Umesh Yadav to take the new ball for India. He is ready to go at the start of his run-up. The countdown begins and here we go for the first ball! Two slips in place.

Welcome back. Lots of smoke at Adelaide. The fireworks creating that. Shehzad and Younis have a chat in the middle. They are waiting for the smoke to clear. It's all fine now!

Kohli: "Absolutely, a really important game for us, starting off against Pakistan is obviously. A very big game for us and I'm happy with the way we batted. Got a big total on the board. 300 is always a pyschological advantage if we get it on the board. We are really pleased with the batting effort. In the warm-up games and in the tri-series, I tried a bit too much. I have been batting well for the past few months and hitting it really well in the nets as well. So it was all about giving myself more time and having a bit of patience out there and it paid off. I had to play the anchor role and that really allows us to set up a big target. It's a two-paced wicket. Pakistan bowled in good areas throughout. It wasn't easy to score. Raina was absolutely magnificent. The wicket is not as easy as he made it look. Eventually we have to bowl in the right areas even if it's a greentop, it won't be that easy to chase down. Absolutely, I can wrap this ground and take it back home with me. It is that special to me. I've played a few of my best innings here and coming out here against Pakistan in the first game of the World Cup, it is a really special feeling."

Pakistan also dropped a few chances which cost them in the end. Umar Akmal, the wicket-keeper, dropped a rather easy chance off Haris Sohail to give Virat Kohli a reprieve. Yasir Shah showed his inexperience by not standing on the edge of the mid-wicket boundary when Raina thwacked a six. For Pakistan, Sohail bowled with zest and vigour to take a five-wicket haul. Wahab Riaz also proved his worth in the end overs. By the way, Sohail is the first Pakistani bowler to take a fifer in ODIs since Wahab Riaz's effort in the 2011 World Cup semifinal against India.

In fact, India didn't start on a good note as they lost the early wicket of Rohit Sharma off Sohail Khan's bowling. However, Dhawan and Kohli kept the scoreboard moving by taking quick singles and twos. Once Dhawan was dismissed for 73, Raina with his pyrotechnics, smashed the Pakistani attack to shreds. Raina was severe on Sohail as he was thumped for three boundaries in the 44th over of the game. He also slog swept Shahid Afridi for a sumptuous six.

In the backdrop of a jam-packed stadium, with 50,000 fans making a raucous din, Virat Kohli essayed an awe-inspiring century to help India amass a huge score of 300 for 7 in their allotted 50 overs. It turned out to be his 22nd century in ODIs. Kohli was eventually dismissed for a superbly-paced innings of 107 off 126 deliveries. Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina also chipped in with key knocks for India. On the other hand, Pakistan's bowlers didn't help their cause by struggling to bowl with good control for most part of the game, but by taking a slew of wickets in the slog overs, they gained a bit of momentum going into the innings break.

49.6 - Sohail Khan to Shami, 2 runs, India get to 300. Shami makes room and slices it to sweeper, to the left of the man, they come back for the second. The Indian contingent in the crowd are all shouting and cheering. Sohail Khan walks off with a huge smile on his face. He holds the ball as he goes off, he leads the team and is hugged by Waqar Younis. One happy fella!

Misbah and Sohail Khan have a chat. Can he end on a high?

49.5 - Sohail Khan to Ashwin, 1 run, Ashwin uses his feet and then works the slower delivery to backward square leg, they don't take the second

49.4 - Sohail Khan to Shami, 1 run, low full toss on the stumps, Shami swings and gets a slice down to third man, awkwardly done

49.3 - Sohail Khan to Shami, no run, so nearly a hat-trick! What a good yorker that was, Shami had no clue as he tried to dig it out, inches away from the off stump. What an achievement that would've been, if he had taken the hat-trick

Mohammed Shami, right handed bat, comes to the crease

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)

Sohail Khan to Rahane, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Ravichandran Ashwin, right handed bat, comes to the crease

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]

Sohail Khan to Dhoni, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Ajinkya Rahane, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.6 - 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)

Riaz to Ravindra Jadeja, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

48.5 - Riaz to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, beats Ravindra Jadeja on the slash now. Pace from Riaz as Jadeja is deep in his crease and can't connect

