11:39 hrs IST: Virat Kohli: With the bat and the ball we were right up there, 9 out of 10. In the field we were 6 out of 10. If we tune that up, we will be a very strong side in the tournament. We took the momentum that we gained from the practice games into this game

11:34 hrs IST: Yuvraj: The openers gave us a good start, Virat finished well, and it gave me the opportunity to go and attack. You just have to go and back yourself, and tell the opposition that you’re here to attack. I was lucky I was dropped, but I capitalised and I was hitting it well. I finished well. Hopefully we’ll take this confidence into the next game against Sri Lanka.

11:33 hrs IST: Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match for his amazing 32-ball 53.

11:30 hrs IST: Game, set and match! Umesh Yadav picks up two wickets. Wahab Riaz will not come out to bat and Pakistan have suffered a crushing 124-run loss via Duckworth-Lewis method. This will be a massive blow for Pakistan as they suffer their second loss in ICC Champions Trophy encounters.

11:23 hrs IST: Pakistan will be hoping to not get bowled out so that their net run-rate does not take a beating.

11:16 hrs IST: Catch dropped! Kedar Jadhav the culprit. Shadab looks to launch it over mid wicket and gets a big top edge but Kedar drops it at mid wicket. Poor stuff.

11:09 hrs IST: WICKET! That should be it for Pakistan. Sarfraz looks to guide a short ball from Pandya but gets an edge that is taken by Dhoni. India closing in on a victory.

11:06 hrs IST: Shadab Khan gets going with a four and a six off Jadeja. He is going to fight but Pakistan are in dire straits.

11:03 hrs IST: WICKET! Tame dismissal. Imad Wasim loosely drives Hardik Pandya to short cover where Kedar Jadhav takes the catch.

10:54 hrs IST: Only eight runs in the 26th over. Pakistan need 158 runs off 90 balls. Advantage firmly with India.

10:48 hrs IST: Sarfraz Ahmed gets going with a boundary off Jadeja. He is actually the last of Pakistan’s recognised batsmen. Pakistan are 123/4 after 25 overs. Run-rate has gone over 10.5.

10:45 hrs IST: WICKET! Brilliant fielding from Jadeja. Malik taps it to backward point but Jadeja swoops in and the batsman is sent back, Jadeja on the run scores a direct hit at the striker’s end and Malik is run-out.

10:39 hrs IST: BOOM! First six of the Pakistan innings and Shoaib Malik launches Jadeja down the ground. Slight delay as the ball gets lost in the covers under the sightscreen but it is found.

10:37 hrs IST: Shoaib Malik gets going with a couple of boundaries off Hardik Pandya while Hafeez strikes a boundary off Jadeja. But, the asking rate is just mounting.

10:30 hrs IST: WICKET! Azhar Ali aims to slog sweep as he gets a top edge and Hardik Pandya takes it at deep square leg. More trouble for Pakistan. Azhar Ali c Hardik Pandya b Ravindra Jadeja 50 (65).

10:23 hrs IST: Azhar Ali is nearing a fifty while Mohammad Hafeez slams a boundary off Jadeja. But, Pakistan need a lot more.

10:14 hrs IST: India are doing a Pakistan in the field. Two dropped chances and a misfield. This might be a cause for concern as the tournament progresses.

10:11 hrs IST: Since the dismissal of Babar Azam, Pakistan have been unable to find the boundary. The run-rate is approaching nine.

10:03 hrs IST: Catch dropped! Bhuvneshwar Kumar again. He is having a torrid time in the field. Azhar charges out to Pandya and mistimes the lofted shot to long on, Bhuvi runs in but drops the catch.

10:01 hrs IST: Pakistan could effectively be four down, with injuries to Wahab and Amir. Will they bat? Hardik Pandya into the attack.

9:57 hrs IST: WICKET! Short and wide from Umesh Yadav and Babar Azam hits it straight to point where Ravindra Jadeja takes the catch. Pakistan slipping up.

9:52 hrs IST: The run-rate has gone up to over eight. Pakistan are really struggling. Bumrah misses a run-out of Azhar Ali at the striker’s end.

9:49 hrs IST: Bhuvneshwar bowls a maiden over. It seems like Pakistan just do not want to go after the target.

9:45 hrs IST: The team fifty is up in 10 overs but Pakistan just have 31 overs remaining and they need to score 238 runs.

9:42 hrs IST: WICKET! Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes as he removes Ahmed Shehzad with a short ball that skidded on and the batsman missed the slog. Ahmed Shehzad LBW Bhuvneshwar 12 (22).

