Kohli glanced it to the boundary. Misbah makes his frustrations known as well

37.1 - Riaz to Raina, FOUR, Raina gets the pull right this time, goes over mid-wicket, towards wide long-on, one bounce over the ropes

29.3 - Sohail to Kohli, FOUR, bad bowling. Really bad. Very short and wide outside off, Kohli won't miss out, rocks back and cuts past point, beats sweeper. All he needed to do was to hit the gap

28.4 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, FOUR, a little shimmy outside leg and then comes back in line to scream a drive wide of mid-off, he was inside the circle and it went all along the carpet. Kohli applauds that shot and pats Dhawan on the back

28.3 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, FOUR, fabulous shot from Dhawan, he uses his feet and whips it over mid-wicket, knew what he was doing and beats the man in takes the edge deep, Yasir Shah wears a bemused expression - suggesting it was too good

22.4 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, FOUR, Irfan doesn't do a good job at all and that's poor. Kohli uses his feet and hammers it to long-off, Irfan at long-off runs and dives to his right, but the ball goes under his body. Two extra runs given away

22.0 - Riaz to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan has nailed the cut. Short and wide outside off, Dhawan flashed a powerful shot, which beat Shehzad's dive. No chance for him as the ball rockets to the fence. He cuts a sorry figure

20.4 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, FOUR, that's brilliant from Kohli. Yasir Shah and Umar thought that they had got Kohli there. It was the flipper, skidded onto off, but Kohli judged it perfectly and cut that hard and into the gap at point. The ball raced away, shows what a special player Kohli is

20.2 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, FOUR, that is trademark Kohli. Down the track and going inside out over cover, superbly hit and it's a boundary

18.5 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, FOUR, Yasir Shah drags it down and Dhawan puts that away, rocked back and punched it past the diving Misbah at cover, sweeper couldn't there, Dhawan used the depth of the crease well and timed that beautifully

17.4 - Riaz to Dhawan, FOUR, very poor delivery and Dhawan brings up the 50-run stand with a pull. Short and miles down leg, Dhawan helped the pull to the fence. Dhawan and Kohli have a chat with the latter having a few words to say in that conversation

14.3 - Afridi to Kohli, FOUR, down leg and that's easy pickings for Kohli, kneels down and plays a powerful sweep, beating deep backward square, rolled his wrists and kept it down too

11.5 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, FOUR, that is a fine pull shot! Kohli swivelling on the shot and rolling his wrists, to keep it down, wide of mid-on, deep mid-wicket had no chance. The Indian team members - Raina and Mohit applaud that shot

8.5 - Irfan to Dhawan, FOUR, it was in the air, but wide of Younis in that short catching backward square leg, the fine leg was very square and he had no chance of cutting it off, poor delivery and Dhawan cashed in

5.0 - Irfan to Rohit, FOUR, overpitched outside off and Rohit puts Irfan away with a drive wide of point. Opened the face to get the gap and it beats the chasing fielder

4.1 - Irfan to Rohit, FOUR, now Rohit gets going, in the air, but flicked over mid-wicket. The line was middle and leg and Rohit latched on with a superb shot. The Indians in the crowd find their voice

3.5 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, FOUR, first boundary of the game! Short and wide outside off, Dhawan stands tall and cuts hard, wide of the diving point. He hammered that. Can't afford to bowl there

48.0 - Sohail Khan to Dhoni, SIX, Dhoni connects and gets a six! Low full toss and angling in, Dhoni went deep into his crease and swings it miles over mid-wicket, Sohail Khan bowled a very good over until then, but missed his target and Dhoni took full toll

42.2 - Afridi to Raina, SIX, slog sweep now, bends down and nails it over square leg, the ball goes a long way over the ropes. Raina can prove to be quite dangerous for Pakistan

41.3 - Yasir Shah to Raina, SIX, that's a beauty from Raina. He comes down the track and heaves it with the spin over mid-wicket, the key was the use of the feet and then from then on it was easy, the ball sails into the crowd. Played with the angle as well, which helped Raina too

33.4 - Sohail to Raina, SIX, it has gone all the way! Dragged down short and Raina pulled it high and towards deep mid-wicket, Yasir running to his right, leaps and tips that over the bar, goalie style, it goes beyond the ad-cushions, the umpire signals six

