It’s difficult when there’s no support from the other end.

Superb bowling.Wow what an innings
Bowling pies
Yeah sorry that's what I meant. Amir was bowling well but Hassan was bowling garbage. It meant that Rahul could take his time.
Yep. There's a reason they went into the tournament on that 10-11 losing streak and that's because the bowlers have been struggling.
England have won 15 of the last 19 ODIs vs Pakistan.
In CWC and CT I think we've beaten them once since 1987.
Rohit left hanging fair plays for keeping his hand out there while he's still doing up his trousers
fair plays for keeping his hand out there while he's still doing up his trousersSo is anyone going to explain to me why Shinwari isn't in the squad, when he's had the best bowling average for us since the Champions Trophy?
Such poor bowling. We have no chance if this continues.
Highest ever opening partnership for us against Pakistan apparently.
Shows how far Pakistani bowling has fallen

I don't like Imad Wassim bowling. He's been fairly economical but with that line you're not giving chance of getting wickets for yourself.
And you get the feeling that once Rohit decides to go, he's going to leak runs anyway.
I think barring bad Indian mistakes nobody's getting any wickets apart from Amir.
Rahul needs to get a move on.
Rahul has been Pakistan's best player so far
Disagree. I think he's doing his role well. Shadab is meant to be the wicket taker out of the two but has been expensive and Imad's helped put the brakes on India. A wicket or two here and could see the pressure build.. key period of the game this - last chance saloon for Pakistan.
Agreed but we have no wicket taking options, except Amir who is one mistake away from being done.
The bowling selection for the WC was poor. Wahab has one good spell then is shit (had it versus england) & Hasan has been poor for over a year.
38 off 61. If he gets out now without making a big score he might as well have got out for a duck
23 dot balls against a bowling attack that has nothing on a pitch which looks like a batman's paradise.
Full toss straight to the fielder
Very frustrating that we're not capitalising on that brilliant start yet.
Rahul gonna throw it away soon
Yeah Rahul needs to go for it, no need to keep his wicket. Pakistan would like him to stay in and plod away.
Rahul doing his best Imam-ul-Haq impression.
It's better for India to get Kohli in now, than Rahul continuing this wasteman innings
fecker won't play with this composure when he opens in tests
Yeah. Dont blame him for the first 15 overs. 0laying second fiddle was fine until Sharma was scoring 7+. But now needs to step up
Rohit keeps giving him the strike too.
That's more like it.
Only problem is he's not really playing well.
Tied down, not great timing. But that's okay, runs from him to get confidence is more important for the second half of the tournament. He has to be in good nick for us to win this.
50..
Too easy for India. No urgency or intelligence from Pakistan.
Like watching United play ffs

That's the good thing with Rahul though. He can accelerate as well as anyone in the game.
Some brilliant shots
FFS.. All that pressure gone to shit by bowling the part-timers.
The sweeps aren't working - put it away..
This is pathetic captaincy. Pressure was built and he brings on part timers
It's pissing it down here, gotta pray for that rain to go to Manchester.
Good stuff from Rahul, accelerating well.
