India vs Pakistan Live Score: India take on Pakistan with both teams starting their ICC Champions Trophy 2017 campaign.
India vs Pakistan, once again, showed why this is highly followed match. India were invited to bat first by Pakistan and after a slow start, India openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put on 136-run stand before Dhawan was dismissed for 68. Then Kohli took over and with Rohit carried on the innings. The Indian innings was interrupted twice but Rohit looked good for a hundred. Unfortunately, he was run-out for 91 as his bat remained in air, even though he had made it to his crease. But Yuvraj then rolled back years and smashed 53 runs off 32 balls to take India closer to 300 before he was dimissed. Kohli, who had struggled throughout for timing, suddenly looked marvelous. He remained unbeaten on 81. Hardik Pandya hit three six in the final over as India posted 319/3 in 48 overs.

6:54 pm: Four and a six from Rohit Sharma! Boundary after a long time for India. Fifty partnership up between Kohli and Rohit. Can they guide India to a big total in 48 overs?
6:47 pm: India 174/1 after 34 overs – After the revised playing conditions, India need to re-think their strategy. They need quick runs. 14 overs remaining in the innings.

05:04 pm: India 103/0 after 19.3 overs: Consecutive boundaries from Dhawan. 100-run stand between Rohit and him. 100 up for India as well. Runs coming rather quickly now!
05:02 pm: FIFTY! Rohit Sharma gets a short one from Shadab Khan, he rocks back on the backfoot and sends it over midwicket for a six. Half-century for Rohit!
05:01 pm: Safe! Rohit sweeps from outside off and the ball goes up in the air. Shouts of catch but it will fall between the long-on and deep square-leg fielder. Some luck for Rohit
04:57 pm: India 87/0 after 18 overs: A good over from Wahab. Some tight line and length. Only three runs as he cramped the batsmen for room. Shadab to continue for Pakistan
4:55 pm: India 84/0 after 17 overs: Five singles in the Shadab over. India now scoring at five runs per over. This could be a tricky surface but anything close to or over 300 should be par for India
04:49 pm: India 69/0 after 15.3 overs: Bit of mix up between Dhawan and Rohit. Dhawan sent back Rohit, who was looking for a second run. He slips and then has to dive. The throw wasn’t so great!
Getting to 5/over now. Batsmen must have communicated what a good score is on this track. If India get 300 enough most days