48.4 - Riaz to Dhoni, 1 run, angled in, punched to sweeper cover

Riaz is bowling from round the wicket to Dhoni

48.3 - Riaz to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, slower delivery outside off, Ravindra Jadeja reaches out and carves it straight to the fielder at point, only a single. Turns the strike over

48.2 - Riaz to Dhoni, 1 run, 154kph angling in, cramping Dhoni for room who pushes to point, that hurried onto Dhoni and he could only play the soft shot

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

47.6 - 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

Ravindra Jadeja, left handed bat, comes to the crease

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]

Sohail Khan to Raina, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

47.2 - Sohail Khan to Raina, no run, Gould makes a good call, Raina shuffles across to go over the leg-side, misses the swing, it wasn't far away from the leg stump, so Gould gives it as a dot. Dhoni has a chat with the umpire who smiles

46.3 - Riaz to Dhoni, no run, pitched up outside off, drilled straight to the fielder at mid-off, Dhoni hit that hard, but didn't hit the gap

Now Riaz round the wicket to Dhoni

MS Dhoni, right handed bat, comes to the crease

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]

Sohail Khan to Kohli, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Coming back to his celebrations after his hundred, he punched the air and shouted as he was crossing to the other end. Then he removed his helmet and soaked in all the applause with arms raised. Hug came from Raina at the other end. Tremendous scenes.

Champions turn up when the big matches come around. 100 for Kohli. What.A.Playa! 3 innings at the Adelaide Oval (this tour only). 3 100s. 2 of them was in a losing cause. Will this turn out to be a match-winning one? Time will tell. He has not been in the best of nick after the Test series, but against the arch-rivals, he has come to the party. This batsman is a very, very special talent.

45.1 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, yorker, wide outside off, Kohli fails to dig it out

44.6 - Irfan to Raina, no ball, that is a beamer! Irfan is having all sorts of problems today. Huge beamer, slipped out of his hands, Raina ducks under that and Umar fields on the bounce. Gets a warning from Kettleborough, another one and he will be gone

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

43.1 - 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

Misbah is going for a review against Raina. He checked with his keeper and then signalled for the review. For a caught behind appeal. Snicko says nothing. It's absolutely dead Snicko says Rameez on air. Raina swung and missed. Nothing on Snicko and Raina survives. Pakistan lose a review

Sohail Khan [6.0-0-22-1] is back into the attack

Amidst all this, I forgot to mention Raina's fifty. Apologies for that.

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

41.6 - Yasir Shah to Raina, no run, skids on, Raina whips this to mid-wicket, straight to the fielder

41.5 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli makes room and drives inside out to long-off, for a comfortable single, wanted to get it wide of the man, is a bit disappointed with himself

41.4 - Yasir Shah to Raina, 1 run, Raina does the sensible thing by working through square leg

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

41.2 - Yasir Shah to Raina, 2 runs, Raina uses his feet and milks it to long-on, the call was for two and two it was

Shahid Afridi [6.0-0-33-0] is back into the attack

25 off the batting powerplay. Good one for Pakistan, but India haven't lost a wicket which is big as well.

Meanwhile, here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the last 10 overs. Virat Kohli continued to play with supreme touch. His ability to pick the length quickly made it difficult for Pakistan's spinners to settle into a good rhythm. Kohli has also played with good defence in this game. When Pakistan's bowlers have bowled with good disciplines, the willow has come down crisply, unwaveringly straight to meet the ball.

For Pakistan, Umar Akmal the wicket-keeper, gave Kohli a reprieve by dropping the right-handed batsman when he was on 76. To make it worse for them, if Yasir Shah was fielding at the edge of the mid-wicket boundary, he could have caught Raina. Pakistan desperately need a slew of wickets to restrict India to a score of around 300.

38.5 - Irfan to Raina, no run, Irfan is lucky that it didn't go the boundary, Raina pulled and found short fine, as Irfan bowled short and down leg, either side of the fielder and it would've been a boundary

38.4 - Irfan to Kohli, 1 run, pitched up outside off, driven to mid-off for a single

38.3 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, back of a length outside off, Kohli cuts and finds point

Afridi and Misbah have a chat. Afridi is making a point, not looking happy as he gesticulates

38.2 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, dabbed to point, straight to the fielder

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

37.6 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, driven wide of the diving cover, mid-off keeps it to a single

Riaz loses his run-up

37.4 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, Kohli is beaten neck and crop! That cut back in and Kohli played down the wrong line, the ball missed the inside edge and went over the stumps, Umar dives to his left and collects. Fine delivery and the bounce in the wicket took it over

35.1 - Riaz to Raina, 1 run, short of length outside off, Raina hops a little and glides it with an open face to third man

If Yasir was standing right at the edge of the boundary, it would've gone straight down his throat. Instead he was well in and found it a much difficult catch. Batting powerplay time. Wahab is back as well.

