Time for some refreshments as drinks are on the field now. The Indian batters have dominated so far and are dealing in boundaries here. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have brought up their fifties and are looking in good touch out there in the middle. India are looking at a very high total from here. The bowlers ave failed to bowl to their strengths. Naseem Shah bowled a good spell but with no such support from the other end. Pakistan should look for wickets out here as there are many other batters to come. Some quick wickets might help to restrict India from posting a high total on the board. Either way, it will be an interesting match to watch.
