Innings break conversation:
Yuvraj Singh: "Delivering in the big game (smiles). Lucky (I) got dropped but capitalised in the end. The partnership between Rohit and Shikhar allowed us bat deep. The ball was reversing a bit. So, was standing on off. If they bowled in my areas, I would hit it. It is a very good batting wicket. Due to the rain interruptions, you have to give yourself time. Hopefully, when we bowl we pick up early wickets.

Great finish for India this. Pandya superb.#INDvPAK
The final over:
Hardik Pandya, renowned for his big-hitting abilities, was promoted up the order and he justified his promotion with three successive sixes in the final over. It was followed by a single as rain came down again and Kohli finished it off with a four. 23 came off the final over and 72 off the last four as India finished with a hefty 319 for 3. Pakistan's DLS revised target is 324 in 48 overs.
Yuvraj falls:
Yuvraj fell for 53, trapped in front by Hasan Ali in the 47th over. The umpire had ruled in favour of the batsman but Pakistan decided to use the review and their decision was justified. But the over doesn't end well for Hasan, who ends up being hit for a four and a six by Kohli.
Kohli hits the straps:
It's not every day that Kohli striggles for runs and even if he does, it not for long. Wahab Riaz under the pump as Kohli starts the 46th over with two successive fours followed by a six. A four in the same over gor Yuvraj helps him bring up a 29-ball fifty and it gets worse for Wahab as he has injured himself and has left the field with one ball left in the over. 8.4 overs is what Wahab bowled and he conceded 87 runs.
Struggling Kohli reaches fifty:
Kohli has struggled to get going and he also receives a reprieve as he's put down by sub Fahim Ashraf off Riaz. Yuvraj, on the other hand, isn't finding any problems to score the boundaries. a four off Hasan Ali in the 45th over has helped India past 250. Kohli finally finds the fence, and this time he clears it to bring up a 58-ball half-century.
Yuvraj tees off:
A big over for India, 12 off the Hasan Ali over - a six and a four for Yuvraj - as India move to 242 for 2 after 43. Five more left. Meanwhile, Mohammad Amir has walked off after bowling one ball in the 44th over. He's suffering from cramps and it appears he may not return to complete his quota.
Pakistan keep it tight:
Fine death-overs bowling by Pakistan. Even though Yuvraj Singh has managed a boundary almost every over, things have been quiet otherwise for India with Kohli yet to take off.
Will India follow the norm?
Twice in this tournament already teams have lost their way in the last 10 overs after having set off with a solid start. #CT17 #INDvPAK— Ananthasubramanian (@_chinmusic) June 4, 2017
200 up for India:
A four for Yuvraj Singh off Wahab Riaz in the 38th over helps India past the 200-run mark. They have 10 more overs remaining in their innings. How many can they get? And Yuvraj gets a lucky break in the next over, put down by Hasan Ali off Shadab.