Wahab Riaz [5.0-0-27-0] is back into the attack

34.6 - Afridi to Kohli, no run, Kohli opens the face of the bat and finds short third, wants the single, but Raina isn't having anything of it

32.2 - Afridi to Raina, 1 run, softly nudged in the gap at mid-wicket

Now round the wicket to Raina

30.1 - Yasir Shah to Raina, 1 run, stabbed to point, into the gap and Raina is off the mark

Meanwhile, here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the last 10 overs. Both Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan notched up fifties as India looked set to amass a sizeable total on the board. Kohli and Dhawan twinned fine strokes with quick singles to keep Pakistan's fielders on their toes. In particular, Kohli played with nimble wrists to milk the spinners. To make it worse for Pakistan, Mohammad Irfan was warned for the second time by the umpire for running on the pitch. If Irfan does it again, he would be taken off the attack. Irfan then, decided to bowl from around the wicket.

Yasir Shah, the leg-spinner, bowled with decent control during the middle part of the game, but as the track has offered little assistance for the spinners, he struggled to make any impact. Occasionally, he bowled over-spin in an attempt to keep the batsmen guessing. Just in the nick of time though, Misbah-ul-Haq effected a direct hit to send Dhawan back to the pavilion and end the century stand.

29.6 - Sohail to Kohli, 2 runs, Kohli gets forward and drives wide of long-off, easy two

Suresh Raina, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Drinks time again.

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]

Sohail to Kohli, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Has Dhawan been run out? Direct hit from Misbah at short mid-wicket. Dhawan looks to be struggling. Against the run of play, Pakistan may have got a wicket. The bat looks to be short of the line as Dhawan dived. OUT should be the call and it is OUT. Pakistan flags flutter in the breeze. Dhawan walks off

29.4 - Sohail to Kohli, no run, defended to the right of Sohail

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

29.2 - Sohail to Kohli, 2 runs, another couple to deep mid-wicket, as Kohli gets forward and flicks. Quick running too

29.1 - Sohail to Dhawan, 1 run, tapped into the gap at cover point

28.5 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, 1 run, clipped through square leg, for a single

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

The wind has picked up now. Lots of dust flying around. A staff member tries his best to keep the ad cushions in place, preventing them from flying away. Slight delay, but we are ready to go

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

26.3 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, 2 runs, Dhawan comes down the track and flicks to deep square leg, there is a direct hit from deep square leg, but Kohli was well in. Third ump called for and it's a bit of a delay as he confirms the decision

26.2 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, no run, Umar wants the throw back from Yasir Shah as Dhawan was out of his crease, but Shah doesn't shy, it was driven back at him after Dhawan used his feet, he should've thrown for Dhawan was out of his crease

25.6 - 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

25.5 - Irfan to Dhawan, 1 run, drop and run to short cover, quick running again

Irfan has now been warned offically for the 2nd time. Bad news. One more time and he can't bowl in the innings. His giant strides are taking him right into the danger zone. Again he goes round the wicket now to Dhawan

25.4 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, short of length outside off, dabbed to point

25.3 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, short and wide outside off, Dhawan looks to ramp that over the slips and fails to do so

25.2 - Irfan to Kohli, 1 run, Afridi has hit Kohli on the back with the throw. Kohli smiles and gets on with it. Afridi has a check and all is fine. Nice to see. It was dropped and run to short cover, Afridi was going for the stumps but found Kohli in the way. Kohli grimaced in pain after the ball hit, but soon broke into a smile

Now Irfan's response is to go round the wicket

Irfan has been offically warned by Ian Gould for running on the pitch

25.1 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, well-timed front foot drive, but straight to the fielder at cover

23.4 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, the cutter beats Kohli, on the forward push, flirted out and didn't edge it, doesn't carry to Umar though