6.3 - Irfan to Dhawan, SIX, Dhawan has hit that for a six. Takes on the short ball outside off and pulls over square leg, deliberately hit in the air, knowing no-one was there in the deep, it wouldn't have mattered as the ball sails over the ropes

49.2 - Sohail Khan to Rahane, out Bowled!! Sohail Khan gets a five-for on World Cup debut, against India - take a bow. Now on a hat-trick. He kneels down and kisses the turf in celebration. He is all smiles. Bowled the cutter, from the side of the hand, it came very slowly off the deck, Rahane had made room, was waiting for an age to play the shot, does so, but the ball escapes and hits the top of leg. Rahane b Sohail Khan 0(1)

49.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhoni, out Caught by Misbah!! Pakistan are finishing well. Third time that Sohail Khan has got a wicket today, with the short ball, hurrying the batsman into the false shot. Dhoni went for an almighty pull, can only miscue it in the air, Misbah runs in from mid-off to take it. Sohail has been impressive today and deserves that. Dhoni c Misbah b Sohail Khan 18(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

49.0 - Riaz to Ravindra Jadeja, out Bowled!! Riaz knocks Ravindra Jadeja over. With a slower delivery, superbly bowled and an ungainly leg-side swipe from Jadeja only produces no connection and the off stump is pegged back. After bowling very quickly, he bowled the cutter, which got the wicket. Ravindra Jadeja b Riaz 3(5)

47.3 - Sohail Khan to Raina, out Caught by Sohail!! Raina holes out in the quest for quick runs. Much like Rohit, Raina is hurried onto the pull, no position to play that and he gets a top edge, Haris runs in and takes a good catch at deep mid-wicket. The ball was swirling around and he kept his eyes on it, till the last moment. He then applauds the bowler after taking it. Raina walks off too, raising his bat. Raina c Sohail b Sohail Khan 74(56) [4s-5 6s-3]

45.2 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, out Caught by U Akmal!! Kohli edges and is caught behind. Sohail Khan roars and is all pumped. But he should know that the batsman has got a 100. Someone please remind him. Full and wide outside off, Kohli went for a big drive and edged it. Umar hangs on. Kohli walks off raising his bat to all corners of the ground. Special innings from a special player. Kohli c U Akmal b Sohail Khan 107(126) [4s-8]

29.5 - Sohail to Kohli, out Dhawan Run Out!! Kohli nudged that to short mid-wicket, he took a step or two out and then saw Misbah coming in to field, sent Dhawan back, but the direct hit found Dhawan short despite the dive. An inch or two short as Misbah hits bulls-eye. Dhawan walks off to a standing ovation, raising his bat to acknowledge the applause. He points the bat at someone in the crowd. Dhawan run out (Misbah) 73(76) [4s-7 6s-1]

7.3 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, out Caught by Misbah!! Rohit is gone! The short ball does it for Sohail Khan. Hurried onto Rohit who was on the front foot looking to pull, off the splice and it lobs in front of mid-off, Misbah runs in and completes a simple catch. He is all smiles after taking it. Rohit c Misbah b Sohail Khan 15(20) [4s-2]

31.5 - Sohail to Kohli, no run, dropped by Umar Akmal. Sohail is a disappointed man. It turned away and Kohli was playing a lazy push off the front foot, big edge and straight in before going out. How costly will that prove to be? Match-turning?

10.5 - Afridi to Kohli, 1 run, has that been dropped? Yasir Shah the man running to his right at long-on. On replays it doesn't look like a dropped catch. Very difficult chance, it would've been one of the great catches if he had caught that, it was a miscued pull and Yasir ran at full pelt, went at with both hands, but the ball died on him, he couldn't scoop his hands under the ball. Nervy moment for Kohli though

48.1 - Riaz to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, run-out missed! Ravindra Jadeja drives it to cover, Afridi misses as Jadeja is nowhere near the picture, then Yasir shies and he misses too, but by then Jadeja had made his ground. Confusion as both batsmen weren't sure of the single, in the end they get away

43.1 - Sohail Khan to Raina, no run, down leg, Raina swung and missed, it brushed the trouser pocket on the way to Umar, who went up immediately, Snicko proved him wrong. Gould gets it right

