The India-Pakistan match began with fireworks as Rohit Sharma dispatched Shaheen Afridi for a towering six in the first over. But it was Shubman Gill who took the attack to Afridi during the powerplay, unsettling his rhythm. While Gill was aggressive, Rohit adopted a cautious approach against Naseem's pace. Their precision partnership saw India rapidly reach 50 in just 8.2 overs. Gill scored freely while Rohit anchored prudently. At the powerplay end, India was 61-0. Gill notched up a sublime 37-ball fifty. Rohit then launched an assault on Shadab Khan to bring up his 42-ball fifty too. The day's play had to be suspended for heavy rain. Match will resume tomorrow from the point it stopped. India is 147/2, with Virat (8*) and KL Rahul (17*) still batting.
