Yuzvendra Chahal to Zeeshan Ali
Shout for an lbw! Not given. Floated delivery, full and around off, spinning in, Zeeshan Ali is down the track, trying to work it around but misses. It clips his front pad and sneaks past Rohit at first slip. They cross and the umpire signals for leg byes. Now, India review the decision. UltraEdge shows that it has hit both the bat and front pad simultaneously. The third umpire feels that it's bat first. Hmm... It's given as runs now.

Hayat hangs deep and looks to muscle it across the line. He loses his shape while going for the shot and the ball turns away as well. The top edge is found and the ball lobs up around the backward point region where Avesh Khan takes a simple catch. India are in cruise control at the moment.

Arshdeep Singh to Yasim Murtaza
Length, around off and Arshdeep brings this one back into the left-hander. Murtaza solidly defends it back towards the bowler.

Arshdeep Singh to Yasim Murtaza
FOUR! Edged but over the fielder and that brings up the first boundary for Hong Kong. Good length, around off, Yasim Murtaza looks to flick it on the leg side. The ball nips away and takes the outer half of the bat, flying over the man at point for a boundary.

Arshdeep Singh to Yasim Murtaza
FOUR! A much better shot from Yasim Murtaza. Pitched up around middle and leg, Murtaza just lofts it off the meat of the bat and over wide mid on for a boundary.

Arshdeep Singh to Yasim Murtaza
OUT! CAUGHT! The change-up works for Arshdeep Singh and he draws first blood here for India! Arshdeep goes for the bouncer and gets it around the left shoulder of the batter. Yasim Murtaza decides to take it on with the pull shot but gets in no position to get on top of the bounce. The ball goes off the top edge and towards deep backward square leg. Avesh Khan comes in a bit at first but adjusts and takes a good catch. Murtaza departs for a low score.

Who will bat at number 3? It's the in-form Babar Hayat.

With two right-handers in the middle, it's a good move to have Ravindra Jadeja into the attack. Slip in place...

No matter what happens, Hong Kong have won the Powerplay as they have been able to score more runs than India did and there's still one ball to go. 
0
Is that a run-out? The umpires have gone upstairs to have a look. Ravindra Jadeja scores a direct hit at the batter's end but the Indians don't look overly excited. The replays roll in and the third umpire concludes that Nizakat Khan's bat was on the line and no part of it was inside the crease when the bails came off. The decision on the big screen is OUT!

Kinchit Shah walks in at number 4. Also, Yuzvendra Chahal is now brought into the attack.

Ravindra Jadeja (1-0-3-0) is back on.

Drinks break! Hong Kong started off well inside the Powerplay and even though they lost an early wicket, Babar Hayat managed to hit away a few boundaries and was attacking the pacers. That run out though on the last ball of the Powerplay has turned the tide and it has allowed the Indian spinners to dictate the pace of the game. 128 runs are still needed off 60 balls and Hong Kong desperately need a blistering and a big knock from someone. India on the other hand will look for a couple of wickets and try to minimize the boundaries.

Aizaz Khan walks in next. 119 needed off 53 balls.

Avesh Khan is back on. His first over went for 11 runs and he will look to redeem himself.

That's it then from this game but the action in the Asia Cup 2022 continues on Thursday, the 1st of September in Dubai as a do-or-die clash between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh awaits. The winner will get a place in the Super Fours and the loser will have to catch a flight back home. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the early build-up. Cheers!
