Hardik Pandya: Always special to play for the country, always good to play for pride. I have been able to contribute in the World Cups, god has been kind. That was an outstanding effort by Axar, those are the catches when you let your hand-eye co-ordination let in. I really liked the first wicket, don't hit the stumps often as I usually bowl short of a length. I needed to be fuller than back of a length today. On this kind of surface you need to be disciplined and hit the right areas. It's always fantastic to see the crowd, we Indians are everywhere, we rule the world, good to have their support.

11:59 Local Time, 15:59 GMT, 21:29 IST: This ground and its conditions were already under scrutiny after the South Africa-Sri Lanka game, now more questions will be asked especially with the big India v Pakistan encounter to be played here. There was plenty of help for the fast bowlers and India made the most of it. Arshdeep struck twice in his second over to send back to Ireland openers and it was just the start as the rest of the pacers joined the party to reduce the score to 50/8. Delany and Little threw their bats around and added 27 for the 9th wicket and that was the highest partnership of the innings. Bumrah broke that partnership and a mix-up between in the last pair ended Ireland's essay on 96. It is not a big total but the pitch is not a belter. Let's see how the Indian batters go about this chase. Back soon..

Delany 21* - Highest individual score in two T20Is in New York..
