- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Chipped to mid-off running back. Ireland have lost both their openers inside two overs. On a similar length and outside off, Stirling aims to go over the top once again, this time he can only slice it off the bottom of the bat to Hooda who runs back from mid-off and snags the catch 6/20.5 Bhuvneshwar hits the top of off stump and sends Balbirnie packing for a duck in the season-opening T20I in Malahide. This is a bail-trimmer. Back of a length and veers back in sharply, Balbirnie aims to force the ball away off the back foot, but misses it altogether. Bhuvneshwar hits his target 1/13.5 Avesh thinks he has his man and the finger goes up. Back of a length and holds its line outside off, Delany's front foot is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. He stays leg-side of the ball, slashes hard and nicks it off to Karthik 22/38.4 Chahal dangles it up slow and wide of off. He asks Tucker to fetch it from there. Tucker can only slog-sweep it into the hands of Axar at deep square leg.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Knocks him over! Kishan tried to wallop a good length ball that came in from around off just a bit across the line but the ball went through the gate and clattered middle and leg. Young gets the first breakthrough. 30/12.5 Huge appeal for LBW and it is given! SKY reviews He went for the straight drive and missed, looked like there was no inside edge as SKY took some time to go up. Ultra-Edge confirms there is no bat, it hit the flap over the knee-roll of the back foot in front of off. Three reds as the ball is hitting off and SKY has to go! It looked to have jagged back in a bit which may have done the batter, it leaves Young on a hattrick! 30/27.6 LBW given after Pandya tried to flick it aerially across the line! India review. It was a good length ball that came in after pitching around middle, the back leg is bent and the ball hit over the knee-roll. It's missing the bat, pitched on middle and clipped leg stump. So Pandya has to go. The movement off the pitch has been incredible on this track. It earns Little his first scalp. 94/3Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL111/3 (9.2 Overs, RR: 11.89)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Ishan Kishan, 2.4 ov), 2-30 (Suryakumar Yadav, 2.5 ov), 3-94 (Hardik Pandya, 7.6 ov)
