On the back of Rohit Sharma's century and fifties from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, India posted 336/5 after being put into bat by Pakistan at Old Trafford on Sunday.
In response, Pakistan looked on track before a middle-order collapse left them reeling. Chasing a stiff 337-run target, Pakistan were 166 for six in 35 overs against India when rain halted play. They returned needing an improbable 136 from five overs and ended up losing by 89 runs.

Pre-match
The sun has been playing hide and seek since morning. Sunshine, gloom and drizzle, the day has seen everything already. Fans are undeterred and turning up in large numbers. 'India jitega' and 'Pakistan jitega' chants have filled the air.
There is a lot of colour and noise, as if a fancy dress competition is on. The weather, however, remains a worry.
