0.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Barry McCarthy strike off the second ball of the over. Ireland are up and running! Back of a length, around off. Monank Patel stays back and looks to punch on the back foot. The ball gets too big on him and finds the outside edge. Neil Rock behind the stumps makes no mistake and Monank Patel has to walk back to the pavilion for a timid score. Not the start USA were looking for! 2/1

4.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Ryan Scott tries to be adventerous and pays the price. Barry McCarthy picks up his third wicket of the game inside the Powerplay. Fuller, on the pads. Scott flicks it aerially towards deep square leg and picks up the only man stationed there. Lorcan Tucker takes a good catch above his head and USA is in a spot of bother. 16/4

2.4 OUT! TIMBER! Barry McCarthy gets another one! Bowls it on a good length, on middle and leg. Xavier Marshall advances down the track and tries to play a release shot but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball. He misses it completely and the ball sneaks past his blade and knocks the bails off. USA lose their second wicket. 10/2

3.5 OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust for USA! Tossed up, on middle and leg. Ritwik Behera gets down on one knee and looks to sweep. He misses and gets hit on the pads. Simi Singh pleads the umpire for an lbw and he raises his dreaded finger. It looked like it might be going down leg but the umpire thinks otherwise and USA have lost their third wicket inside the Powerplay now. 12/3

18.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Sushant Modani holes out now. Barry McCarthy picks up his fourth wicket of the game. A sign of relief for the Ireland camp now. Full and outside off. Modani looks to go big yet again, but does not get the desired distance on it. The ball goes towards long off, Simi Singh settles under it in the deep and pouches it comfortably. 164/6

15.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Benjamin White gets an important breakthough. He gets rid of a big fish here. Bowls it short and outside off. Gajanand Singh hangs back and looks to pull. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat to the keeper. Neil Rock behind the stump does well to collect it. An end of an excellent knock from Gajanand Singh. He has done all the damage and has laid the platform for USA to get a good score on the board. 126/5

4.5 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Saurabh Netravalkar strikes at the rigth time! A length delivery, on middle and off. Paul Stirling swings hard at it, but misses it completely. The ball knocks the stumps over and the dangerous Paul Stirling walks back to the hut. 41/2

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Just the kind of start USA were looking for. Ali Khan bowls it short, on middle. Andy Balbirnie stays back and goes for the pull shot. The ball perhaps gets too big on him. He picks out Yasir Mohammad at deep mid-wicket to perfection and has to depart now. Ali Khan is pumped up and will look to build on this. 12/1

9.2 OUT! STUMPED! Great work by the keeper behind the stumps. Floated, full and around off. Campher advances down the track and looks to go big but misses. Monank Patel collect the ball and whips the bails quickly. Another one bites the dust for Ireland. Nisarg Patel gets his first wicket and USA are looking in control here. 74/3

12.1 OUT! TAKEN! The change in bowling works. What a wicket this is for USA. Saurabh Netravalkar bowls it short, on middle. Shane Getkate pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. Ritwik Behera is stationed there. Keeps his calm, settles himself under it and takes a good low catch. Shane Getkate has to walk back to the pavilion and USA are not letting Ireland go away with the game. 97/4

14 OUT! TAKEN! Tossed up, on middle. Neil Rock gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it. Doesn't get the elevation he needed and hits it straight towards the man at long on. Ritwik Behera is present over there and he makes no mistake. Half the side back in the hut now for Ireland. 113/5

18.3 OUT! TIMBER! Simply brilliant from Ali Khan! He bags his second wicket. Sees William McClintock moving to the leg side, follows him and bowls it full and on leg. William McClintock looks to squeeze it out but misses. The ball doesn't though and rattles the stumps. 141/6