23.4 - Irfan to Kohli, wide, wide has been called as Kohli belatedly pulls out of the shot, it was short and outside off, Kohli wanted to hook and then left it go. Richard Kettleborough signals the wide from square leg

23.3 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, Kohli softly taps that to the right of Irfan who fields, may have been the cutter from the big man

23.2 - Irfan to Dhawan, 1 run, nudged to mid-wicket, into the gap

A slip in place as Pakistan look for a breakthrough

Dhawan's lbw call last over, pitching in line, but going down

23.1 - Irfan to Kohli, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Kohli punches it to sweeper cover, for a single

Mohammad Irfan [5.0-0-26-0] is back into the attack

22.6 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, no run, big shout for lbw, but that may have pitched outside leg as Dhawan swept and missed, would've been going down as well. No dice for Yasir Shah

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

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

22.3 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, no run, solidly defended to cover

22.2 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan comes down the track and eases a drive to long-on

Misbah and Yasir Shah have a chat now

22.1 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, 1 run, nudged to backward square leg, quick single taken

21.6 - 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

21.5 - Riaz to Dhawan, no run, dug in short and outside off, Dhawan arches back and sways out of the line, called one short ball for the over

21.4 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, short and wide outside off, cut to sweeper cover

21.3 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, Kohli opens the face of the bat on this back of a length delivery outside off, but finds gully

21.2 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, a forceful punchy drive off the front foot, but straight to the fielder at cover

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

20.6 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, 1 run, on middle and leg, Dhawan gets forward and flicks to deep mid-wicket

20.5 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, 1 run, now rocks back and nudges this through square leg, for a comfortable single

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

20.3 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, no run, gets forward and defends it back to Yasir Shah

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

20.1 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan comes down the track and drives to mid-off, takes the quick single

Meanwhile, here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the first 20 overs. After Rohit Sharma was dismissed, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, with a flurry of boundaries set a solid platform for India. Kohli showed his class by playing a sweep shot behind square to collect four runs. It gives an indication about his ability to out-think the bowler, as he knew that a fielder wasn't stationed at deep backward square-leg. On the other hand, the easy-paced wicket has helped Dhawan to play his natural game. When the ball nips around, Dhawan's tendency to not move his back-foot has led to him edging the ball to the slip cordon and his eventual dismissal.

As the ball kept ricocheting off the boundary boards, Pakistan introduced Shahid Afridi and the left-arm pacer, Wahab Riaz, into the attack. Riaz, mixed it up by bowling the odd bouncer and using cross-seam deliveries to skid it off the surface. But after bowling a few tight overs, released the pressure by drifting onto the pads of Dhawan. Yasir Shah, the leg-spinner, too struggled to bowl with control.

Lot of comments coming in about how Yasir Shah resembles Lionel Messi a lot. And must say, they are dead right. Dopplegangers!

19.6 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, and the fielder stops that. Kohli played that dab again with an open face

Now a fielder has been placed at gully to stop Kohli running it down to third man

19.4 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, short outside off, Kohli opens the face of the bat and glides it down to third man

19.2 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli opens the face of the bat and runs that down wide of point for a single

Kohli is unhappy with movement behind the bowler's arm. A slight delay in play. That's sorted now

19.1 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, pitched up outside off, Kohli punches that straight to the fielder at point, off the front foot

Wahab now round the wicket to Kohli

18.6 - Yasir Shah to Dhawan, no run, tossed up on the stumps, Dhawan gets forward to dead-bat it

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

18.4 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, 1 run, on the back foot and punched to sweeper cover

18.3 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, no run, Kohli looks for a tap and run to point, but the fielder charges in to prevent that

18.2 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, no run, on the stumps, Kohli gets forward and defends to cover

18.1 - Yasir Shah to Kohli, no run, down leg and Kohli misses out on the flick, off the pads and Umar collects

17.5 - Riaz to Dhawan, 1 run, short and wide outside off, Dhawan plays a late cut to square third man, for a single

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

17.3 - Riaz to Dhawan, no run, back of a length outside off, Dhawan mistimes the cut, hit it hard into the ground and found point

17.2 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, opens the face of the bat and runs it down to square third man, for a single

