UPDATE 20.32 IST (15.02 GMT) – Nothing much to report from the ground as it is still raining in Colombo and the covers are firmly on. However, the cut-off time is 12.00 IST, which means that even if the rain continues for a longer period, we may get a chance to get the required 20 overs to make up the game. If that happens, Pakistan would need 200 to win, which from 44 runs in 11 overs would be an almost impossible task. But that’s the worst-case scenario, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves and hope the rain goes away soon. Stay tuned for more updates. Just a few minutes later the rain has stopped and the covers are peeling off which is excellent news.
UPDATE 20.09 IST (14.39 GMT) – Oh, no! The covers come on. There is a slight drizzle and the referees take the players off the pitch. Slowly but surely it also gets a little heavier. Another unwanted pause in the game, but all we can do is wait. Stay tuned for further updates.
10.6 overs (1 run) Fuller and lit. Mohammad Rizwan comes forward and drives it towards covers for a single to end the over.
10.5 overs (0 runs) On a length and swinging away from around the top of the off stump. Mohammad Rizwan tries to play it close to the body but seems to have missed the connection. The keeper and the bowler appeal, but the umpire has dismissed it. Rohit Sharma has gone for review at the last second and UltraEdge shows a flat line. The ball tracking confirms that the bump is outside the line of the off-stump and India lose both their reviews.
Mohammad Rizwan walks in at number 4.
10.4 overs (0 runs) OUT! Lumber! What a ball from Hardik Pandya. He bowls this fuller and swings onto the cut stump. Babar Azam was left confused by the ball as he put his bat forward in an attempt to drive it on the off side. The ball goes through the wicket and smashes into the stumps and Hardik Pandya has got the big wicket of the number 1 date in ODI cricket right now. Pakistan is looking in trouble now.
10.3 overs (0 runs) Hardik Pandya bowls this one on a good length and on off and middle. Babar Azam blocks it again. A good over from Hardik Pandya so far.
