India vs Pakistan, 6th Match, Group A - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, 2 runs, in the airrrr, put down but very tough! Short slower delivery, the plan to do away with the yorker has worked well so far. Shaheen toe-ends the slog. Tilak ran in at great pace and dived full length forward, in fact he overran so it cleared the hands and hit him on the arm

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, SIX, this is sailing into the stands as well. He's hit four sixes now. It's a low full toss as Hardik missed the yorker, Shaheen got under it and smacked it over long-on

Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, SIX, his hitting on one knee down on the pitch has been sublime today. Full delivery angling away, in the slot and Shaheen muscles it over long-on

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, out Bowled!! He walked right past the stumps and missed this yorker. Tried to help it away fine to past short fine leg but he missed the line, the pace of Bumrah taking it past the bat and hitting base of middle and leg. Bumrah finishes with two wickets but he won't be happy about those two fours. Sufiyan Muqeem b Bumrah 10(6) [4s-2]

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, FOUR, oh this is even better! Short delivery outside off stump, Muqeem backs away and cuts handsomely over backward point for a brilliantly-timed boundary

Bumrah to Sufiyan Muqeem, FOUR, mid-off up and that's a fine shot from Muqeem. Fullish delivery from Bumrah, Muqeem backs away and drives to the left of mid-off

Bumrah to Shaheen Afridi, 1 run, no ball, brilliant yorker that threatens the left boot but Shaheen manages to get bat on ball to avoid a fracture. Oh Bumrah has overstepped

Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, out Lbw!! Too full to sweep, definitely even tougher for the reverse sweep. It's fast and full from Varun for you miss, I hit. Faheem wanted a boundary behind point, missed it. Impact in line with middle stump and smashing leg stump, according to ball-tracker. Faheem Ashraf lbw b Varun Chakaravarthy 11(14) [4s-1]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shaheen Afridi, SIX, this is really smart from Shaheen. He knew Varun is mainly trying to spin it across him, so backed away to free his arms for a slap over wide long-off and he backed himself to clear the man in the deep. Some response that!

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, SIX, that is the cleanest slog-sweep of the day and it's come from Shaheen. Front leg cleared, back knee on the ground, full swing of the bat and mighty maximum over mid-wicket

Kuldeep Yadav to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! This is high, taken nicely by Hardik. Great fielding but let's first talk about Kuldeep's shrewd bowling. He knew Farhan was itching to take him on so he pushed this full and wide of off to make the batter fetch the shot. Farhan didn't hold back, he thought he could have a big piece of this googly but only met with the bottom of the bat. Hardik was moving swiftly to the left from long-on, took it overhead and ensured the momentum wasn't taking him to the ropes. Sahibzada Farhan c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 40(44) [4s-1 6s-3]

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, smashed over extra cover! Half-tracker outside off, rare from Kuldeep and Ashraf makes room to slap it away. Nearly a six off the back foot, but it goes on the bounce

Axar to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, Farhan the only one who's holding this innings together. Backs away, gets a delivery that's slightly short and pounces. Pulls it away to the midwicket boundary

Axar to Sahibzada Farhan, no run, Farhan reviews after being given out LBW! Seemed to be going down leg. Sharp in-drift from round the wicket, slides in with the arm as well and goes past the inside edge in defence. It's missing leg stump easily, another wrong decision on the field

Kuldeep Yadav to Nawaz, out Lbw!! Again the finger goes up from Masudur Rahman. Has he got it right this time? We'll find out soon enough as Nawaz has reviewed. Googly turning in from off, he doesn't pick it and is trapped in the crease. And yes, ball-tracking confirms that it would've crashed into leg stump. Three reds and a golden duck for Nawaz. Kuldeep on a hattrick! Nawaz lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 0(1)

Kuldeep Yadav to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Axar!! The dropped catch doesn't prove costly as Kuldeep gets him the very next ball. Tossed up on the stumps, Nawaz goes for a big slog-sweep but only manages a thick top-edge. Goes straight up and Axar tracks it down from his position at slip. Hasan Nawaz c Axar b Kuldeep Yadav 5(7)