42.3 - Afridi to Raina, 1 run, gets forward and wrists a drive to long-on

42.1 - Afridi to Kohli, 1 run, 100 for Kohli! First Indian to score a hundred against Pakistan in a World Cup game. He removes the helmet and soaks in all the applause. Has a thumbs up sign to someone in the crowd. The Indians in the crowd go absolutely bonkers. Gets there with a push to long-on. Even Raina was celebrating as he crossed for the single. Will have more about the celebration later

26.0 - Irfan to Kohli, 1 run, 100-run stand is up with a pull to deep mid-wicket, 'catch' was the call but there was no-one inside the ring at mid-wicket to catch that

22.5 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, 1 run, 50 for Kohli now and he punches the air! The Indians in the crowd are dancing in the isles. Glanced to short fine and a quick single taken. Kohli takes in all the applause as he reaches No. 34 in ODIs - with respect to fifties. He has to kick on, though

21.1 - Riaz to Dhawan, 1 run, 50 for Dhawan! He has been under pressure coming into the tournament, for a poor run of scores, but he has dug in and got a score. Mistimed chop wide of point, they take a single and Dhawan wants two, is sent back and rightly so. Dhawan gets a pat on the head from Kohli and a hug. The Indian contingent applaud that effort

44.4 - U Yadav to Sohail Khan, FOUR, good shot! Short and just outside off stump, Sohail rocks onto the back foot and pulls well, he hits it to the left of the man at mid-wicket and it races away

43.5 - Ravindra Jadeja to Misbah, FOUR, low full toss darted in, Misbah gets down on one knee and sweeps it fine to the left of the man at short fine leg. That's a hat-trick of fours for Misbah now

43.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Misbah, FOUR, the sweep this time and it's four more. Flighted delivery outside off stump from Jadeja, Misbah fetches the sweep and times it very well. The ball runs away through backward square leg

43.3 - Ravindra Jadeja to Misbah, FOUR, full and in the slot, Misbah backs away and slogs it flat to the deep mid-wicket fence

41.2 - Ashwin to Yasir Shah, FOUR, that's crunched by Yasir, this was flighted and well outside off, Yasir gets down on his knees and swipes it in front of square on the on-side,beats the man in the deep

39.2 - Ravindra Jadeja to Misbah, FOUR, Misbah nails the reverse sweep, Raina was running across as he anticipated the shot, but Misbah rolls his wrists and has control over the shot, beats backward point and races away to the fence

36.4 - Shami to Misbah, FOUR, excellent batting from Misbah, it was a full toss all-right, but Misbah shuffles across his stumps and flicks it past mid-wicket for a boundary

36.2 - Shami to Misbah, FOUR, that's struck well from Misbah, he is still standing tall in this run-chase, pitched up and holding its line outside off, Misbah gets well forward and clubs it over mid-off for a boundary

36.0 - Ashwin to Misbah, FOUR, more runs for Misbah, expensive over from Ashwin, drops one short and wide outside off, Misbah makes room and cracks it to the left of point. After a slow start, Misbah has got going, but is it too late?

34.3 - Shami to Riaz, FOUR, that's a poor ball from Shami, slips one full and on Riaz's pads, he looks to flick and misses, the ball rolls away past the keeper and into the fence. Actually, it went off the bat

33.3 - U Yadav to Misbah, FOUR, nicely played by Misbah, poor ball from Yadav, full toss and on Misbah's pads, whipped away behind square on the on-side for a boundary

33.1 - U Yadav to Misbah, FOUR, Misbah gets one away finally, moves away from the stumps and drills a full ball past cover-point, no need to run for those

29.5 - Ashwin to Afridi, FOUR, Afridi will play his shots, this was pushed through quicker by Ashwin, Afridi gets down on his knees, rolls his wrists and sweeps it powerfully past square leg for a boundary

19.5 - Ashwin to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, great use of the feet and he's attacked Ashwin, who has been bowling well. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Shehzad steps out, gets to the pitch of the ball and easily lofts it over mid-off

19.4 - Ashwin to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, short and wide outside off stump, Shehzad cuts well as he makes room and the fielder at point had no chance. That was a sweetly timed hit from the right-hander

