August18202321:48 (IST)
IND vs IRE Live: Ireland lose both reviews!
5.2 – A failed LBW review from Ireland against Yahsasvi Jaiswal and that sees them losing their second and last review. That is really poor use of the DRS from them.

IND vs IRE Live: Pitch report
This surface is known for pace, bounce and high scoring. Nice covering of grass on this pitch, it will seam around given the overcast conditions. But if batters can get set, they can score runs. The average first innings score is around 170, but you’ll need at least 180-85 to be competitive on this surface.
