Virat and Rohit fall early
Pakistan made one change from the team that played the USA and lost in a super over, with Imad Wasim in for Azam Khan, and India named the same line-up that beat Ireland.
The rain played havoc with the start of the match, delaying the toss and the first ball, and then forcing the teams from the pitch after the first over when the drizzle returned.
When they got back on to the field, the drama was all cricket-related. Virat Kohli fell early, slapping a wide ball from Naseem Shah straight into the hands of Usman Khan.
And fellow opener Rohit Sharma failed to make a real connection with a ball from Shaheen Shah Afridi, hitting directly to Haris Rauf at deep square leg, with India on 19/2.
Naseem got his second of the day bowling straight through Axar Patel, leaving India on 58/3 and Rishabh Pant at the crease with the responsibility of pushing the innings on – which he did with aplomb, using variety and innovation to create havoc.
He began to form a good partnership with Suryakumar Yadav who then skied a Rauf ball to Mohammad Amir for 7.
And Pant too fell for 42 when he hit Amir straight up into the air and to the hands of Babar Azam.
