5.40pm Kevin O' Brien delivered three excellent overs. He took three wickets for only 19 runs, but then came the 20th. Twenty-one runs off it, and now Ireland need 214 to level this series. KL Rahul set the tone early with 70, Raina continued the charge with 69, Manish Pandey disappointed with his 21 but Hardik Pandya dazzled with his nine-ball 32*. It's an imposing total, so we look forward to seeing Ireland's respond? That shall happen in ten minutes or so.

O'Brien to Pandya, 1 run, ends with just a single. Full outside off, and mistimed to long off. India finish on 213 for 4
19.5
4
O'Brien to Pandya, FOUR, short outside off, and Pandya flat-bats it past the bowler. Mid on does well to make a lot of ground, but his diving stop just isn't good enough. Four more for Pandya
19.4
6
O'Brien to Pandya, SIX, into orbit! Full just outside off, and you know Hardik loves that length. Opens his stance, and then drills it over KOB's head. Delightful

6
O'Brien to Pandya, SIX, is that wicket number four for Kevin O' Brien? Oh hell no! Full outside off, and Pandya's forced to reach at it. Slices this slog over long off, and Porterfield is a mere spectator in the deep

Amogh K: "If you have swapped a player to test your bench strength, you shouldn't be scared to send him in. DK before Pandya in this match would have been much better choice. Next match, Dhoni is coming in again for DK to sit out. Poor lad."

1
O'Brien to Pandey, 1 run, full outside off, and Pandey gets down on one knee to slog towards the leg side. But the shot comes off the bat's inside edge

2
O'Brien to Pandey, 2 runs, full outside off again, and Pandey drills this drive through the covers. Man stationed in the deep though, but still these two have enough time to turn back for the second

1w
O'Brien to Pandey, 1 wide, full, but wide outside off. Pandey doesn't offer a shot

Final over: Can India get to 200 for the first time in consecutive games?
