There was swing with the new ball, it got better after 5-6 overs. Thought it would get harder with the moisture but didn't. It's good to bowl Test match line and length, glad it worked out.

This is a bail-trimmer. Back of a length and veers back in sharply, Balbirnie aims to force the ball away off the back foot, but misses it altogether. Bhuvneshwar hits his target. 1/1 Hardik Pandya 2 0 26 1 13.00 5 2 2 1 0 1.2 toPR Stirling, Chipped to mid-off running back. Ireland have lost both their openers inside two overs. On a similar length and outside off, Stirling aims to go over the top once again, this time he can only slice it off the bottom of the bat to Hooda who runs back from mid-off and snags the catch. 6/2 Avesh Khan 2 0 22 1 11.00 4 2 1 1 0 3.5 toGJ Delany, Avesh thinks he has his man and the finger goes up. Back of a length and holds its line outside off, Delany's front foot is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. He stays leg-side of the ball, slashes hard and nicks it off to Karthik. 22/3 Axar Patel 1 0 12 0 12.00 0 2 0 0 0 Umran Malik 1 0 14 0 14.00 1 1 1 1 0 Yuzvendra Chahal 3 0 11 1 3.66 7 0 0 0 0 BATTING R B M 4s 6s SR Deepak Hooda not out 47 29 49 6 2 162...
