Rain has interrupted play again with Pakistan 166-6 in the 35th over chasing India's 336-5 in the Cricket World Cup game at Manchester.

Pakistan was well behind the run-rate required for games interrupted by rain, and India was on the verge of extending its record to 7-0 in Cricket World Cup head-to-heads with its archrival.

Imad Wasim was not out on 22 and Shadab Khan was on one when the rain started, players left the field and the pitch was covered. India's innings contained a 55-minute interruption for rain. The start of Pakistan's reply was also delayed by rain.

Because both teams have batted for more than 20 overs, there will be a result at Old Trafford.
