F Ashraf to S Dhawan, FOUR! GLORIOUS! If Babar's dive was brilliant, Dhawan's drive is ultra-brilliant. A length ball outside off, Dhawan creams this through point and this time no one is stopping that.

F Ashraf to S Dhawan, Excellent fielding! Babar Azam the hero. Full and outside off, Dhawan drives it through the covers and seems to thread the gap but Babar dives to his right and stops the ball. Brilliant.

H Ali to S Dhawan, Full on leg, chipped uppishly towards mid on. The ball nearly went all the way to the fielder. Dhawan initially wanted a single but then sent Rohit back.

H Ali to R Sharma, FOUR! Easy peasy. The length is short, the line is outside leg, the body reaction is the swivel, the stance is head high, the ball direction behind square leg and the final destination - boundary. 50 UP FOR INDIA!

U Khan to R Sharma, Outside off, played towards point. 19 from that over. But a look at Usman's figures - 4-0-27-0 - one will realize that it has been one bad over that has spoilt his spell.

Score46 - 0

U Khan to R Sharma, SIX! Rubbish bowling. Forget where the fine leg is, Usman is not correcting his length at all. Short, six. Short, four. Short, now six. Rohit swivels and pulls it massively over mid-wicket. That nearly hit the roof.

21:33 (IST) Sep 19

FREE HIT TIME!

U Khan to R Sharma, NO BALL, FOUR! First, a mistake. Then a crime. Again, with fine leg up, Usman drops it short. Once more, he is pulled away, this time with authority, behind square leg. Then, the umpire raises his right hand sideways to indicate more misery to Usman, Sarfraz and Pakistan.

Score35 - 0

U Khan to R Sharma, TOP EDGE, SIX! Fine leg was inside the circle and Usman, for some reason, dug it in short. Rohit did not need a second invitation. He instinctively went for the hook but the quickness on the ball did him in. However, the pace also helped him as the ball travelled over the fine leg fence in a flash. 128 more to win.

U Khan to S Dhawan, This is outside off, steered towards third man for a run. 'I think it is time Sarfraz starts to look at other options', quips Aamer Sohail on air.
