- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Jaiswal pulls again but this time it brings about his peril! Craig Young goes short and Jaiswal immediately latches on to it. But he hasn't timed this as well as he'd like and Curtis Campher takes a good catch running to his left from deep midwicket 29/115.1 The slower ball does Gaikwad in! This is full outside off and Gaikwad wanted to play the straight drive. Was deceived by the lack of pace and doesn't get enough on that. Tector goes back from mid-off and settles under it to end Gaikwad's vigil. McCarthy has his second of the day 129/44.1 High in the air and Tilak Varma is a goner! The short ball ploy is working for Ireland. McCarthy bangs it in short on leg and it was going across Tilak, who goes for the pull. He can only top-edge it and George Dockrell takes a fine catch at deep square leg. Another early dismissal for Tilak Varma today and Ireland will be pumped 34/212.2 Samson's innings has come to an end! He drags on a short and wide delivery! Samson was looking for the cut but it comes off the bottom of the bat and he has to go for a well made 40 off 26 105/319.5 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 184/5Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, w 5)TOTAL185/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3.4 ov), 2-34 (Tilak Varma, 4.1 ov), 3-105 (Sanju Samson, 12.2 ov), 4-129 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 15.1 ov), 5-184 (Rinku Singh, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.4 edged and taken! Arshdeep blows a kiss and celebrates. Nice and full, Arshdeep hides it away from the reach of Balbirnie. He stays leg-side of the ball, swings and nicks it behind to Samson 123/62.3 Krishna has bounced Stirling out. He runs in hard and hits the deck even harder. Shoulder-high short ball close to off stump. Stirling is rushed into a hook. He top-edges it into the air. Arshdeep runs in from fine leg and safely settles under this skier. The Ireland captain falls for a duck 19/12.5 Double-strike from Krishna. Dug in short and angling into the top of off stump, Tucker can't control a pull. He splices it in the air. Gaikwad hangs onto the ball at mid-on despite a collision with Dube 19/25.2 another wrong'un from Bishnoi, this time he bursts through the defences of Tector. Nice and full, Tector aims leg side or over mid-on, but doesn't lay bat on ball. Bishnoi knocks him over and keeps India on top 28/39.6 Attempts a reverse-sweep and ends up splicing a simple catch to Dube at backward point. Campher shows his ace a bit too early. Bishnoi puts the ball away from the batter's swinging arc and has him holing out 63/414.6 slower ball, floated outside off, sliced away to the right of short third. There's a mix-up between the wickets, and Dockrell is caught short at the striker's end. Samson gathers the throw from Bishnoi and calmly takes the bails off. Bishnoi goes back to the boundary to meet his fans 115/519.4 just short of a good length and on middle and leg. Adair picks it up and picks out Varma in the deep. Simple catch at deep midwicket. Bumrah applies the finishing touches to India's defence 148/816.4 Holes out to deep midwicket. Bishnoi runs in from the boundary, slides on his knees, and pouches it safely. Seems like the slower offcutter from Bumrah. McCarthy gets more height as opposed to distance 126/7Extras16 (b 5, w 11)TOTAL152/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.6)Did not bat: B WhiteFall of wickets: 1-19 (Paul Stirling, 2.3 ov), 2-19 (Lorcan Tucker, 2.6 ov), 3-28 (Harry Tector, 5.2 ov), 4-63 (Curtis Campher, 9.6 ov), 5-115 (George Dockrell, 14.6 ov), 6-123 (Andy Balbirnie, 15.4 ov), 7-126 (Barry McCarthy, 16.4 ov), 8-148 (Mark Adair, 19.4 ov)
