Once again Shoaib drifts onto DK's pads, once again he's swept away for four.

India need just four more runs to win now.

Aggression from Rayudu. Dances down the track against Zaman and plays a superb lofted drive over covers for four.

Both Indian batsmen are doing well here. It almost seems as if they are trying to outdo each other, considering the middle-order spots that are up for grabs.

IND - 154/2 after 28 overs.

Sarfraz Ahmed brings Shoaib Malik into the attack.

Fine shot from Karthik! Malik drifts into his pad and DK plays a deft sweep past short-fine for four.

Just a few runs more needed by India. 14, to be precise.

IND - 149/2 after 27 overs.
