PAKISTAN VS INDIA GROUP 'B', BIRMINGHAM

Welcome to Dawn.com’s live coverage of the highly-anticipated Pakistan-India clash in Edgbaston that promises high-voltage action despite the academic nature of the contest. What was expected to be the marquee battle of the eight-nation tournament – tickets for the match were sold out within hours of going on sale last November – has been reduced to a dead rubber. World Cup champions India are already through to the semi-finals after winning both group B matches so far, while Pakistan have crashed out of the race with two successive defeats to the West Indies and South Africa.
