India vs Pakistan Highlights Asia Cup Super 4: Kuldeep rules with memorable five-for as IND steamroll PAK for huge win

India vs Pakistan Live Score: India 163/2 in 28 overs. Kohli on 19 off 26, Rahul on 22 off 41. Not a good start to the day at all for Pakistan. Replays show that it had gone off Kohli's thigh pad very clearly. The wicketkeeper should have seen that.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Naseem thinks that Kohli has been caught behind down the leg side off the last ball of the 28th. The umpire shakes his head. There was a noise and Babar takes the only review Pakistan have remaining.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: That was edged but Kohli seemed to know exactly what it was doing. It runs behind unimpeded for four. Wasim Akram is fuming at the lack of slips in the commentary box.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Rahul has moved to 21 off 40, Kohli on 12 off 21. The two batters taking no big risks, just tapping the ball around. No slips despite Naseem beating both batters for fun. Kohli looking at the clouds but we don't need to worry about that. Right?

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Three singles off the last three balls and India reach the 150-run mark. Naseem Shah to bowl the 26th over, Pakistan clearly thinking wickets.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: KL Rahul is on strike, Shadab Khan bowling the second ball of the 25th over. Finally, at long last, here we go!

India vs Pakistan Live Score: India are 147/2 in 24.1 overs, almost a Test match session's worth of cricket happened yesterday, for all those missing India-Pakistan Test matches. KL Rahul was on strike on 17 off 28, Virat Kohli at the other end on eight off 16. Shadab Khan was bowling his seventh over.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: The Pakistan bowling coach spoke about the decision to the host broadcasters. “Haris started feeling his oblique muscle in his second over. He was able to bowl but went for scans yesterday. With the World Cup around the corner, we just thought it's better to put him under the ice.”

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Well that is extraordinary news coming in from the Pakistan camp. It seems like this is a precautionary measure for them. How big a blow is that for Pakistan. For now, he, Shaheen and Naseem can be seen chatting with Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: No overs lost. We finally have a resumption time. Kohli has gone back in and changed into his playing kit. It looks nice and clear. 

There is a big patch of grass just around the part where the bowlers will have their run-ups. The likes of Bumrah and Afridi are running over that quite comfortably.  

India vs Pakistan Live Score: "Update: We will have an inspection at 4:20 PM IST," says the BCCI on its X handle. The players have officially started their warm-ups. The conditions are bright and sunny at long last and so this is all looking very good indeed. But chaos theory has reigned supreme thus far in this fixture so keep doing your rain dances.

The South Africa great spoke on his Youtube channel about what he would do if he was facing Afridi. “For me left handers swinging the ball into me, I would always cover the ball coming in. I always found it a little similar to facing spin bowling. So when facing Shaheen I would be very straight, hitting to mid-on and straight past the bowler. If he gets it away to his slips, I would back my hands and my ability to either let it go late or play it through covrs. Unfortunately for the batters, he is pretty quick as well so you can't really come out of your crease,” he said. 

India vs Pakistan Live Score: The umpires chatted with Rahul Dravid and some of the Pakistna players. Dravid then promptly went back to the dressing room and spoke with Kohli. He has since walked out and is facing some throwdowns. Ticking down now. 

Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj from India and Babar Azam from Pakistan are taking a look at the pitch now. There seems to be some more stirrings in the dressing room and soon, Jasprit Bumrah, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf walk out sharing a few laughs.

The umpires are walking around. Unlike yesterday there doesn't seem to be any wet patches on the parts of the ground that are currently uncovered. This is the most promising phase of the day yet.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: This is the greenest the ground has looked in a while now and the clearest the sky has been thus far. Now this particular update looks much more promising than the false alarms earlier. Also, we can see Rahul Dravid walk towards the pitch. The umpires are making their way out as well. Baited breaths please.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: But don't get your hopes up. It is only the ground staff, inspecting the covers. The rain has stopped, again. And they are taking some of the covers off, again. Let's see if there is going to be any value to this. 

India vs Pakistan Live Score: A few others join KL Rahul and Prasidh Krishna outside the dressing room. 

They are having a chat amongst themselves and going by what we can see it seems we have to wait much longer for the action to start.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: As per the live visuals and the covers are back on and the groundstaffs are ensuring to keep the ground as dry as possible.

KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna are outside the dressing room, but they are not in the official kit but in the jersey, which they wear while training.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Well the playing conditions are the same as yesterday. If we do get a restart soon (unlikely), it will be a 50-over match, provided there are no more delays after that (even more unlikely). The cut-off for having a 20-over chase is as late as 10.36pm. 

India vs Pakistan Live Score: There are a few poor folks sitting in the stands. They have come all decked up in India and Pakistan colours but they are only sitting quietly with sullen faces. Babar, Rizwan, Iftikhar, Naseem and a few others are sitting in and around their dugout by the ground. The Indians, meanwhile, are in the dressing room, with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya standing by the window. 

India vs Pakistan Live Score: The world is a cruel place after all, all joy is only shortlived. So was this one. The ground is all blue once again as the rain returns.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Well, well, well, the covers are being taken off over the pitch. It normally means that the ground staff feels there is going to be no more rain. Or else It could be just an exercise in shuffling a few covers here and there, something that happened a number of times yesterday.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: "Hope the sun shines as bright in Colombo today too!" he said on his X handle with a photo of him tanning it up under the sun somewhere in the world. The conditions look good, can this match be shifted there? Maybe not