17.1 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, almost dragged on! Kohli looked to defend off the back foot, the angled bat and the inside edge is taken by the pad and it misses leg stump. Riaz has his hands on his head, he runs in to prevent any thoughts of a quick single being taken by the batsmen

India are playing this well. They are keeping the scoreboard ticking with sensible batting. Just no risks taken. The running between the wickets has been very good too. Mind you, this is a batting beauty. So they would need all the runs they can muster

16.6 - Afridi to Kohli, 1 run, gets forward and drives to long-off

16.5 - Afridi to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan nudges that into the gap at square leg, for another single

15.5 - Riaz to Dhawan, no run, called one for the over, it was a short delivery and dug in down leg, Dhawan ducked under that and Umar took it above his head as the ball thudded into his mitts. The square leg calls it one short ball for the over

15.4 - Riaz to Kohli, 1 run, pitched up outside off, Kohli gets forward and leans into the cover drive, nicely timed square of the wicket

15.3 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, punched to Shehzad at point, who moves to his right and fields, the shot was timed well and Shehzad did well

15.2 - Riaz to Kohli, 2 runs, quick running by Kohli and Dhawan, it was nudged off the hips behind square and Kohli spotted the chance for the 2nd, pushed his partner and made it back easily

15.1 - Riaz to Dhawan, 1 run, wristy push to mid-on, they take the single

Wahab pulls out as he loses his run-up

Drinks are on the field now. The intensity of this game is top-notch and the crowd are 'unbelievable in Shane Warne's words. Feels every bit like an India-Pakistan game. Pakistan made a good start but India look like they want to keep wickets in hand and then explode later on. Sounds a good strategy. We are only 15 overs into the game and it already feels like we have been there for a long time.

14.6 - Afridi to Kohli, no run, flicked to short mid-wicket

14.5 - Afridi to Dhawan, 1 run, tossed up outside off, Dhawan gets forward and taps it square of the wicket, for a single

14.2 - Afridi to Kohli, 2 runs, whippy wristy cover drive and straight through cover's hands, Afridi isn't happy at all, the fielder who is Shehzad doesn't even get up and chase, they take two as long-off fields

14.1 - Afridi to Dhawan, 1 run, generously tossed up and Dhawan gets forward to drive to long-on

Now Afridi round the wicket to Dhawan

13.6 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, Kohli shuffles across to cover off and defends it towards short mid-wicket, Riaz runs and fields

13.4 - Riaz to Dhawan, 1 run, down leg, easily clipped away to deep backward square leg

13.3 - Riaz to Dhawan, 2 runs, in the air, but just wide of the diving point. Shehzad went full length to his left, but couldn't get there. Riaz applauds that effort

13.1 - Riaz to Kohli, no run, fullish and on off, Kohli plays a punchy wristy drive, but straight to the fielder at mid-on

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

11.4 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, driven forcefully off the front foot, but straight to the fielder at cover

11.3 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, short and down leg, a flamboyant one-legged pull to fine leg

11.2 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, 1 run, fumbled at mid-on and they eventually take the single. Pushed off the back foot and Kohli sent Dhawan back after seeing the fielder run in, the fielder tumbled and lost control of the ball, then the batsmen took the run

11.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, down leg, Dhawan closes the face of the bat and glances it to fine leg

10.6 - Afridi to Dhawan, 1 run, pushed square of the wicket

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

10.4 - Afridi to Kohli, no run, Younis Khan at cover, slides to his left and keeps Kohli at his end. Good throw back to the keeper too

10.3 - Afridi to Kohli, no run, pushed off the back foot to mid-on

10.2 - Afridi to Kohli, no run, hurries onto Kohli, who gets forward and defends to cover

10.1 - Afridi to Dhawan, 1 run, tossed up on leg, nudged to deep backward square leg

Shahid Afridi, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

Sohail Khan is a very strong man. He is built like a boxer. Tall and has his chest puffing out, as he runs in to bowl. Well-built would be an understatement to describe him.

Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the first 10 overs: In the backdrop of a frenzied atmosphere and raucous din created by 50,000 flag-waving fans, India made a steady start after winning the toss and electing to bat. It was Shikhar Dhawan, who initially took the aggressive route by taking advantage of a short and wide delivery from the towering giant, Mohammad Irfan, to send it scurrying to the boundary boards.

