- 21:36 (IST)India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: WICKET!Lorcan Tucker is out and there is the second wicket for Prasidh Krishna in his first over.

- 20:51 (IST)India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: 3 more overs remaining!5 runs came off Joshua Little's final over still he was extremely expensive in his spell.

- 20:40 (IST)India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: Fifty for Gaikwad!Ruturaj Gaikwad raced to his half-century with a four on the third ball of the over and slammed a six on the fifth ball, putting his foot on the accelerator pedal. 16 runs came off the final over of Benjamin White. He ends his quota with figures of 1 for 33.IND 129/3 (15)
- 20:28 (IST)India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: OUT!Benjamin White finally gets the reward of good bowling. It was a googly that took the edge of Sanju Samson's willow and crashed onto the stumps. Samson departs after a fine knock of 40 off 26 balls. Rinku Singh comes in to bat next.IND 105/3 (12.2)
- 20:19 (IST)India vs Ireland, 2nd T20I Live: SIX!A poor short ball on the body of Sanju Samson from Josh Little and the batter pulls it away for a big six over backward square leg. 18 runs off the over already! The final ball is a dot ball and that keeps India one short of 100 at the end of this over.IND 99/2 (11)