Kuldeep Yadav to Hasan Nawaz, no run, dropped! Kuldeep flew to his right, got both hands to it but couldn't hold on. Googly across off, holds on Nawaz as he tries punching off the back foot and he's early through the shot. Mistimes it in the air wide of Kuldeep. Difficult chance and down it goes

Axar to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, he's got enough on this one! Good use of the feet, reaches the pitch of the ball and whacks it down the ground

Abhishek Sharma to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, tossed up at 82kph, lands in the blockhole on off and Farhan squeezes it to long-off

Axar to Salman Agha, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! This is such good bowling from Axar who pumps his fists after getting his man. Slower through the air outside off, 85kph, lands on a length and it kicks up on Salman as he goes for the sweep shot. It goes in the air off a thick top-edge and Abhishek takes a comfortable catch at the square leg boundary. India fully in control at the halfway stage. Salman Agha c Abhishek Sharma b Axar 3(12)

Varun Chakaravarthy to Salman Agha, no run, appeal for LBW and it doesn't take long for the umpire to raise his finger. Salman has decided to go for the review. It's a googly on middle and leg, he tries to go for the paddle-scoop but misses completely. However, ball-tracking confirms the initial suspicion that it was easily missing leg stump because of the turn

Axar to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Fakhar does try to take the match-up on but he perishes! He had to go after the left-arm spinner at this stage. Comes dancing down the track for a big hit, Axar fires it in from round the wicket, slants it across him and manages to produce the miscue. Goes high in the air and Tilak makes no mistakes coming in from long-on. Fakhar Zaman c Tilak Varma b Axar 17(15) [4s-3]

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, that's into the second tier! Second six from Farhan off Bumrah and he's not holding back. Angling into the body, short of length delivery at 133kph, and he gets a good piece of it as he pulls over backward square

Varun Chakaravarthy to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, Varun under attack! Down the track comes Fakhar, gets right to the pitch of the ball, not allowing it any room to turn. Absolutely drills it back past the bowler

Bumrah to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, that's some shot against Bumrah! Good length ball angled in, Farhan sets himself up nicely in the crease, keeps a steady base and launches it through the line. He has nailed it into the crowd over wide long-on. If that doesn't get him going, nothing will

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, loose delivery and punished! Low full toss swinging into the pads, all Fakhar has to do is make decent contact and he does so, flicking it through midwicket

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, pulled away into the boundary! Second time he's dug it in short to Fakhar, this time it's over his right shoulder and he swivels across to help it fine

Bumrah to Fakhar Zaman, no run, Fakhar goes up quickly for the review after being given out LBW! It's a cracking inswinging yorker that strikes him on the boot but it seemed leg-sidish in real time. Yep, ball-tracking confirms the impact is outside leg. But what a ball. Previous delivery beat him on the outside edge, now he brings it back in with immaculate precision to hit the boot

Bumrah to Mohammad Haris, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! The aggressive approach from Haris hasn't lasted too long. Of the five balls he played, three were attempted slogs and this third one has gone to hand. Back of a length around off, looks to heave it through the on-side, gets a thick top-edge as it climbs on him and Hardik makes this look easy. It went a long way up behind square and he had to cover a lot of ground. Moves in smartly from long leg and hangs on with both hands. Mohammad Haris c Hardik Pandya b Bumrah 3(5)

Hardik Pandya to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Bumrah!! Straight to point from Ayub and Hardik strikes with his first legitimate delivery. He bowled the inswinger before this that went down the leg-side, now follows it up with the outswinger and Ayub can't help but go chasing. Back of a length outside off, shaping away, he punches on the up and it's straight to Bumrah at point. What is he doing there? But he takes it safely anyway. Saim Ayub c Bumrah b Hardik Pandya 0(1)
