  1. 'Fine knock'

    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on Test Match Special

    Lorcan Tucker will be absolutely gutted. A fine knock all the same from Ireland's new captain. His score will give Ireland a chance.

    WICKET

    Varma c Rana b Tucker 50 (Ire 115-5)

    Lorcan Tucker's afternoon is over for 50 as Ireland lose a fifth wicket.

    He hits a ball from Harshit Rana and it is caught deep midwicket by Tilak Varma.

    His promising partnership with Gareth Delany is brought to an end.

  3. Ire 111-4

    Ireland start the over with three singles before Lorcan Tucker fires a shot for four and adds two more as he brings up 50.

    A 12th half-century in T20 cricket for Tucker, who has hit at least 50 every time he has captained Ireland.

  4. 'Clever footwork'

    Niall O'Brien
    Ex-Ireland wicketkeeper on Test Match Special

    Lorcan Tucker is Ireland's best player. He has the footwork and he is showing good clever batting.

  5. Ire 102-4

    A big over for Ireland, who are enjoying the deliveries from spinner Axar Patel as they pass the 100 mark.

    Gareth Delany starts the over with a four, after another missed catch for India, and Lorcan Tucker then adds a single.

    Tucker drives the ball through covers for four and Delany whacks to the boundary as they surpass 50 as a partnership.

  6. Ire 86-4

    Ireland start the over with a single before Lorcan Tucker scoops the ball behind him off Prasidh Krishna for four.

    Gareth Delany follows that up with a two and they finish the over with another single.

    A productive partnership between Tucker and Delany is starting to build now.

  7. 'Really bad drop'

    Former Ireland women's coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3

    Thats a really bad drop from Abhishek Sharma. That was a simple catch dropped. It was like one of the catches you'd practice before with the fielding coach.

  8. Ire 78-4

    A good over for Ireland off the spinner Axar Patel, although they do get lucky on the last ball.

    Two singles are followed by a fine six from Lorcan Tucker, who produces a straight lofted drive.

    Abhishek Sharma then drops a dolly catch from Gareth Delany's shot that went up and under.

    They were lucky not to lose a fifth wicket there.

  9. Competitive total looking unlikely

    Ed Joyce
    Former Ireland women's coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3

    We are at the halfway stage now. One of these batsmen need to stay in and be around with three or four overs to go. It doesn't look at this stage as if a competitive total is on the cards for Ireland.

  10. Get Involved

    That’s a great turnout for cricket in Belfast. Stormont should now be included as a venue to host international cricket matches and series in UK and Ireland.

    Hi Nagesh - we've 4,200 spectators here at Stormont today

  11. Ire 68-4

    A couple more singles for Ireland as we reach the halfway stage of their batting but some good bowling on show from Shivam Dube in that over.

  12. Delany power

    Greg Molins
    Former Ireland spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3

    Gareth Delany loves that shot down the ground. He executes it very well. It has always been a strength of his.

  13. Get Involved

    It is a school day so hopefully the 15-year-old will play on Sunday. Fingers crossed.

    Steve, Cumbria

    Positive thinking Steve. A good point well made! We can but hope for some history on Sunday.

  14. Ire 65-4

    A bit better for Ireland in the ninth over.

    The highlights was Gareth Delany pulling a shot for four off Prasidh Krishna.

  15. Ire 57-4

    Gareth Delany joins Lorcan Tucker at the crease for the rest of the over.

    The captain whacks a big shot to the boundary off Shivam Dube.

  16. 'Tough ask for Ireland'

    Greg Molins
    Former Ireland spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3

    A top edge from Calitz and the catch was nicely taken. Its a tough ask for Ireland now. They are up against it now.

    WICKET

    Krishna c Dube b Calitz 15 (Ire 51-4)

    Oh dear, a wild swing from Ben Calitz off Shivam Dube's delivery is an easy catch for Prasidh Krishna and he goes for 15.

    A fourth wicket down.

    Ireland batter Ben Calitz during match one of the T20 International series between Ireland and India at Stormont in Belfast.

  18. Ire 51-3

    Ben Calitz swipes the ball high in the air for a boundary off new bowler Prasidh Krishna's second ball in the over.

    They follow that up with a few singles to steady the ship before Calitz hits a nice straight shot for another six that brings up the 50.

    Much better batting on show from the hosts.

  19. Get Involved

    Today was a perfect opportunity to have the young lad involved. They didn't need all the spinners and I'm sure someone like Washington Sundar wouldn't have been missed.

  20. Ire 36-3

    Ben Calitz gets off the mark with a single off Harshit Rana and Lorcan Tucker adds two more to bring us to the end of the power play.
