Kevin O'Brien to Hardik Pandya. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Porterfield. 39 runs come from the final two overs for India as they launch themselves up to 213. Pandya scores a stunning 32 from just nine deliveries as O'Brien couldn't continue his skillfull bowling at the death there. India had all the answers to the Irish bowlers there and never looked stretched in their play. The wickets they gave away they did exactly that, gave them away to Ireland with batting mistakes. We should expect to see a similar performance in the second innigs as we did the other day, Ireland will struggle to chase down 214 but will most certainly give it their all.
FOUR! Kevin O'Brien to Hardik Pandya. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Pandya gets four this time, his first four yet his fifth boundary as he slaps the ball back down the ground in baseball style.
SIX! Kevin O'Brien to Hardik Pandya. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Pandya has creamed that one! Six more for Pandya as he launches the ball back down the ground with ease. Pandya is playing a top-class innings here.
SIX! Kevin O'Brien to Hardik Pandya. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Pandya makes it three sixes in four deliveries now. He didn't get hold of that one but it has just enough on it to land on the far side of the ropes.
Kevin O'Brien to Manish Pandey. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge to backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Porterfield.

SIX! Peter Chase to Hardik Pandya. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Back-to-back sixes for India now! Pandya read the slower delivery and has launched that one a long way over mid-wicket. It's out of the ground!
SIX! Peter Chase to Hardik Pandya. Length ball, off stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs.

OUT! Caught. Kevin O'Brien to Suresh Raina. Off cutter back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Dockrell. O'Brien gets his third wicket with the off cutter as Raina can't get enough contact on the pull to get it over the ropes and instead it's straight into the hands of the fielder. India lose a fourth wicket as Ireland continue to do well here.

Peter Chase to Manish Pandey. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Shannon.
OUT! Stumped. Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin. Chinaman length ball, off stump down the track driving, missed to wicketkeeper, by Karthik. That's it as Rankin comes down the track, misses the delivery and Karthik whips off the bails. India record a 143-run victory, the second largest run victory in T20I history as Ireland record their second lowest ever total at the same time. Some brilliant bowling from the Indian side made light work of the Irish line-up who, after losing early wickets, never looked to have serious intent of chasing down this total. India win the series 2-0 and in complete comfort, they will face a much sterner test against England in the coming weeks. For Ireland though, they relish the chance to compete with teams at the top of this format and they will certainly learn from these experiences and aim to exploit what they have learnt against lower-ranked sides.

OUT! Bowled. Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, missed to. Thompson goes for 13 with the score on 68.

SIX! Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin. Chinaman half volley, off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Rankin trots down the track and launches Yadav over long-off for a maximum. Ireland only three away from their lowest total now, surely they will save themselves from that embarrassment at least.

OUT! Caught. Kuldeep Yadav to George Dockrell. Chinaman half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Yadav. Dockrell throws his wicket away as he drives the half-volley back down the ground and into the hands of long-on. Ireland lose their eighth wicket after only 10.1 overs. Will these last two show any resilliance to get Ireland over their lowest ever T20I total of 68?
FOUR! Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson. Googly length ball, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled past fine leg for 4 runs. Twice in this over the Irish batters have completely misplayed shots and both times they've looped over the head of the keeper and down to fine-leg. This time there's enough on the ball for it to run away for four.
FOUR! Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot sweeping, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs.

OUT! Bowled. Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson. Chinaman length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, missed to. A poor shot from Ireland's captain Wilson as he swipes across the ball, it's turned a long way from outside the off stump and made a mess of the stumps, hitting middle. Ireland have lost their seventh wicket now as Yadav comes into the attack and picks up his first of the night. Ireland are crumbling here, they haven't been able to put up a fight whatsoever as we enter the tailend now.
Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson. Chinaman length ball, to leg on the front foot defending, to gully for no runs, fielded by Kohli.
FOUR! Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson. Chinaman half volley, off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, well timed past third man for 4 runs. Wilson gets his second boundary with a perfectly executed reverse-sweep through third-man.