Dhawan, with his broad blade, also played a crunching hook shot off the bowling of Irfan that ended up in the stands. Pakistan though, made a fine comeback, with Sohail Khan snaring the wicket of Rohit Sharma. Rohit, known for finding gaps with needlepoint precision, paid the price for trying to belt the cover off the ball. For Pakistan, Irfan extracted disconcerting bounce from a good length and troubled the Indian batsmen.

9.6 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, Kohli shuffles across a little and softly nudges this towards short mid-wicket

9.5 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, down leg, tickled to fine leg

9.4 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, Sohail Khan is now steaming in and bowling at pace, another delivery hurries onto Dhawan and cramps him for room, it nips back in and catches the batsman on the thigh pad, beating the flick

9.3 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli looks to defend off the back foot and gets a thick outside edge, but in the gap to third man,

9.2 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, back of a length outside off, pushed to point off the back foot

Coming back to Rohit's dismissal, he completey lost his shape while playing that. The body contorted and as a result, he lost all timing. Looks very awkward on the replays

9.1 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, short of length and Kohli plays a perfect back foot defensive to cover

Our man there, Rajaraman, reckons that the ball isn't coming onto the bat as expected. That might be the reason for Rohit's mistimed pull.

8.6 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, nips back in and Dhawan's hand comes off as he defends it into his pad, the ball rolls to the left of Irfan

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

8.4 - Irfan to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli hangs back and opens the face of the bat to run it down to square third man

8.3 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, Shehzad dives to his right at point to field that as Kohli stabbed it away from the body, played away from the body which may be a dangerous ploy, if the ball moves away

8.2 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, angled across Kohli, who watches it and shoulders arms

8.1 - Irfan to Kohli, no run, goes for the yorker first up, Kohli shuffles across and clips it to square leg

7.6 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli is away with a flashing cut to third man, it was in the air, but well wide of point

7.5 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, pacy back of a length delivery outside off, Kohli lets it go

7.4 - Sohail Khan to Kohli, no run, Kohli tries to cut that too hard and edges it softly, the ball bounces in front of 2nd slip. Good pace being generated now by Sohail Khan

Virat Kohli, right handed bat, comes to the crease

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]

Sohail Khan to Rohit, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

7.2 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, no run, short of length on off, Rohit defends it back to Sohail Khan

7.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, tucked off the hips to fine leg

6.6 - Irfan to Rohit, 2 runs, short of length outside off, Rohit opens the face of the bat and glides it to deep backward point, Wahab Riaz runs and slides to keep it to two, it looked an awkwardly effort, but he saved two

6.5 - Irfan to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan gives the thumbs up to Rohit after a risky single. Risky, because Dhawan wasn't sure where the ball went after he inside edge the drive, the ball went to Younis and Rohit wanted the single, pushed Dhawan who made it as Younis missed the stumps

6.4 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, Dhawan has a bit of trouble there, but pushed it awkwardly into the off-side, as the short ball comes in at outside off

Shane Warne on air: "It's unbelievable, the atmosphere out there"

What will Irfan's riposte be now?

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

6.2 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, angled in on the stumps, Dhawan defends it back to Irfan

This is a nuisance now! Dhawan again pulling out, unhappy with spectators moving

6.1 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, Dhawan rises onto his toes and softly nudges it to Younis, kept it down and played it well

Younis Khan has been placed at a short backward square, for a catch off a short ball, fending

Dhawan pulls out as Irfan runs in. Some movement behind the bowler's arm

5.6 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, leg byes, 1 run, down leg and Dhawan once more misses out, but they take a leg bye as the ball brushes the pad and goes to fine leg

5.5 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, extra bounce from a back of a length and surprises Dhawan, it rears up on him and he takes one hand off the bat handle, as the ball hits the splice. Sohail Khan's pace hurried him there

5.4 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, back of a length on off, defended towards mid-off, the fielder from cover closed in and that forced Dhawan to retreat

5.3 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, 1 run, nudged towards short mid-wicket, they take a quick single. Easily done in the end

5.2 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, no run, good length outside off, Rohit gets a good stride forward and blocks solidly

5.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, short and down leg, Dhawan swivels on the pull, gets it down to fine leg, on the bounce

