Ross Adair had a couple of swings and misses at Arshdeep Singh but he's pounded the penultimate ball of the opening over down the ground for six. Straight bat, lovely.

And Tim Tector gets things up and running at the first opportunity, hustling through for a single.

The players are out in the middle.

India won the toss and elected to bowl, with Tim Tector and Ross Adair opening the batting for hosts Ireland.

All the hype around teenage superstar Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hasn't diminished despite the Indian hierarchy keeping him in reserve in Belfast.

During warm-ups, the scramble for any loose Indian cricket ball caused pandemonium in the crowds but even more so when it had graced the bat or hands of the 15-year-old.

Here's a piece of trivia for you... this is Harry Tector's 72nd consecutive T20I for Ireland - a run stretching back to 19 February 2022.

He'll be coming in at number three on his 100th cap.

There's definitely been a notable change in the weather since Friday. Normal service resumed here in Northern Ireland - chilly with a chance of rain.

That said, these India fans aren't letting it get them down, they're really bringing the party to Stormont!

So, Ireland are unchanged for the second T20I. Harry Tector earns his 100th T20I cap.

The big news, however, comes from the India camp.

Two changes to their XI, with batting all-rounder Suryansh Shedge replacing Washington Sundar and pacer Prince Yadav coming in for Prasidh Krishna.

15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has not been selected.

Ireland XI: Tim Tector, Ross Adair, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker (c, wk), Ben Calitz, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Liam McCarthy, Jai Moondra, Matt Hollard, Matthew Humphreys.

India XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Suryansh Shedge, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav.

India captain Shreyas Iyer has won the coin toss.

For the second match in a row, he's elected to bowl first.

A bit of news from Stormont...

There will be two debuts for India but teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi isn't one of them.

The 15-year-old will have to wait for his opportunity to break Sachin Tendulkar's record as India's youngest men's international.

Full team news coming up.

Oh dear, is this the end of summer, Andy?

We were expecting toss and team news at 13:00 BST, so it's a little bit of a waiting game to see what sort of delay we're facing.

It's currently raining in Belfast after a beautiful few days. It is summer in Northern Ireland, after all.

It's certainly clouded over a good bit and the rain is only light drizzle for now, so we'll see how this impacts things.

It's been a fantastic few days for Irish cricket. 24 hours after the senior men's team stunned India, Ireland's women beat West Indies by six wickets to secure their first win at a Women's T20 World Cup.

An all-round bowling performance saw Ireland restrict West Indies to 128-7 in Bristol before Orla Prendergast broke the back of their chase with 63 runs off 44 balls.

She was dismissed in the 16th over with 21 runs required from 28 balls, but Rebecca Stokell held her nerve to see Ireland home with 11 balls to spare.

"It just means so much - we've had the belief throughout this tournament and it just hadn't come together," Prendergast told Sky Sports.

Ireland are without no fewer than six players due to injury for this series, with Paul Stirling, Josh Little, Mark Adair, Curtis Campher, Barry McCarthy, and Jordan Neill all unavailable. Together, they have a combined 493 T20I caps.

But in their absence, two debutants stepped up to help Ireland stun India, with Matt Hollard and Jai Moondra sharing five wickets.

"It was a big stage for me, for my family and my team members, they were all rooting for me so all I can do is keep calm and keep doing what I have been doing because it's kept me levelling up," said Indian-born pacer Moondra.

"I was feeling excitement at the same time. Testing myself against India and getting a first-ball wicket, I was trying not to be overwhelmed because we still had nine wickets to go.

"It is a dream come true to get on to an international platform and play against India. It's something special, a class feeling."

Matt Hollard impressed with 3-28 on debut – including the wickets Ishan Kishan and captain Shreyas Iyer - while Jai Moondra (2-25) struck with his first ball in international cricket to remove the dangerous Sanju Samson in the second over.
