India vs Pakistan LIVE: T20 World Cup final score, result and reaction today

Two more singles take India to 110 with four overs to go. What can India get from here with Kohli beginning to accelerate and Hardik Pandya to come? Haris Rauf will bowl two of them, with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali each with one left - here’s Rauf to bowl the seventeenth.

Is that the start? Hasan Ali’s slower-ball bouncer cuts nicely into the arc of Virat Kohli’s pull and it evades short fine leg to give Kohli his first boundary for a little while.

But Ali straight away replies by beating Kohli outside off-stump with another back of a length ball! Good battle, this.

Lovely from Kohli! Over-pitched from Ali and a gentle caress is followed to the boundary by mid-off, who can’t quite reel it in before it collides with the advertising cushions that cover the rope. Kohli five away from his half-century.

Virat Kohli has barely played a shot in anger through the middle overs, which is sometimes his modus operandi ahead of an explosion at the death, as these figures show. Will he be able to find his striking form tonight?

Lovely stuff from Shadab, whose form with the ball has dipped a touch in the last 18 months but has flighted it beautifully this evening. He gives Jadeja, sent in partly to potentially target him, you’d think, nothing and concedes just a single from the first half of the over.

Kohli trots to the other end after a push to the cover sweeper but soon returns as Jadeja drives to long-off. A crisp cut to cover brings another 22-yard saunter for the India captain to close the over, and complete Shadab’s allocation - 4 overs, 1 for 22 are his rather impressive figures. A pleasing start to the tournament for the wrist spinner.

Shoaib Malik twice gets his slightly aged legs moving at third man as he hustles round to first save four on the slide and then prevent Jadeja charging back for a second. Rauf then tries to test Virat Kohli upstairs, but pulls his length back to far and a wide is signalled for height.

That’s loose, too, pushed down the legside and effectively sent on, Kohli giving the ball a pat on the back as it careers past the keeper to the fence. A yorker length, but the line was wrong, and Rauf howls into his hands in anguish.

A dot to close the over and Shadab Khan will bowl out.

Haris Rauf is back on and clocking 92 mph (148kph) with his first two balls. Brisk.

Shadab had nearly five seconds to get underneath that skyer from Pant, which went the best part of 30 metres in the air.

Jadeja nudges one to get off the mark from his first ball. These two are both rapid between the wickets, and they are already look to turn ones into twos as Virat Kohli also adds a single to his tally from teh final ball of Shadab’s third over.

Finally he falls! It’s another heroic heave for the fences from Rishabh Pant, targeting a long boundary to cow corner as Shadab Khan deceives him with a googly. It goes a mile in the air and Khan, a very safe pair of hands, has plenty of times to trot back and to his left to take it with a reverse cup high above his head.

Pant falls, and India replace him with another left-hander - Ravindra Jadeja, in a cap, sent in ahead of Hardik Pandya.

A good over for India. Pant beginning to find his range.

Just the one-over spell for Haris Rauf - Babar Azam goes back to his leg spinner, Shadab Khan.

Another one-hander! Over mid-off this time, bottom hand drawn from the bat as Pant swings through the line of a length ball and gives it just enough club to pitch it a yard beyond the boundary. The fielder is in the circle - it’s back-to-back sixes! Pant on to 34 from 26.
