India vs Pakistan Live Score: Rohit Sharma Wins Toss
The flip of the coin has gone India's way and Rohit Sharma has elected to bowl first in this big, big game against Pakistan.
And the big question - is Shubman Gill playing? Yes, he is! The opener returns to the Indian XI after missing the first two games while recovering from dengue. Ishan Kishan makes way for him in the line-up.
“Gill is back in place of Ishan, unfortunate for Ishan to miss out, feel for him, he stepped up when we needed him. Gill has been a special player for us over the past year or so, especially at this ground and we wanted him back,” said Rohit.
“It's a good track, not going to change much, dew could be a big factor and keeping that in mind, we want to bowl first. We want to keep striving for the best, we want to come out there and give our best in every game. Keeping the atmosphere in the team relaxed is the most important thing in a tournament like this,” he added.
Babar Azam says Pakistan are playing an unchanged XI.
“We were looking to field as well. We have had good two wins. Momentum is very high and we want to continue that. Jampacked stadium, we are enjoying our opportunity, and just want to enjoy. We have to be good in the field. We have had good practice sessions,” said the Pakistan captain.

Pakistan 120/2 after 23 overs
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Halfway Through The Innings
The 50-run partnership has come from the Babar-Rizwan duo in 70 balls! Before it's too late, Rohit Sharma should re-introduce Bumrah into the attack to build some pressure!

Pakistan 125/2 after 25 overs

Pakistan 156/3 after 30 overs
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Rizwan Approaching Fifty
As we head into the second drinks break of the match, it will be difficult to say who which team will be the happier of the two after 31 overs. Mohammad Rizwan is approaching his half-century, but certainly, with Babar's dismissal, India are ready to strike with renewed vigour.
Pakistan – 157/3 in 31 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Shakeel Looking Comfortable
Mohammed Siraj's plan against Saud Shakeel is pretty evident – bowl outside off and lure the southpaw into a shot. One of those deliveries nearly fetched the pacer an outside edge, but barring that, Shakeel has looked comfortable.
Pakistan – 162/3 in 32 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Kuldeep Strikes Twice
TWO WICKETS!
Kuldeep Yadav has absolutely dented Pakistan's progress here with two wickets in the blink of an eye.
Saud Shakeel, who we had mentioned was looking comfortable against pace, has been outdone by spin. Kuldeep Yadav's delivery pitches on the leg stump and then straightens, striking Shakeel on the pads. The initial appeal was ignored by umpire Marais Erasmus, but India are third time lucky with DRS, as the replays showed three reds.
The next batter, Iftikhar Ahmad's stay was a very short one. Opening his account with a boundary, he tried to attempt a sweep but ended up dragging the ball into the stumps.
Pakistan – 166/5 after 33 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Rizwan Departs
MORE WICKETS!
You can call the term detrimental, but out of nowhere, Pakistan indeed have choked here. Babar's dismissal triggered a collapse, which has now resulted in Mohammad Rizwan's wicket. Failing to read a Jasprit Bumrah off-cutter, the wicketkeeper-batter saw his stumps getting dismantled while being just one run shy of a half-century.
Pakistan – 168/6 after 34 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Another One Bites The Dust
Another one bites the dust! Jasprit Bumrah has worked his magic yet again and bowled out Shadab Khan neck and crop! What a dismissal, this! A length delivery, outside off stump that Shadab looked to fend and the bails clipped! The batter looks shellshocked. Pakistan's crumbling!
Pakistan – 171/7 after 36 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Pakistan Shambling!
Any Indian who went to stock up their snacks must've come to a pleasant surprise, courtesy- Bumrah and Siraj! Hasan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz are currently holding the fort for the visitors.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Another Wicket!
After those quick blows, Hasan Ali is taking on the bowlers to hit boundaries and keep the scoreboard ticking. Woah! Muhammad Nawaz is walking back towards the pavilion has the last Hardik Pandya delivery got the better of him. He's out caught by Bumrah at mid-on! What a collapse!
Pakistan – 187/8 after 40 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Blink and Gone!
Pakistan have lost yet another wicket with a blink of an eye! Hasan Ali gives a dolly to Shubman Gill and now it's only a matter of few minutes before we see the players walking back out of the ground to buckle up for the second innings.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: It's Over For Pakistan
The crowd is on their feet and the bowlers right on money! Jadeja strikes and Haris Rauf is out LBW!!!

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav On The Mic
"The wicket was a bit slow. We were focusing on the length. They were not attacking too much so I was just focusing on my pace and my variations. I was bowling very well. Not too much width because of the field restrictions. They weren't trying too much. Rizwan didn't sweep me a lot so I wanted to make him play the bad shot. I've been watching Saud Shakeel the last couple of games and he'd been trying to sweep a lot. He thought that ball was slow but it skidded on. Unbelievable to play in front of this crowd. This atmosphere is crazy, playing against Pakistan and seeing close to 90,000 people here." - Kuldeep Yadav
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Run Chase Begins
The run-chase begins! Skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will open with the bat for India. Shaheen Afridi will start with the ball for the visitors!

India – 10/0 after 1 over.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Gill Gets Going
Hasan Ali will share the ball with Afridi. He starts with two dots and the third one is sent away for a gorgeous boundary to long-off from Shubman Gill's bat. Another one! Gill gets going and how! This a saga at the Narendra Modi Stadium that just keeps giving.
India – 22/0 after 2 overs.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: Afridi Strikes
Afridi is back for the third over. Oh my god! What just happened? Afridi has dismissed Gill in just the third over of the game. Gill looked to slam the Shaheen delivery for a boundary but it didn't get enough elevation and went straight into Shadab Khan's hands at backward point.
India – 23/1 after 3 overs.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Jasprit Bumrah, POTM
"It felt good. Usually you try to analyse the wicket as soon as possible. We realised the wicket is on the slower side so we wanted to bowl hard lengths. We were trying to make it as difficult as possible. (On how he reads pitches quickly and understands what lengths work) Just being aware I guess. I used to ask a lot of questions when I was young and that helps me now. Now I'm experienced. In my younger days they (seniors) were used to being troubled by me sometimes (with questions), but it helps to read the wicket and try different options. (On the slower ball to get rid of Rizwan) We were bowling in the middle overs and I saw Jaddu's ball was turning, not too much but a little bit. I count my slower ball as a spinner's slower ball, one of those days where it came off. (On the ball that got Shadab) Little phase where there was reverse swing, one of the occasions when the white ball was reverse swinging." - Jasprit Bumrah, Player of The Match