14.5 - Mohit Sharma to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, he's hit this alright and with long-off inside the ring, it's a safe shot! Slower ball right in the slot, Shehzad waits for the ball as he picks it early and lifts it over the infield

12.2 - Mohit Sharma to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, cracking shot, the bat made a sweet sound as it made contact with the ball. An authoritative shot as well. Mohit bangs it short on seeing the batsman advance, but gets into a great position to pull and nails it to perfection as he clears the infield at mid-wicket

7.4 - Shami to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, he was waiting for it. He read the bowler's mind right on that occasion. Having received a good short ball previously, Shehzad thought Shami would deliver one more and he was sitting on the back foot. As it arrived, pulled it from the middle of the bat through mid-wicket

5.0 - U Yadav to Sohail, FOUR, cracking shot! He's looking very good here. Full and well outside off stump, Sohail leans forward and caresses the drive along the ground through extra-cover. There was a big gap between mid-off and cover and Sohail placed it to perfection

4.5 - U Yadav to Sohail, FOUR, a nothing full ball, a gift in fact for the batsman, Sohail doesn't try to do anything fancy, just waits for the ball and flicks it along the ground between mid-wicket and mid-on, Ashwin gives chase, puts in the dive but the ball wins the race

4.2 - U Yadav to Sohail, FOUR, sliced in the air and third man is way too square. Good placement from the batsman. Shortish and well wide of off stump, Sohail deliberately plays it late, hits it in the air but gets it in the gap to the right of backward point

2.1 - U Yadav to Younis Khan, FOUR, easy ball and Younis helps himself to a boundary. That is the first four for Pakistan as well. Fullish and angling into the batsman, Younis waits for the ball and easily flicks it along the ground past the man at mid-wicket

35.1 - Ashwin to Misbah, SIX, that's massive! This was tossed up and well outside off, Misbah goes down on his knees and slog sweeps it high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Pakistan need many more of such blows

26.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to Afridi, SIX, that's the Afridi one has got used to, Jadeja draggged this length ball, ends up very short, pulled away high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

47.0 - Mohit Sharma to Sohail Khan, out Caught by U Yadav!! That's in the airrrr and taken. It's 6-0 for India against Pakistan in World Cups. This is their first major win on this tour. Slower delivery outside off stump, Sohail tries to play a gallery hit, mistimes it high in the air, long-on runs forward and takes a good catch. Sohail Khan c U Yadav b Mohit Sharma 7(10) [4s-1]

45.4 - Shami to Misbah, out Caught by Rahane!! Easy catch at mid-on and that's the end of a fighting innings from Misbah. If only he had more warriors backing him, Misbah would have taken Pakistan closer. Shami bangs this short again, Misbah opens up and almost tries to play a tennis-smash, he mistimes it completely and Rahane takes a few steps to his right to complete the catch. The ball was rising on him and he couldn't control the shot. Misbah c Rahane b Shami 76(84) [4s-9 6s-1]

42.5 - Mohit Sharma to Yasir Shah, out Caught by U Yadav!! Now that's a dolly. Full and in the slot, Yasir Shah backed himself to clear the infield, took his front leg out of the way and swung hard at it, but hit it flat and found the man at mid-on, who just took a few steps back to complete the catch. That ends a stubborn 49-run stand. So Mohit Sharma too gets his name into the wickets column. Yasir Shah c U Yadav b Mohit Sharma 13(23) [4s-1]

34.4 - Shami to Riaz, out Caught by Dhoni!! That's another one gone. Pakistan are losing their way completely in the batting PP. This was short and shapes away slightly, Riaz went for the cut, gets a thin nick and to the right of the keeper. Dhoni dives across to his right and holds onto the low catch. Is the sixth WC win on the way for India? Riaz c Dhoni b Shami 4(2) [4s-1]

34.1 - Shami to Afridi, out Caught by Kohli!! Kohli has probably won this match for India. But is it a no-ball for height? looks OK for me, I think Afridi is OUT. Remember the Afridi dismissal at Mohali in the 2011 WC? This is an exact carbon copy of that. A high full toss from Shami, Afridi was looking to slug it across towards mid-wicket, doesn't get hold of the shot, the ball goes off the thickish outside edge, it stayed in the air forever. Kohli runs across from extra cover, he seemed to have overrun, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it over his shoulder. The ball nearly popped out, but he managed to hold firm. Afridi c Kohli b Shami 22(22) [4s-1 6s-1]

