Pakistan did hit some quick runs in the last five overs but it proved too little with the massive task at hand. Eventually, they fell 89 runs short (DLS Method). India continue their unbeaten run in the tournament and have now extended their winning streak against Pakistan to seven matches. With the bat, with the ball and on the field, India thoroughly dominated Pakistan. There may be a few questions raised over Sarfraz Ahmed's decision to field after winning the toss but barring Mohammad Amir's spell and a century stand by Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam, there was little going Pakistan's way. This, despite India playing one player short - Bhuvneshwar Kumar - for most parts.

Play has resumed. Yuzvendra Chahal comes out to bowl the 36th over.

The match has been reduced to 40 overs and the target has been revised to 302, which means Pakistan will need 136 more to win from 30 balls. The macth will resume in 8 minutes.

Update 2 from Ganesh: ...Or maybe not. The umpires seem to have dispersed towards the dressing rooms, which is when an update usually comes. I'll keep you posted.

Update from Ganesh: The covers are coming off. But that's a slow process. The umpires are hanging around to check the ground once it's off. So any update will take a little while longer...

RAIN BREAK Rain has stopped play again, and Pakistan - at 166 for 6 - find themselves 86 run behind the DLS par score of 252. Looks like a light shower though at the moment.

WICKET Vijay Shankar has struck again. Sarfraz Ahmed edges the ball back on to the stumps. Sixth wicket down. The skipper falls for a 30-ball 12.

WICKET Shoaib Malik follows. The veteran inside edges the ball on to the stumps. Two wickets in two balls for Hardik Pandya. Pakistan reeling at 129 for 5.
























TOSS Pakistan have won the toss and elected to field, something that Virat Kohli wanted to do as well. Vijay Shankar has come in for Shikhar Dhawan. Pakistan, on the other hand, have brought in both their frontline spinners - Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim - for Asif Ali and Shaheen Afridi.

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

Pakistan (Playing XI): Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w/c), Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir

BUILD UP: Hello and welcome to Match 22 of the ICC World Cup 2019 - India vs Pakistan. From the point of view of viewership and moolah, this is the biggest encounter in cricket. Even as stakes ride high, rain threatens to play spoilsport in Manchester.

One consistent and the other mercurial. India are coming into this clash unbeaten so far in the tournament, while Pakistan need a win desperately to keep their hopes strong. Pakistan have never beaten India in a world cup match, but as Mickey Arthur said, this is an opportunity for the Pakistan players to turn heroes today. What will be? Que Sera Sera.
