Axar Patel to Matthew Humphreys, out Matthew Humphreys Run Out!! 1 run completed. Sliced down the ground, nowhere close to the middle and it rolls towards long-off. They look to come back for two but it's a flat throw from Tilak and Humphreys is well short. Matthew Humphreys run out (Tilak Varma/Sanju Samson) 2(3)

Axar Patel to Liam McCarthy, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Another wicket for Axar who has been assigned this final over! Full in the slot, he goes for a big slog sweep but doesn't get enough to clear the midwicket boundary. Tilak runs across and hangs on safely. Liam McCarthy c Tilak Varma b Axar Patel 7(5) [4s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Gareth Delany, out Caught by Axar Patel!! Oh Delany seems to be through the shot too early. Held in the surface perhaps or just deceived by the slight change of pace? 131kph, back of a length delivery angled in, he goes for the pull and miscues it to deep backward square. Gareth Delany c Axar Patel b Arshdeep Singh 49(32) [4s-3 6s-3]

Arshdeep Singh to Liam McCarthy, FOUR, plenty of width on offer and McCarthy carves it over backward point! Was dug in short, pace off from Arshdeep and McCarthy picks his spot nicely

Axar Patel to Liam McCarthy, leg byes, 1 run, review for LBW from India! Round the wicket, darted in on a good length and McCarthy misses the attempted reverse-hack. Looks like it has pitched well outside leg. Don't think ball-tracking is available here. Third umpire has a look at the replay and it's pretty evident that it has pitched outside leg.

Axar Patel to George Dockrell, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Balloons off the edge and it's a simple catch for Arshdeep moving across at backward point. Flat on a good length, he makes room to cut but fails to get on top of it. Axar comes back well after a couple of expensive overs. George Dockrell c Arshdeep Singh b Axar Patel 19(10) [4s-2 6s-1]

Prasidh Krishna to Gareth Delany, SIX, 27 off the over as Delany finishes with a hattrick of sixes! Another slower ball around 91kph, dips in the slot, and Delany isn't to be deceived by the lack of pace. He waits for it nicely before launching it over long-on

Prasidh Krishna to Gareth Delany, SIX, smashes this into the sightscreen and it's consecutive sixes for Delany! Slower one in the slot, he spots it, holds his shape and lofts it straight back

Washington Sundar to Gareth Delany, FOUR, smartly bowled but gets unlucky as the edge runs away! Fired on a good length wide of off, keeps it out of Delany's reach as he backs away but he somehow manages an outside edge

Washington Sundar to George Dockrell, FOUR, the decision to go with Washington proving costly already. Fired in full on the pads, Dockrell swings across the line and gets it to the boundary behind square

Harshit Rana to Lorcan Tucker, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Picks out the fielder in the deep! Slower one from Harshit, sits up around the waist from short of length and Tucker spots the variation nicely. He connects well with the pull shot but it goes straight down the throat of Tilak t deep midwicket. Third wicket for Harshit and it's the big one of the Ireland captain. A good knock comes to an end. Lorcan Tucker c Tilak Varma b Harshit Rana 50(36) [4s-5 6s-2]

Prasidh Krishna to Lorcan Tucker, FOUR, scooped over the keeper's left shoulder! Premeditated shot from Tucker as he steps across the stumps, gets a length ball and helps it fine

Axar Patel to Gareth Delany, 1 run, dropped! Abhishek puts down a sitter at long-off! Maybe he was distracted by the fielder converging from long-on? It's sliced in the air as Delany goes for a big shot. Wasn't to the pitch of it and skied it over the bowler's head. Abhishek runs to his right at long-off, Arshdeep converges from long-on, gets in his peripheral vision and he puts it down

Axar Patel to Lorcan Tucker, SIX, lovely strike from the Ireland captain! Puts on the dances shoes, makes swinging room by stepping to the leg-side and launches it straight back. The ball seems to be lost. Oh wait, they've got it back

Shivam Dube digs it short and denies any room for Benjamin Calitz on the pull shot. It loops up off the thick top-edge and settles in the safe hands of Prasidh at fine leg.

Harshit Rana to Tim Tector, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Down goes wicket number 3. Extra bounce doing the trick for Harshit Rana. Seam up length delivery that kept climbing onto the batter who was on the charge. Tector wanted to go downtown with the loft but ended up skewing it towards mid-off off the thick toe end. Shreyas steadies himself and jogs to his right before completing the catch. Tim Tector c Shreyas Iyer b Harshit Rana 17(12) [4s-2 6s-1]