4.6 - 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

4.5 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, beaten! That's what the round the wicket angle can do, angles in and straightens past the forward push, made him play and it was so close to the outside edge

4.4 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, angled in, but not close to off, Rohit is taking his time to get in, leaves another one

Now Irfan is coming round the wicket

4.3 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, short and outside off, Rohit sways away and lets it go

4.2 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, back to the probing outside off line, Rohit flags it through to the keeper

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

3.6 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, down leg and full, Dhawan missed out, clipped and missed, the ball rushes off the pad into the leg-side

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

3.4 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, 1 run, on middle, Rohit closes the face of the bat too early and gets a leading edge, but wide of anyone, single to wide mid-off. That could've so easily gone to hand

3.3 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, fraction short outside off, Dhawan mishits the pull, wide of mid-on, Wahab dives to his left and keeps it to a single. Good fielding from the big man

3.2 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, pitched up outside off, Dhawan mistimes the cover drive, tried to hit it too hard and finds cover

3.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, tight delivery on the stumps, Dhawan pushes it back to Sohail

2.6 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, outside off, angle, left alone

2.5 - Irfan to Dhawan, 1 run, so nearly a wicket. Irfan gets steep bounce and gets the lifter going, Dhawan is all at sea, is on the hop as he fends out, luckily for him, the outside edge goes to the left and wide of 2nd slip. A couple of Pakistanis have their hands on their head. Dhawan certainly isn't looking comfortable against Irfan

2.4 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, directed into the rib-cage, Dhawan awkwardly fends to backward square leg, one hand came off the bat handle as he played that

2.3 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, Umar is appealing for everything! What a short delivery that is though, right at the chest of Dhawan, the batsman didn't drop his hands as he swayed away from the line of the ball, it was close to the bat and the glove, but missed everything

2.2 - Irfan to Dhawan, no run, Dhawan gets half-forward and defends to the left of point

2.1 - Irfan to Rohit, 1 run, pitched up outside off, Rohit gets a sort-of-a thick outside edge on the drive, wide of point

1.6 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, still further outside off, the tempter, Dhawan doesn't have anything to do with it

1.5 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, slanted well wide of off, Dhawan shoulders arms

1.4 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, that is a good shot, but straight to the fielder at point, square driven, but Dhawan picks out the fielder

1.3 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, 1 run, angles in and towards off stump, Rohit is stuck on the crease and gets a thick inside edge to backward square leg

1.3 - Sohail Khan to Rohit, wide, drifts down leg, wide called

1.2 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, 1 run, tucked wide of backward square leg, easy single

If that had been reviewed, Pakistan would've wasted their only review. What a waste that would've been. Generally it's the captain who signals for the review. Sohail forgot that and in excitement wanted the review. Misbah did the sensible thing by calming down his players.

1.1 - Sohail Khan to Dhawan, no run, Sohail is asking for a DRS review! Comical scenes as Misbah tells the bowler that Dhawan edged it. Sohail Khan appealed as the slip fielders went up in unison, it swung in and Dhawan jammed it onto the pads, definitely bat first. Misbah is an angry man and tells Sohail to get on with it. Umar and the slip fielders fooled Sohail there, the bowler didn't go up initially, he was made to by his mates

Sohail Khan, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

0.6 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, Umar drops it! But there was no outside edge. Irfan beats Rohit on the angle, drawing the batsman forward with a fuller length delivery and just about moving it away to beat the forward push

0.5 - Irfan to Dhawan, 1 run, Dhawan too is off the mark, Dhawan defends off the back foot and the ball goes to third man, easy single

0.4 - Irfan to Rohit, 1 run, Rohit is off the mark, back of a length outside off, Rohit opens the face of the bat and angles the bat and dabs to square third man, wanted two, slipped a little when he turned back for the 2nd, so sent Dhawan back and rightly so. It was a good throw back to Umar, albeit on the bounce

0.3 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, Irfan makes Rohit play, draws him forward, the batsman defends cautiously to mid-off

Two slips in place

0.2 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, cranks it up a bit, but still the line is outside off, on a back of a length this time, Rohit goes back and then lets it go

0.1 - Irfan to Rohit, no run, angled across on a good length, it's outside off, so Rohit has a sighter, left alone

Rohit and Dhawan are at the crease. Rohit is on strike. Irfan will open the attack
