    I reckon we'll have more threes in this World Cup than we've seen before, the outfield is very slow.

  2. Ind 24-2

    Tidy bowling from Mohammed Amir in his first over.

    Axar Patel struggled to get off the mark, but in his sixth ball of the innings, nudges away for a single.

    Rishabh Pant did find three earlier in the over, something we have seen plenty of at this World Cup.

  3. Ind 20-2

    Almost a wicket maiden for Shaheen Shah Afridi, had he not sent the fifth ball of the over wide.

    Still, an excellent over, 1-1 and Pakistan very much have the momentum.

    Naseem Shah is going to be replaced by Mohammad Amir, despite taking the wicket of Virat Kohli in his first over.

    Pakistan celebrates after India's captain Rohit Sharma was caught out during the ICC men's Twenty20 World Cup 2024 group A cricket match between India and Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, New YorkGetty Images

    Rohit Sharma attempted to repeat what he did in the first over against Shaheen Shah Afridi but this time he did not quite pick it up and get the distance on it.

    Shaheen stands there with his trademark celebration - arms raised to the sky - letting the emotion wash over him as he's mobbed by his Pakistan team-mates.

    Two of India's big guns back in the hutch.

    That dot ball pressure, three in a row, this one he hits slightly fuller, the bat twists in his hands and goes straight in the air.

    He didn't get a god hit on the ball.

    If you try to play aerially, nine times out of 10, the batters with the elevation haven't got the distance.

    WICKET

    Rohit c Rauf b Shaheen 13 (Ind 19-2)

    Rohit Sharma has been caught, early trouble for India.

    An excellent over so far from Shaheen Shah Afridi. After three dot balls, Rohit looked to clip away aerially to the leg side again, but picks out Haris Rauf at deep square. He gets under the ball and takes the catch well.

    A brilliant start for Pakistan.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Rohit is so strong through the leg side, he's always going to get shots like that that away.

  9. Ind 19-1

    India score 11 runs from that over, but do lose a big wicket in the form of Virat Kohli, falling on just four.

    The explosive Rishabh Pant is the man in for him and will be hoping to build on the quick scoring shown early on from Rohit.

  10. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    You do not bowl to Rohit Sharma on his pads, he will make you pay.

  11. Ind 18-1

    Another boundary from Rohit Sharma, flicking Naseem Shah to the leg side for four.

    It was a fuller ball and Rohit does well to evade the fielder at short fine leg.

    It wasn't meant to be for Virat Kohli today.

    Pockets of supporters decked in green have suddenly sprung up all round the ground, loudly cheering as Virat Kohli exits stage left.

    Virat Kohli was looking to be aggressive and a simple catch for Usman Khan in the end.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Kohli c Usman Khan b Naseem 4 (Ind 12-1)

    Virat Kohli is caught after three balls.

    A wider delivery from Naseem Shah which Kohli looked to fire over square, but he's picked out Usman Khan, who takes the catch above his head at point.

    An early breakthrough for Pakistan and their fans are celebrating wildly.

  16. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That was a glorious cover drive from Virat, as good as we've seen any at this stadium.

  17. Ind 12-0

    A brilliant start for Virat Kohli, driving Naseem Shah's first delivery through the covers for four.

    Kohli has done well to find four, considering that shot kept along the outfield, which is likely to be very wet and slow given the rain today.

  18. The players are now back out on to the field with play now due to resume.

    Hopefully, that is all for the rain delays today.

    We have had one over of play. India are 8-0, including a brilliant six from Rohit Sharma.

    Naseem Shah will bowl this next over and for the first time today, Virat Kohli is on strike.

    Faraz and UzairBBC Sport

    Pakistan fans Faraz and Uzair splashed out $1000 each to be at the biggest game in world cricket.

    They are both originally from Karachi but have been living in the United States for over 30 years.

    "We flew in from San Francisco for today's game," they tell me.

    "India have a strong team, but Pakistan are going to win!"
