Pakistan were 166/6 in 35 overs in their chase to India's 336 when rains interrupted the match again in the ICC World Cup at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Imad Wasim (22) and Shadab Khan (1) were at the crease when the skies opened up. Pakistan need 171 more runs from 15 overs.

Rain had briefly held play when India batted.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma pulverised a pedestrian Pakistan attack with a stylish hundred to lead India to a challenging 336 for five.

The Indian vice-captain scored his 24th ODI hundred - 140 off 113 balls while KL Rahul (57) played the perfect second fiddle in an opening partnership of 137 runs.

Skipper Virat Kohli switched gears effortlessly during his 77 off 65 balls and also became the quickest to 11,000 ODI runs, eclipsing a 17-year record held by iconic Sachin Tendulkar.
