PAK ALLOUT FOR 241

Earlier, Team India's bowling looked on-spot as they managed to scalp the crucial wickets of Pakistan batters at the right time. In a sluggish pitch, the Pakistan side struggled to score runs and lacked intent as they were bowled out at 242 runs in the first innings.

Spin bowling reigned supreme as Kuldeep Yadav scored three wickets, and Hardik Pandya made the opening breakthrough and went on to scalp two wickets. Jadeja, Axar and Rana managed to get one wicket apiece to their name. However, Mohammed Shami looked to be struggling after leaking out five extra runs over wide balls. Pakistan failed to put any pressure on the bowling line-up, as their intent wasn't on display. All eyes would now remain on their bowling and how effective they stand against the dominant Indian batting force.
