- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 BOOOOOM! Knocks him over! Full outside off, seaming in to take the inside edge onto the stumps as Balbirnie hangs his bat out limply 4/15.2 Cleans him up! Wrong'un goes right for Bishnoi! Length ball outside off, spins in as Stirling looks for the big hit. He got nowhere near it as the ball crashes into the stumps 27/40.5 Bumrah has another! Tucker goes across to a length ball outside off and he tries to ramp it but manages to just spoon it behind. Easy pickings for Sanju Samson as Bumrah celebrates 4/24.6 Another ramp goes awry for Ireland! Prasidh Krishna goes short and Tector's ramp spoons up to Tilak Varma's right at short third. Simple catch for him and Prasidh strikes on debut 27/317.5 BULLSEYE! Arshdeep has this habit of bringing out these jaw-dropping yorkers every now and then. Middle stump isn't broken this time, but everything else was just perfect. Ball zips in from around the stumps and Campher pays the price for making room. Rattles the base of the stumps 116/76.3 Two for Prasidh on debut! Dockrell looks to slap away this back-of-a-length delivery on off that's seaming in. All he can do is give catching practice to Ruturaj Gaikwad at cover. Ireland slide further 31/510.3 Bishnoi wants Bumrah to review this. And finally: convinced. Bishnoi got a length ball turning in from outside off. Adair came dancing down the wicket and missed the slog altogether. Ball hit his pad, around off and middle but he was a long way down the track. Aaand, the big reveal: Bishnoi was right all along. Crashing top of leg stump. The Adair danger has been neutralised and the umpire has to change the call 59/6Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Andy Balbirnie, 0.2 ov), 2-4 (Lorcan Tucker, 0.5 ov), 3-27 (Harry Tector, 4.6 ov), 4-27 (Paul Stirling, 5.2 ov), 5-31 (George Dockrell, 6.3 ov), 6-59 (Mark Adair, 10.3 ov), 7-116 (Curtis Campher, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 captain gets under it! Stirling got Young into the XI as an extra-seam option, and he has delivered two balls in. Short ball aimed at his body, and Jaiswal sliced this pull after getting in a poor position. Ball went high up and Stirling ran in from midwicket to complete the deed 46/16.3 Young has two in two! Short-ish ball around leg stump. Tucks Tilak up, and he ends up getting a touch down the leg side. Keeper Tucker was alert, dived to his right, and the DLS calculations now get interesting. 46/2Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL47/2 (6.5 Overs, RR: 6.87)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 6.2 ov), 2-46 (Tilak Varma, 6.3 ov)
