Arshdeep Singh to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! The last ball releases a little pressure that was building. Nicely played by Rizwan. He is aware about the ball coming back in and hence does not plant his front foot across. Arshdeep Singh goes for the inswinging yorker but ends up bowling a full toss. It is worked down to fine leg for a boundary. First of the game.
Arshdeep Singh to Shan Masood, Run out chance goes abegging! How did Virat Kohli miss from there? Shan Masood, what were you just doing? Clear signs of nerves. There was never a run there. In the end though, he made it in. On off, this is pushed towards mid off and Masood takes off. Kohli picks the ball up and he is quite close to the stumps. He has a shy but misses. Masood was nowhere in the picture. Kohli probably had more time than he thought. Masood though is off the mark and that should settle the nerves for him too.
Arshdeep Singh to Shan Masood, BEATEN AGAIN! Now goes back to taking it away. This is a little wider outside off. Masood goes after it but misses.
Arshdeep Singh to Shan Masood, Outstanding from Arshdeep Singh and this is very tough for Pakistan. Especially against two bowlers who can swing the ball both the ways! This is on off and he brings it back in this time. It comes in way too much. Masood looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.
Arshdeep Singh to Shan Masood, BEATEN! That is a beauty! Lovely away shape! It is on a length and around off, moves away. Masood is beaten as he tries to defend.
Shan Masood walks in at number 3.
Arshdeep Singh to Babar Azam, A HUGE APPEAL AND THE FINGER IS RAISED! Babar has a first-baller or does he? He has taken it upstairs but that looks out. Ultra Edge shows no bat and now it is time for Ball Tracking and it shows THREE REDS! OUT! Babar does walk back on the very first ball he faces and the crowd here erupts. That is a body blow for Pakistan. Their skipper walks back for a duck and this is a tremendous start for India and Arshdeep Singh who is playing his first World Cup game. He gets probably the best batter in Pakistan's line-up. We have seen Azam having problems against a left-arm seamer who brings the ball back in and that is case here again. Arshdeep starts on middle and gets it to tail back in. Bowls it full and lets the ball do its part. Azam plants his front foot a little too across and then tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. A huge shout and the finger is raised.
Who will bowl from the other end? It is Arshdeep Singh.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, A superb start by Kumar! Half an appeal on the last ball but turned down! Length and outside off, Rizwan looks to defend by stepping outside the line of off. He misses to get hit on the pads.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, WIDE! That is outstanding from Dinesh Karthik! Just brilliant. Kumar looks to bring the ball back in but bowls it down the leg side. This swings away even further after going past the batter. Dinesh Karthik dives to his left and stops it brilliantly. Saves four for his side. Pakistan though are underway courtesy the extra.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, Swing and a miss again! Yet again Rizwan plays that well away from his body. This one swings away, it is well outside off. Rizwan slashes but misses.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, Tidy from Kumar so far! Another one on a length and on off, defended.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, BEATEN! That is loose from Rizwan. That was well away from his body. Too early probably to play something like that! Shorter and outside off, Rizwan goes after it but with no foot movement. He is beaten.
Mohammad Rizwan gets hit on his right thumb. He is feeling the pain. The physio is out.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, That is nasty! Rizwan is in pain. That ball has taken off. On a length and around off, this lands and there is extra bounce. Rizwan is hit on the glove as he tries to defend.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Mohammad Rizwan, That is a beauty to begin with! Some shape away for Kumar! It is on a length and just outside off. Left alone.
