37.6
Hardik Pandya to Shoaib Malik, no run, short ball and a good one. Shoaib Malik is in two minds. Wants to pull but sees that the ball is coming into him, withdraws late but in time

37.3
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, no run, corrects the line and to some extent length as well. Is full on off, driven back to the bowler
37.2
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, FOUR, he is turning it on. Pakistan's Kohli. That's what someone called him once. Uses the angle on his hips and tucks through fine leg. Off to the fence in no time
37.1
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, FOUR, that's twice as much width as a batsman of Babar Azam's caliber would need. Was short as well, slashed it over backward point. Third man had no chance to his right
35.6
Hardik Pandya to Shoaib Malik, no run, short ball and Shoaib Malik tries to keep the pull along the ground. Does so but in doing so messes the timing and the placement, finds mid-wicket
35.5
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, 1 run, slices the drive on the up to sweeper cover
35.4
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, FOUR, mid-wicket is in the ring and Babar Azam capitalizes. Stands tall on the front foot and heaves across the line. Not a wild heave, a calculated one to get over the man in the ring, races away

33.1
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Jadeja!! Jadeja has a fleet of horses and he runs like those. This time backwards from backward point and just when the commentator on air is about to say that it might fall in the safe land, Jaddu proves him wrong. Takes it with ease. Fakhar Zaman cleared his front leg and then tried to whack it, sliced off the outer part of the bat sending it high over the point region. There were a few men interested in it. But guess who reached first. But what an innings from Fakhar Zaman. Pakistan owe him this one. What an occasion to get your maiden ton. ps: Jadeja was following the ball which was over his head, going away from him. Brilliant fielding skills. Fakhar Zaman c Jadeja b Hardik Pandya 114(106) [4s-12 6s-3]
31.6
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, 2 runs, Dhawan runs to his left from deep square leg and saves two. Did not look like a well-timed pull from Babar Azam but went through those practice pitches region and got the pace to test Dhawan near the fence. Had to put in a dive there

31.3
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 2 runs, Pakistan have run well today. This time it is a mistimed pull that evades Kohli's dive to his left at short mid-wicket. The fielder from the deep has to cover a few yards and the batsmen sense the second run
31.2

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, lines himself up with the stumps. Helps the angle going away with a delicate push into the covers
27.2
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, the gloved pull. Enough off the bat. Throws his hands up compulsively at the sight of the short one and takes his eyes off for a change. The outcome doesn't. Past the keeper
27.1
Hardik Pandya to Babar Azam, 1 run, width. With a warm up length. A flat batted fence
20.6

20.5
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, jabs. The short arm one. A drag down once again, this time sitting up on the hips for an angry swat. On the bounce to a mopping up, punished Yuvi at the mid-wicket fence
20.4
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, 1 run, 137kph, the shortened bumper. Minus the venom. Could also be the timing these two have managed. A no full pull to follow
20.3
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, a quick shuffle helping himself inside the line. To unleash a calm tuck
20.2
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, 1 run, too straight. Nipping in a touch off the turf as well. All lining up for a glance around the corner
20.1
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, no run, stands up tall, gets behind the line and pushes it out in defence
18.6
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, no run, the skiddy lifter. Takes off a length and coaxes Zaman into believing it to be high enough to pouch an extra. Importantly, the umpire doesn't think so
18.5
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, 1 run, back to the short tester. A glide deep, a swivel and a swish. Rather mistimed. In taking matters off the lob behind square
18.4
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, no run, lines himself up, stays beside the line and clings onto a defensive push into the covers
18.3
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, the fielding falling apart now. Certainly when Jadeja switches off. A square steer this from Zaman, pops right off the safest Indian palms at point
18.2
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, no run, flat feet, dangling tentative blade. The right arm over angle takes the ball across, not before a nibling from Zaman
18.1

16.4
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, 1 run, in the airrrrrr and safe. Things going Pakistan's way until now. This is a poor shot and could have been easily landed in someone's hands. Azhar Ali lost his shape as he tried to launch this ball on the on-side, hit the splice of the bat and flew to the left of mid-off, evaded Rohit and the man moving back from cover
16.3

14.2
Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, no run, oh a good short delivery on the stumps, Fakhar Zaman was surprised, hit him around the right chest. No harm done though
14.1
Hardik Pandya to Azhar Ali, leg byes, 1 run, there seemed to be an inside edge onto pad, but given as leg byes. No edge, the replay confirms. India thought long about the review and turned back to their places. This could have been umpire's call on impact - probably just outside off stump - even if reviewed. Oh yes, umpire's call it is according to HawkEye
