When we return for the chase, you'll have Hemant Brar bringing the first ten overs. Will Hong Kong play fearless cricket in the powerplay? And how will India work around having only five full-time bowlers in the XI? Those are the two big questions as we take a short break between innings.

Here's Suryakumar on the mic: "I haven't practiced those strokes before, but when I was younger with my friends, we would play a lot of rubber ball cricket on hard surfaces. So the shots have come there. When I was sitting inside with Rishabh and Rohit bhai, I told them I want to get the tempo higher to try and reach around 170. I feel it is a good score on this wicket."

7.40pm A couple of Hong Kong players congratulate Suryakumar after that innings. A 98-run partnership at a run-rate of 14 has lifted India to 192 for 2. Suryakumar makes 68 in 26, Kohli gets 59 in 44 and Hong Kong have quite a mountain to climb.

Arshad's three overs go for 53, but there were some positives for Hong Kong, keeping India down to only 70 in the first ten overs. Rohit did look good in his 13-ball 21, but there will be some questions asked of KL Rahul's batting touch, where he struggled to reach a 39-ball 36 despite trying all sort of shots. Also props to Ehsan Khan and Yasim Murtaza, who although going wicketless, conceded less than seven per over.

Saalik: "Oh my god 60 runs in boundaries of 68 you beauty SKY"

Khizar shah: "Such a shame Surya Kumar Yadav came onto international scene this late"

Fahim Rahman: "A batsman came to bat at 14th over and scored 68 runs is something i never seen before. SKY has no limit."

Akbar: "After this performance I am pretty sure we have a new T20 No.1 Batter." -- Good one, it is very much possible. Suryakumar is world No. 3 right now, 18 rating points behind No. 1 Babar Azam.

Haroon Arshad to Yadav, 2 runs, a 26-run over to end the innings and India finish on an imposing 192 for 2. Length ball outside off. Suryakumar comes down the track and tries to hit it over cover, but mistimed. Ball rolls away to long on and Kohli pushes SKY for the second. Hong Kong need 193 to win

Haroon Arshad to Yadav, SIX, fourth six of the over as this slow length delivery on his body is pulled behind square. Bit of a top edge as it goes behind the keeper for six more. Crowd catch too, it appears!
