India innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
G Gambhir	c Shahid Afridi b Iftikhar Anjum	35	57	32	4	0	109.37
10.3 Caught at covers by Afridi. Gambhir had come down the track, as is his wont, and flashed a length delivery inside-out to covers. The bat-handle turned a bit in his hands and he couldn't clear the fielder 88/1
V Sehwag	c †Sarfraz Ahmed b Abdur Rauf	49	64	33	6	2	148.48
11.1 huge shout for a catch behind decision and after consultation with the square leg umpire it has been referred to third umpire. It is a clean catch. Sehwag tried to dab a length delivery outside off stump to third man and it ran off the face of the bat. Catch the highlights of Sehwag's breezy knock later on in the day. Click here. [Only for USA viewers] 90/2
SK Raina	c Salman Butt b Abdur Rauf	1	12	6	0	0	16.66
11.6 Another wicket goes down. Pakistan roar back into the game. It was dug in short and Raina went for the pull but had to fetch it from outside off and top edged it to Salman at deep midwicket region. Raina had jumped to defend the last two deliveries but decided to go after this one. Enter Dhoni. 91/3
Yuvraj Singh	c †Sarfraz Ahmed b Iftikhar Anjum	37	38	32	4	1	115.62
18.2 Sarfraz takes a flying catch. Yuvraj has to head back to the hutch. Yuvraj tried to late cut a short-of-length delivery leaving him, got a thick edge and Sarfraz flew to his left to take the catch. Super stuff from the man who has replaced Kamran Akmal. Yuvraj had not moved his feet; he just bent the back leg and tried to steer it. Fatal. 129/4
MS Dhoni*†	c †Sarfraz Ahmed b Sohail Tanvir	76	150	96	4	0	79.16
48.4 Fast full toss on the leg side. Dhoni shovels it in the air towards square leg and Sarfraz rushes on, collides with Misbah, coming in from midwicket, but manages to hold on 290/7
RG Sharma	c Abdur Rauf b Iftikhar Anjum	58	81	71	4	0	81.69
41.3 Done in by the head-high bouncer. Rohit Sharma was standing outside the crease and skied his pull to deep square leg region. 241/5
YK Pathan	c Nasir Jamshed b Saeed Ajmal	0	6	4	0	0	0.00
42.5 First ODI wicket for Ajmal. Does Yusuf in by the doosra. It was on the middle and leg, Yusuf tried to loft it over the on side but it broke away and flew off the edge to long-off. Ajmal, who had just dropped YK, rushed towards Sarfraz to celebrate his special moment. 249/6
IK Pathan	not out	38	34	25	4	0	152.00

Salman Butt	run out (Gambhir/†Dhoni)	36	40	31	6	0	116.12
7.6 IK Pathan to Nasir Jamshed, Oh what a mix up. Butt is run out. Agony for Pakistan while the Indians get into a huddle of joy. It was steered to left of third man and Gambhir fired in the throw. Butt had turned for the second, only to be sent back by his new opening partner and couldn't make it back in time. 65/1
Nasir Jamshed	retired hurt	53	99	43	9	0	123.25
18.5 from YK Pathan, flat, on a length outside off, Jamshed plays it towards point, go for a quick single , the throw came in at the non-striker's end but Nasir reaches in time but he is down on the ground now. Cramps. The physio is out there. 121/1
