12.3 Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin

Over 13. 2 runs. Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav. Ireland: 10-70(rr 5.38)

12.3 Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin

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.

12.2 Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin

Kuldeep Yadav to Boyd Rankin. Chinaman length ball, middle stump on the back foot cutting, to deep cover for 2 runs, fielded by Yadav.

10.1 Kuldeep Yadav to George Dockrell

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?

9.6 Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson

Over 10. 11 runs. Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal. Ireland: 7-56(rr 5.60)

9.6 Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson

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.

9.5 Yuzvendra Chahal to Stuart Thompson

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. A lovely stroke from Thompson as he taps the ball round the corner and it runs away to fine-leg for four runs. That's 50 up for Ireland, albeit for the loss of seven wickets.

9.4 Yuzvendra Chahal to George Dockrell

Yuzvendra Chahal to George Dockrell. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to third man for 3 runs, fielded by Yadav, fielded by Raina.

8.3 Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson

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.

8.2 Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson

Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson. Chinaman length ball, to leg on the front foot defending, to gully for no runs, fielded by Kohli.

8.1 Kuldeep Yadav to Gary Wilson

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.

7.6 Yuzvendra Chahal to Gary Wilson

Over 8. 4 runs. Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal. Ireland: 6-40(rr 5.00)

7.2 Yuzvendra Chahal to Simi Singh

OUT! L.B.W. Yuzvendra Chahal to Simi Singh. Googly length ball, middle stump on the front foot sweeping, missed to. Singh goes for a second-ball duck as Ireland lose a sixth now. He's missed the straight delivery and it's trapped him plumb infront as he looked to sweep. Ireland are really struggling here and India are loving it out there. The result seems beyond doubt at this point.

7.1 Yuzvendra Chahal to Simi Singh

APPEAL! Yuzvendra Chahal to Simi Singh. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Karthik, appeal made for Caught. Replays show there was a nick through to the keeper but it's not given on the field.
