7.3 Sohail Khan to RG Sharma, OUT, Sharma has a brain freeze. He does that every now and then. Makes up his mind to play a particular shot even before the ball is bowled. Here he has decided this has to be pulled no matter what. The ball is not short enough, he is pulling off the front foot, and the ball gets big on him. The top edge lobs up for a simple catch for Misbah running in from mid-off. A typical Sharma dismissal
RG Sharma c Misbah-ul-Haq b Sohail Khan 15 (35m 20b 2x4 0x6) SR: 75.00
10.5 Shahid Afridi to Kohli, 1 run, Oh nearly there for Shah. Slightly short, Kohli pulls but this is not the length to pull. So the ball goes in the air, and down the ground. Yasir Shah charges towards it from long-on. Running in front and to his right. The ball begins to drop alarmingly as he gets closer. He dives. Gets hands to it, but it is by his shoe laces and he is diving. Can't hold on. Really difficult chance. Would have been an absolute blinder had he controlled this. Would have been one for the ages
31.5 Haris Sohail to Kohli, no run, now brace for a familiar comment. Akmal has dropped a catch. This is a superb delivery for a part-time bowler. On a length, dipping, turning enough to take the edge, but Akmal - the part-time keeper - drops it. Just grabs at it. The ball hits the thumb as opposed to the glove accepting the ball. These deflections are never easy, but you expect them to be taken at international level
42.1 Shahid Afridi to Kohli, 1 run, that's it. Kohli becomes the first Indian to score a hundred in a World Cup match against Pakistan. Short of a length. Punched to long-on. Raina is celebrating more than Kohli, running with his hand raised. Kohli raises his arms and just soaks in the applause. He has scored a hundred each time he has batted in Adelaide on this tour
3.2 Mohammed Shami to Younis Khan, OUT, oh sharp bouncer. That will be sweet to India who are usually the ones who struggle against bouncers. Khan has moved across even before the ball is delivered. Shami gets one in aimed at Khan's head. He is in position. He is ducking but can't duck. He is pulling but can't pull. The hands move in slow motion for the pull, and the ball hits the glove to lob up to Dhoni
Younis Khan c †Dhoni b Mohammed Shami 6 (13m 10b 1x4 0x6)
23.2 Yadav to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, short and wide, and Shehzad has picked out Jadeja who has nearly dropped him. That is the lucky break India needed. This is a bad ball. It has been absolutely creamed but Shehzad has failed to keep it down. Jadeja lets it pop out, but he keeps his eye on it, and takes the rebound with the left hand
Ahmed Shehzad c Jadeja b Yadav 47 (95m 73b 5x4 0x6)
45.4 Mohammed Shami to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, and Misbah misses the century again. A good bouncer. Over his left shoulder. Head high. All Misbah manages is a lob to mid-on
Misbah-ul-Haq c Rahane b Mohammed Shami 76 (118m 84b 9x4 1x6)
