Abrar Ahmed to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Haris Rauf!! Good catch by long-on. Rauf takes it and flings the ball away in frustration. Abrar Ahmed bowls it on a length and well wide outside off, forces Abhishek Sharma to drag the pull, there's no timing on this as a result, Rauf comes in and sinks to his knees to take it well. Abhishek stands there in disappointment before going off. End of a tremendous innings which has put India well ahead. Abhishek Sharma c Haris Rauf b Abrar Ahmed 74(39) [4s-6 6s-5]

Fantastic innings from Abhishek so far

Abrar Ahmed to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, dropped by Sahibzada at long-off. This is short on middle, Abhishek Sharma goes on the back foot and pulls, Sahibzada is moving to his left at long-off and is close to the cushions - that's on his mind, it hits the hands hard and pops outside the cushions. There was deep mid-wicket too coming towards him, he could have taken it and lobbed it to him. Instead a life for Abhishek

2.3
Shaheen Afridi to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, just a hand to it from Nawaz at mid-wicket. He sticks the right hand out and it doesn't stick. A pacy short delivery at Abhishek Sharma, who is rushed on the pull, off the top of the bat and lobs wide of Nawaz, who is a tad slow to move, lunges out with the right hand and just about gets something on it, would have been a fine catch had he held on
2.2
Shaheen Afridi to Abhishek Sharma, no run, a back of the hand slower-ball and very full on the stumps, Abhishek Sharma gets forward to drive and the thick inside-edge hits the right leg and rolls back

0.1
6
Shaheen Afridi to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, Abhishek Sharma starts with a six. And then has a go at Shaheen Afridi. Some words between the two. It's short outside the leg-stump, Abhishek swivels and pulls, the top-edge flies all the way and behind Haris. In the first game against Pakistan in this tournament, Abhishek charged Shaheen and hit him straight down the ground for four. This time, Shaheen goes short and Abhishek doesn't show any mercy. What a start and to add spice - words as well
