Hardik proves the difference in tense India-Pakistan clash

2.4 to Babar Azam, short ball, top edges to short fine leg, who takes the catch! Pakistan lose their captain early. Bouncer from Kumar and it got big on Babar as he looked to pull it to square leg. India draw first blood. 15/1

16.3 to Asif Ali, Holes out to Surya at long-off. Slower legcutter from Bhuvneshwar. Asif lofts in the air, does not get enough elevation. Picks out Surya at the boundary. Pakistan sink further in Dubai. 112/6

18.2 to Shadab Khan, Bhuvneshwar spins around for an lbw appeal and the finger goes up. Shadab challenges the on-field out decision. Very full and ducks back in to catch the batter on the crease. Did Shadab nick this? Ultra Edge does not detect a spike when ball passes bat. The tracker returns three reds and Shadab has to go. 128/8

18.3 to Naseem Shah, another lbw appeal, and the finger goes up once again. Pakistan goes for a review once again. Full again from Bhuvneshwar, skids back in to ping the pad on the knee-roll. Not bat involved. Ball-tracking suggests it would have shaved the top of the stumps. Umpire’s call and Naseem bags a golden duck on debut. 128/9
