- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 more trouble for Ireland as Arshdeep cleans him up with one that nips away. Balbirnie tries to stay besides the line, hanging leg side, to try and defend but is beaten by the fizz away as the ball crashes into the stumps. 9/22.1 the swirler is taken nicely by Pant running back! Stirling looks to heave this length ball on middle and leg over square leg, but gets a leading edge that goes quite high. Not easy taking that with the sun breaking out of the clouds, but Pant had it completely in control as he called early to keep Bumrah out of the way running around from short third. 7/16.5 through the gate! Hardik goes full on off, the ball nips back in and beats Tucker as he leans into the stroke to try and blast that through cover. The late movement did the trick for Hardik as the ball flattened the middle stump. 28/37.6 comes off the glove, another one that rushes the batter and surprises him. All told, it was a rip-roaring bouncer. Tector walks off shaking his head and wincing in pain. Looks to swivel back to play the pull but the extra bounce means this one pings him on the gloves and then lobs to the fielder off the deflection onto the helmet. 36/48.6 the thin edge has been taken. Campher flirts with a harmless length ball outside off, there's a hint of movement away, and that's enough for Hardik to strike again. 44/59.4 the freefall continues. Dockrell attempts to take Siraj's short ball on but is done in by the skid off the pitch, also didn't have the room to pull and ends up getting a top-edge as Bumrah takes a comfortable catch at mid-on. 46/615.6 scythed away into the gap at deep point. But that's absolute hara-kiri from the batters. Total breakdown in communication. White wanted to come back for the second to keep Delany on strike for the next over, but the throw from the deep was right on the bounce to Pant, who whipped the bails off. White took off for the second and just stopped. As it turns out, even if he'd hared instantly on the turn, chances of making it back were remote. 96/1010.1 they're falling like nine pins. This is a nothing shot from Adair. Backs away to manufacture a stroke, Hardik does well to dig it in and away from the batter, Adair simply throws his bat at that and ends up hitting it straight to Dube coming in from deep point. 49/711.2 outstanding catch by Axar! Harmless ball drifting into middle and leg, McCarthy gets a leading edge that appears to be drifting away from Axar's reach, but he does superbly well to run a couple of steps to his right before putting in the dive and taking it one-handed. 50/814.2 'you miss, I hit stuff.' Bumrah's calling card. A ripper of a yorker angled into the middle of middle at 145kph. Little had exposed all three stumps even before Bumrah delivered the ball, thereby giving him little or no chance to squeeze that out if it was speared in at a furious pace. 77/9Extras15 (lb 5, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL96 all out (16 Overs, RR: 6)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Paul Stirling, 2.1 ov), 2-9 (Andy Balbirnie, 2.6 ov), 3-28 (Lorcan Tucker, 6.5 ov), 4-36 (Harry Tector, 7.6 ov), 5-44 (Curtis Campher, 8.6 ov), 6-46 (George Dockrell, 9.4 ov), 7-49 (Mark Adair, 10.1 ov), 8-50 (Barry McCarthy, 11.2 ov), 9-77 (Josh Little, 14.2 ov), 10-96 (Gareth Delany, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 hacked over the leg side again, not a clean hit but it lands safely for a couple
Ah, now then. Rohit Sharma has just trudged off the field looking unhappy about something. He's gesturing to his shoulder - looks like he's retired hurt. Maybe as a result of that delivery that ended up at point and was reviewed by Ireland in the previous over? 76/12.4 hacked straight to deep third! The approach was clear but even Virat Kohli can't tame this Nassau County deck. Premeditated charge-and-swipe, fat top edge and and comfortable catch for the man down there, White, a few yards in from the rope. Ireland have the early wicket they needed 22/111.4 slog-sweep, but it doesn't have the distance! Suryakumar looking to finish it in style but sends the ball high and spiralling towards deep midwicket, on the longer side of the ground - well held by Dockrell as it dropped like a stone 91/2Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL97/2 (12.2 Overs, RR: 7.86)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Virat Kohli, 2.4 ov), 1-76* (Rohit Sharma, retired not out ), 2-91 (Suryakumar Yadav, 11.4 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB MR Adair 4 0 27 1 6.75 13 3 0 3 0 JB Little 4 0 42 0 10.50 12 2 4 3 0 BJ McCarthy 2.2 0 18 0 7.71 5 1 1 0 0 C Campher 1 0 4 0 4.00 3 0 0 0 0 B White 1 0 6 1 6.00 3 1 0 0 0
