The pitch has been two-paced and offered sideways movement. There is turn but for Pakistan, their pacers getting going is key. For India, Rohit is likely to launch an attack. Will he get going? Will Gill bat like a dream or be stopped? What about Kohli? Find out in the chase, which will start around 5:20pm local time. Deiva will be in.

Javed Iqbal: "India played 8 Matches in Dubai and never lost a single match." This is the eighth, but there is one tied match in there too

Farooq Sabir Ka: "How many dot balls in Pakistan's innings...?" 147

Saud Shakeel: (On his wicket) I was taking a chance, but it was not a good time to get out. Earlier, the ball was not coming onto bat nicely. There was swing too. Pitch was slightly on the slower side. We have to take early wickets to put pressure on them.

saad: "Does any factor make this score defendable by any stretch of imagination?" Dew is unlikely to come on, but if it does, India are more likely to benefit from it.

Krishna: "Hear me!!! Hear me!!! The 17 extras are going to make the difference!!!!"

Babar looked good but was taken out by Pandya, almost against the run of play. Imam started slow and was run out looking for a non-existent single. Shakeel and Rizwan started slow but the former went through the gears nicely. They looked to accelerate, which created chances before Axar broke the 104-run stand. Hardik, who showed excellent control with his lengths, got Shakeel out on the pull. Salman and Khushdil added 35 for the sixth wicket. The eighth and ninth-wicket stands combined to add 41 crucial runs.

4:51pm: 241. Which is the happier side? There are upsides for both. Pakistan's key batters got starts but couldn't score quickly, India got wickets in clusters but gave away 17 extras and conceded a hundred stand and a couple over 30. The benefit, especially for the neutral, is that neither team seems to have run away with the game.

Harshit to close off. Just one wicket to go. Can Khushdil bat it out?

Effective free hit. Short fine has gone back
