4.40pm So, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube's late bursts have seen India reach 185 after Ireland tightened the screws from the start of the 16th over. It was a disciplined bowling display for a majority of the innings, except maybe the last two overs and the first three of Josh Little. Jaiswal got India off to a flying start before he and Tilak Varma fell in quick succession again. Gaikwad anchored the knock while Samson injected momentum with a quick 40. Samson and Gaikwad fell close to each other, sucking some momentum out of India's innings. Rinku took some time to get going as Ireland used the slower deliveries very well. But he soon found his groove and Dube joined in in the final over as India got 42 overs in the last 12 balls. It will be a tough chase, but this is still well within Ireland's reach, but Bumrah and co. stand in their way. How will the chase go? Find out soon in the company of Deivarayan Muthu.

Rachit: "The first SIX from Dube did look like Yuvi's... the second one left my mouth open wide.... "

Shubham : "Am I the only one who thinks Dube reminds of Yuvi ? The way he stands and hits" Some of his shots are definitely reminiscent of Yuvraj Singh!

Adair to Washington Sundar, 1 bye, Goes short and Sundar can't ramp it. They run the bye and Tucker throws it to Adair who throws it onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. But Sundar had made his ground so India get the run and finish on 185

One lefty out, one more in. It's Sundar

Adair to Singh, OUT, Oh no, he has top-edged it to fine leg! He had to throw his bat at it and he does. This is a back of length delivery on middle and he went for the pull but only managed a top edge high into the air. Craig Young makes no mistake and a fine knock on debut comes to an end for Rinku