24.4 - Ravindra Jadeja to U Akmal, out Caught by Dhoni!! Drama! Flighted delivery just outside off stump, it spins away from the batsman, Akmal was on the front foot to defend, the ball takes a thin edge and Dhoni takes the catch. He also whips the bails off in a flash before appealing hard for the caught behind. He reviewed immediately as he was so confident. The replay suggested that there was a slight deviation. There was no big wave on the snicko though, just a tiny spike. But the third umpire saw enough evidence to overturn the on-field call. Dhoni and India are pumped. U Akmal c Dhoni b Ravindra Jadeja 0(4)

23.4 - U Yadav to Maqsood, out Caught by Raina!! Edged and that man at fly slip has been precisely placed by Dhoni. Raina takes a good catch high to his right and Umesh has got two in the over. Pakistan have lost the plot. Nothing but a short of length delivery outside off stump, nothing really great about the ball, Maqsood chases away from the body, the ball takes a thick edge and flies. Raina moves his hands to his right and takes a good catch above his shoulder. Jadeja runs to Raina and gives him a tight hug. They know that India are right on top here. Maqsood c Raina b U Yadav 0(2)

23.2 - U Yadav to Ahmed Shehzad, out Caught by Ravindra Jadeja!! In the airrrrr and oh has he dropped it? No, he's held onto the rebound. Short and wide outside off stump, Shehzad cuts very hard, doesn't get the placement right though. It goes low and to the left of backward point. Jadeja goes at it with both hands. The ball pops out initially but he manages to catch it on the second attempt. Shehzad has thrown away a great opportunity to take his team past the line. He was well set and Pakistan are under serious pressure now. Umesh gets his reward for some tight bowling in this spell. Ahmed Shehzad c Ravindra Jadeja b U Yadav 47(73) [4s-5]

18.0 - Ashwin to Sohail, out Caught by Raina!! Edged and that's an easy catch at first slip. Flatter delivery outside off stump, the ball grips and turns away, Sohail was opened up by the spin away from him, he was looking to push off the back foot, but the ball takes a thick edge and goes straight into the hands of Raina, who doesn't drop those. Ashwin deserved that figures, for he has given nothing away. A brilliant wicket-maiden from Ash. His figures so far read, 3-2-5-1. Sohail c Raina b Ashwin 36(48) [4s-3]

3.2 - Shami to Younis Khan, out Caught by Dhoni!! The opening slot isn't working for Younis Khan. He managed to score just four runs before today in two outings and now he's got just 6. He was surprised by the sharp bumper from Shami. Clever thinking from the bowler to bang the ball short, Younis certainly wasn't expecting it. He was initially trying to duck, but changed his mind and tried to pull. The ball rushed onto him, hit the glove and popped up in the air. Dhoni took a few steps to his left and took an easy catch. Younis didn't want for the umpire's signal and he walked. This is not the start Pakistan wanted chasing over 300. Younis Khan c Dhoni b Shami 6(10) [4s-1]

42.4 - Mohit Sharma to Yasir Shah, 2 runs, dropped, but a very tough chance. 10/10 for the effort though! Short delivery outside off stump, Yasir pulls, but the ball goes off the outside half of the bat, deep square leg runs forward, puts in the dive, gets both hands to it, but couldn't hold on

36.3 - Shami to Misbah, 2 runs, 39th ODI fifty for Misbah, short and well outside off, the third man was inside the ring, Misbah waits on it and dabs it past that fielder. Jadeja gives chase and keeps them down to a brace

6.0 - Shami to Sohail, 1 run, outside edge, but it goes along the ground to third man. Oh, chance of a run-out, but Dhoni has hit the stumps at the wrong end. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Sohail plays inside the line and gets a thick edge, the ball rolls to Umesh Yadav, who fires an accurate throw to the keeper. Sohail wanted two and was charging back for the second but Ahmed Shehzad stands his ground at the striker's end. Dhoni, as he does always, collects the ball in front of the stumps, hence he is not aware of which batsman is attempting the run, he disturbs the bails at his end, rather than simply throwing it back to Shami who was running back towards the stumps at the bowler's end
