1.1: Faheem strikes to get rid of Abhishek!

The Indian opener falls to the tamest of dismissals as he is caught by Haris inside the circle.

The Indian skipper is the new man in — he’s struggled for runs in this tournament.

Faheem Ashraf gets the prized wicket of the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and there is life after all for Pakistan in this game. It is the start Pakistan would’ve wanted and now they’ve got it.

India - 10-1
