Follow below for all the action from this Cricket World Cup 2023 match, or you can check out the live scorecard here.

8:07 pm- In the end, it's an easy win for India. Rohit Sharma was fantastic today, and Shreyas Iyer was in good nick as well, but credit has to go to the bowlers for this win.

Each of India's bowlers picked up two wickets in a superb performance, and they move to the top of the table on net run-rate. They're looking like a fearsome unit now, as the team to beat.

8:06 pm- Shreyas Iyer muscles this down the ground for four, and India win in just 30.3 overs! India 192/3 in 30.3 overs (Rahul 19*, Shreyas 53*).

7:44 pm- It's just a matter of time now. 25 overs to go, and India need just 27 to win. Shreyas and Rahul will try to make it quick from here on in. India 165/3 in 25 overs (Rahul 4*, Shreyas 41*).

KL Rahul is the new man in.

7:30 pm- WICKET! Afridi has a second wicket, as the slower ball induces a false shot from Rohit Sharma. It just lobs up to Iftikhar at mid-wicket, but the damage has already been done as the captain walks back for 86. India 156/3 in 21.4 overs (Rohit 86, Shreyas 36*).

7:22 pm- Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer appear to keen to ensure that they finish off the chase themselves. The required run rate is hovering around 2 RPO, and India will be looking to ensure they win big. India 142/2 in 15 overs (Rohit 80*, Shreyas 28*).

7:02 pm- Nothing much to report as far as the general flow of the match is concerned. Rohit has crossed 50, and India need just 81 more for victory. India 111/2 in 15 overs (Rohit 61*, Shreyas 16*). 

In comes Shreyas Iyer.

6:40 pm- WICKET! Kohli tries to take on the short ball agaisnt Hasan Ali. It catches high on the bat though, and lobs up to mid-on. India 79/2 in 9.5 overs (Rohit 45*, Kohli 16). 

6:16 pm- This has been a good start in a low chase for India, the loss of Shubman Gill notwithstanding. They've put away the bad balls efficiently. Part of this of course, could be the fact that Pakistan need to take risks to get wickets. India 38/1 in 5 overs (Rohit 15*, Kohli 5*). 

In comes Virat Kohli.

6:09 pm- WICKET! Shaheen strikes! It wasn't the greatest delivery, short and outside off. But Gill had a half-hearted attempt at a cut shot, and it flies straight to point. India 23/1 in 2.5 overs (Rohit 6*, Gill 16).

5:55 pm- The Indian chase is about to get underway. Rohit Sharma out in the middle with the returning Shubman Gill. Shaheen Shah Afridi with the new ball in hand. Down leg stump, and Rohit flicks this away for four through midwicket. India 4/0 in 0.1 overs (Rohit 4*, Gill 0*).

Join us back after the innings break.

5:26 pm- Poor batting performance from Pakistan. They looked good to end anywhere near around 300 runs but this is where they have come down to. 191 all-out it is.

5:23 pm- WICKET! Pakistan are all-out as Jadeja dismisses Rauf via LBW. Pakistan 191/10 in 42.5  overs (Shaheen 2*)

Haris Rauf is out in the centre.

Shaheen Shah Afridi joins Hasan at the crease.

5:09 pm- WICKET! Nawaz chips one down to the throat of the fielder at mid-on as Hardik celebrates his dismissal. Pakistan 187/8 in 40 overs (Hasan 12*, Shaheen 0*)

Mohammad Nawaz is the new batter.

4:42 pm- WICKET! Pakistan in tatters. An off-cutter from Bumrah beats Rizwan with the pace as the bails light up to end Rizwan's stay at the crease. Pakistan 168/6 in 34 overs (Shadab 1*, Nawaz 0*)

Shadab Khan walks to the crease.

4:38 pm- WICKET! What was that. A ripper from Kuldeep. Iftikhar sits down to play a sweep but the misses the ball all ends up and gets cleaned up. Pakistan 166/5 in 33 overs (Rizwan 48*, Shadab 0*)

Iftikhar Ahmed is Pakistan's No.6.

4:33 pm- WICKET! Kuldeep strikes. Shakeel plays for turn. The ball skids a bit but did not turn enough for the batter's liking. He goes one the backfoot, fails to pick the line and length of the delivery and gets hit on his pads. Pakistan 162/4 in 32.2 overs (Rizwan 48*, Iftikhar o*)

4:32 pm- India again take a review for LBW. It's out.

Saud Shakeel is out in the middle.

4:11 pm- 50 UP FOR BABAR AZAM! This is his maiden half-century against India in ODIs. He surely saved his best for the best stage. Pakistan 150/2 in 29 overs (Babar 50*, Rizwan 43*)

4:08 pm- Expensive over from Siraj. 13 runs came off it. India need a moment of brilliance now. Pakistan 144/1 in 28 overs (Babar 45*, Rizwan 42*)

Rohit Sharma bring back Siraj in to the attack.

3:53 pm- India are challenging umpire's decision. They are looking for an LBW. Babar is the batter in question. Tight call but umpire's call rules the batter not-out.

It's all blue at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

3:48 pm- Runs are coming thick and fast now. Pakistan are sitting in the driver's seat. Babar and Rizwan are looking perilous. Pakistan 120/2 in 23 overs (Babar 33*, Rizwan 30*)

3:35 pm- 100 UP FOR PAKISTAN! Babar is looking quite fluent in his batting. Rizwan too has not had any trouble barring a mini LBW scare. Pakistan 102/2 in 19 overs (Babar 30*, Rizwan 15*)

India bring Kuldeep Yadav in the attack.

2:52 pm- The match hangs in balance at the end of the first powerplay. Neither team would be disappointed. India have managed to keep a check on the run-rate, while Pakistan have lost only one wicket. Pakistan 49/1 in 10 overs (Imam 23*, Babar 5*)

Babar Azam is the new batter.

2:25 pm- Pakistan openers are looking rock solid. They have survived the new ball spells of Bumrah and Siraj and it's a big positive for them. Pakistan 23/0 in 5 overs (Imam 13*, Shafique 10*)

2:06 pm- Mohammed Siraj will bowl from the other end.
