What a catch! Both Indian openers are back in the pavilion. Matt Hollard with a stunning catch. The Indian fans are not looking happy in the crowd. Shreyas Iyer is under pressure now.
Sharma c Hollard b Moondra 0 (Ind 1-2)
What is happening in Stormont?!?!?
Abhishek Sharma edges Jai Moondra over short third and Matt Hollard takes a fine tumbling catch as the ball swirls above him.
Two wickets in four balls for Moondra. Both of India's openers out for golden ducks.
Kyle McCallan
Ex-Ireland all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3
What a start for Ireland! Jai Moondra strikes again. It's proving to be an easy game for him. It was a left-armer's dream delivery. India are in trouble.
Samson lbw b Moondra 0 (Ind 0-1)
Crashing into Sanju Samson's leg stump!
For the second match in a row, Jai Moondra has struck with his first ball. For the second match in a row, he's dismissed Sanju Samson.
Wow.
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN!
Or has he?
A swinging delivery clatters into Sanju Samson's pads and the finger goes up! Ireland erupt. Samson silences them with the T symbol. We're going upstairs.
The players are back out in the middle.
Jai Moondra, who struck with his first ball in international cricket on Friday, is bowling to Sanju Samson.
Some breaking news to bring you from the world of English cricket.
Test captain Ben Stokes has announced his retirement from international cricket, with the ongoing Test against New Zealand his final outing.
You can keep across that breaking story here.
(But don't go too far because India are about to start their chase of 155 at Stormont).
Ireland captain Harry Tector speaking to TNT Sports: "A bit of a scratchy 50 for me but delighted to get there on my 100th cap.
"The pitch was a little slower than on Friday and it was frustrating at times, but I just focused on helping the team and whoever was at the other end.
"Our bowlers will go out there with the same mindset as game one and hopefully get a few early wickets."
It was a bit of a mixed bag from Ireland with the bat.
They laboured to 48-3 midway through the eighth over before Ben Calitz injected a bit of oomph into the innings, scoring 37 runs off 23 balls and putting on 65 (44) for the fourth wicket with Harry Tector.
Calitz and Gareth Delany fell to back-to-back deliveries from Shivam Dube in the 15th over but Tector's half-century on his 100th T20I outing helped the hosts beyond 150.
He top-scored with 53 (47). Debutant Prince Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with 3-22.
So, Ireland finish on 154-8, meaning India are chasing 155 to win the second T20I and tie the series 1-1.
Remember, India lost the first T20I by 34 runs and need to win to avoid a first T20I series defeat since August 2023.

Prince Yadav bowled brilliantly today. He looked comfortable in his debut game. He has got something different about him and he was very impressive picking up 3 wickets.
Ireland have got a decent enough score on the board and they'll have a chance at defending it.
Isobel Joyce
Former Ireland cricketer speaking on TNT Sports
An excellent return on debut for Prince Yadav. Two wickets in the final over and a really impressive return.
McCarthy c Kishan b P Yadav 2 (Ire 154-8)
The innings finishes with a wicket, Liam McCarthy this time skying one to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.
No nerves from Prince Yadav in the final over. Two wickets and just five runs conceded. He finishes with 3-22 on his T20I debut.
Ed Joyce
Former Ireland women's coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3
It is windy out there and Ishan Kishan done well with that catch. Credit to Harry Tector - he dug in and scored 53.
Andy Gray
BBC Sport NI at Stormont
I'm all about the big stories here, so here's a towel update.
The rain has now stopped at Stormont but Sooryavanshi is still wearing it on his head to protect him from the sun, which has made another appearance.
It's versatile and fashionable.
Four seasons in a day in Belfast, which is often the case.
H Tector c Kishan b P Yadav 53 (Ire 153-7)
Harry Tector skies a shorter ball high into the air and Ishan Kishan takes a sharp diving catch behind the stumps.
He falls for 53 (47).
Two balls to come.
Comfortably going down leg. Carry on.
Chaos in the middle. India's players are appealing for an lbw against Harry Tector. Liam McCarthy is halfway down the track from the non-striker's end. Tector is standing his ground.
Everyone's standing around the ball but no one throws down the vacant stumps.
Eventually, India review.
Isobel Joyce
Former Ireland cricketer speaking on TNT Sports
Harry Tector waited that one out beautifully and a lovely moment for his 50 on his 100th cap.
He got off to a slow start and got a let-off when Prince Yadav missed the stumps when he was on 11. However, if you let Tector off the hook, he will make you pay.
Ire 149-6
Harry Tector brings up a half-century on his 100th T20I cap with a four off the final ball of the over. Picked the gap between point and third beautifully.
He's on 51 off 44 balls.
