Yuvraj Singh walks into the middle with India in real trouble.

INDIA: 2/1 (Dhawan 0, Kohli 2)

WICKET! Mohammad Amir to Rohit Sharma, OUT Rohit Sharma departs on a duck! On a length around middle and leg, the ball nips back in. Sharma fails to clip it through and gets hit flush on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire responds by raising his dreaded finger. He has a talk with his partner but he is not that keen for a review.
Indian openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma walk out into the middle
India, on the other hand, had a day to forget with the ball. None of the bowler's except Bhuvneshwar Kumar were effective and he ended with respectable figures of 10-2-44-1. Ashwin and Jadeja went for plenty and they will now hope that the batsmen step out and do something special. The Men in Blue will have to pull out a surprise if they wish to chase it down as a really good start is the need of the hour for them. Can the defending champions defend their title or will we have new winners this time around. Join us in a while for the chase.
Babar Azam also stepped up and made a useful contribution but it was the promotion of Imad Wasim which made the difference. He along with, Mohammad Hafeez went ablaze in the end and helped them cross the 330-run mark. Hafeez also went onto score a quickfire 50. The Men in Green will be really happy with their batting attack as they all stepped up in the game which mattered the most.
A terrific batting performance from Pakistan and they have posted a huge total on the board. They were determined from the very start and an efficient start from their openers laid the perfect platform for them. Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman stitched in an 128-run stand where the latter went to score his maiden ODI hundred after getting a reprieve early in the innings. The former was dismissed courtesy of a run out but nothing went India's way since then.
Very good last couple of overs for India. But Pakistan would be ecstatic to put up 338 on board

WICKET! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shoaib Malik, OUT Malik holes out! Short delivery outside off, Malik goes to play the forehand smash. Does not middle it well and the ball goes towards the deep cover region. Jadhav gets under it and takes a simple catch.

Welcome to the live commentary of India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy final
A wounded Pakistan will be out for revenge while India will aim to maintain their dominance when the arch-rivals meet in the final of the Champions Trophy cricket tournament at The Oval on Sunday.
Pakistan have been badly bruised against India this series in their opening group stage match, having lost the game by 124 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method.
If the past record is anything to go by, India have always been the firm favourites against Pakistan in major global tournaments of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
According to statistician Mohandas Menon, the Indian team has an excellent record against Pakistan in ICC ODI tournaments, leading their arch-rivals by an 8-2 margin.
In all ICC tournaments including the ODI World Cup, Champions Trophy and the World Twenty20, the sub-continental rivals have met 15 times with India emerging victorious on 12 occasions. Pakistan have won twice while one match ended in a tie.
Pakistan have managed to bounce back in this tournament, defeating South Africa and Sri Lanka in the group stages and England in the semi-finals to book a berth in the final.
With Pakistan's front-line pacer Mohammad Amir declared fit to play in the final after sitting out the previous match, he alongside new ball bowler Junaid Khan will be the key against India to provide their side with early breakthroughs.
Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed will also look to use his team's bowling strength to do the damage against an in-form Indian batting line-up.
The spin duo of Imad Wasim and Mohammad Hafeez alongside medium-pacer Rumman Raees -- who made his debut in the semi-finals -- will look to provide depth and variation to the Pakistan bowling line-up.
The batting department for Pakistan under the likes of opener Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman followed by Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez will look to flourish against India having got to good starts in the previous matches but failing to build lethal partnerships.
India, on the other side have looked a balanced side with both their batting and bowling departments having managed to click throughout the tournament.
India opener Shikhar Dhawan is the tournament's leading run scorer with 317 runs in four matches and will look to continue his momentum against Pakistan.
In-form Indian batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have also helped their side look capable enough of chasing any target.
The bowling department for India under the likes of pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have looked solid bowling economically while providing clinical breakthroughs.
Captain Kohli will also look to use off-break spinner Kedar Jadhav -- who took two vital wickets in his previous match against Bangladesh -- alongside Hardik Pandya to deceive the Pakistan batsmen.
Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Dinesh Karthik, Mohammed Shami, Ajinkya Rahane, Umesh Yadav.
Pakistan: Sarfraz Ahmed (captain and wicket-keeper), Ahmed Shehzad, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir, Rumman Raees, Junaid Khan, Imad Wasim, Fahim Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail.
Pakistan have scripted history and they have won the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time ever. They were exceptional from the start of the day. The only thing which went against them was the toss. After losing the toss, they were put into bat first. The Pakistani batters stood up courtesy to the fantastic knocks by Fakhar Zaman, Azhar Ali and Mohammad Hafeez.
PAKISTAN HAVE WON!
WICKET! Hasan Ali to Jasprit Bumrah, OUT! PAKISTAN WIN BY 180 RUNS! Banged in short, angling in, Bumrah puts bat on the ball and the ball lobs in the slip cordon.

WICKET! Hasan Ali to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! What has happened there? Length delivery outside off, Jadeja punches it towards the cover region.

Jadeja did not even try running as he was in his crease. Hardik Pandya has to depart after such a fantastic knock. He was furious.
SIX! Fakhar Zaman to Hardik Pandya, Such a delight to watch! Fuller around leg, Pandya kneels down and slog sweeps that over the mid-wicket region for half a dozen. That was a 107 metre long.
SIX! Fakhar Zaman to Hardik Pandya, What a shot Pandya! Hardik gets to the pitch of the ball and throws the kitchen sinks at it. Gets it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie.

FOUR! Hasan Ali to Hardik Pandya, Innovative! Hasan bangs it short again. Pandya gets underneath it and ramps it over the keeper's head. Gets it off the middle and the ball goes on the bounce across the fence.
WICKET! Shadab Khan to Kedar Jadhav, OUT In the air... Gone! Another one bites the dust. Leg spinner from Shadab on the shorter side. Jadhav clears his front leg, looks to pull it away on the leg side but the ball spins a long way. Catches the top edge and the ball skies in the short cover region. Sarfraz from behind the stumps, gets under it and gobbles it. Pakistan are surely pumped up and are letting it know through their celebrations.
FOUR! Shadab Khan to Hardik Pandya, Shortish leg spinner, Pandya cuts it hard past backward point for a boundary. A much-needed one for India.

Gets a top edge and the ball travels over mid-wicket. Wasim in the deep, runs ahead and takes a superb catch, diving forward. The Indian fans in the stadium can't believe their eyes. The defending champions are falling like a pack of cards. Pakistan need just 5 wickets now.
WICKET! Shadab Khan to Yuvraj Singh, OUT! Successful review! What a call this from Shadab Khan. He was confident all the way and made his skipper take the review. Leg spinner around off, Yuvraj leans ahead to defend with bat and pad close. There are two sounds as the ball rolls on the off side. The players appeal but it's turned down. The leggie says it's bat first and hence his skipper takes the review. The Hot Spot shows that it's bat first and the Hawk Eye shows that the impact is in line and going on to hit the stumps. Huge blow, this! Pakistan are on cloud nine!