9:36 hrs IST: Pakistan find yet another boundary but they are not getting singles and twos. In the last ball of the eighth over, Hardik Pandya misses a run-out of Azhar Ali. That would have made it even harder for Pakistan.

9:32 hrs IST: After seven overs, Pakistan are 32/0. The run-rate is mounting and India are just not getting hassled.

9:28 hrs IST: Jasprit Bumrah spoils a steady over as he concedes a boundary off the last ball to Azhar Ali. The ball was short and wide and Azhar cut it neatly to the deep backward point fence.

9:24 hrs IST: So the equation for Pakistan is 267 runs in 36.1 overs at a run-rate of over seven. Big task ahead.

9:20 hrs IST: This is the beauty of England’s weather. Bleak and gloomy for most part, but suddenly, bright skies greet you. What a sight now in Edgbaston. Hope no further rain interruptions.

9:17 hrs IST: Hold on, the game is starting in nine minutes time. Restart at 9:25 PM IST. Revised target for Pakistan is 289 from 41 overs.

9:14 hrs IST: While you wonder whether the D/L is a boon for chasing teams, check this article by yours truly about how chasing is either an advantage or disadvantage in a rain-curtailed game

9:12 hrs IST: The rain had stopped and a resumption was due at 9:30 PM IST. However, the rain has returned. If play had started at 9:30 hrs IST, the target for Pakistan would have been 289 from 41 overs.

9:07 hrs IST: The rain seems to have stopped. But, there are dark clouds still hovering around. Not sure the covers will come off any time soon.

9:04 hrs IST: The rain has reduced in intensity but it is a drizzle and a persistent one that too.

8:56 hrs IST: In every four minutes, we will lose one over. So technically, the cut-off time for a 20-over game, I feel is 10:30 PM IST.

8:55 hrs IST: With DLS playing a part, the revised target for Pakistan, should it be a 20-over game, will be 173.

8:53 hrs IST: Aargh, here comes the rain again. This time, overs will start reducing immediately and Pakistan’s target will be revised again. Remember, for a result, 20 overs have to be bowled. All the covers are coming back on.

8:49 hrs IST: Azhar Ali gets going with a boundary off Umesh. The bowler just floated on the pads and the batsman hoicked it to the deep mid wicket fence. Pakistan 21/0 in four overs.

8:45 hrs IST: For Pakistan fans, this could be of vital importance to you. However, I get a feeling that they might be praying mighty hard for the rains to come.

8:43 hrs IST: According to accuweather rain forecast, it seems that the dreaded rain is just seven minutes away. This is the big band of rain which was forecast. One can only hope it stays away.

8:41 hrs IST: Dark clouds forming once again in the backdrop. India need to get to the 20-over mark very soon.

8:37 hrs IST: Poor ball from Umesh Yadav and Ahmed Shehzad, Pakistan’s Virat Kohli, neatly glides the cut to the deep backward point fence. First boundary of the Pakistan innings.

8:35 hrs IST: Steady start for Bhuvneshwar as Pakistan reach 4/0 in the first over.

8:31 hrs IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling. Azhar Ali on strike. Ahmed Shehzad at the non-striker’s end. Two slips in place.

8:28 hrs IST: The players back on the field. No rain luckily. Lets hope it stays that way.

8:20 PM IST: Take a break. We will be back after some time.

8:18 PM IST: This is what Yuvraj Singh had to say after his innings:“Delivering in a big game, lucky, got dropped, but capitalised in the end. The partnership between Rohit and Shikhar allowed us to bat deep. It’s a very good batting wicket. Because of the rain interruptions, you have to give yourself time. Hopefully we can get some wickets with the new ball.”

8:16 PM IST: This was when Virat Kohli reached his 50!

7:57 PM IST: SIX! And India cross 300!

7:56 PM IST: Four and then a six! Two magnificent strokes from Kohli, who is now batting on 77

7:55 PM IST: Hardik Pandya has come out to bat for India

7:53 PM IST:OUT! Yuvraj Singh is lbw for 53 by the same guy who dropped him earlier – Hasan Ali

7:50 PM IST: 21 runs in the last over! Wow, some hitting!

7:48 PM IST: Wahab Riaz is off! Two bowlers back in the pavilion for Pakistan. Big blow!

7:46 PM IST: Wahab Riaz is down! Looks like he twisted his right ankle!

7:45 PM IST: This is some serious bashing by India as Yuvraj also brings up half-century
