Andy Flower and Sanjay Manjrekar will dissect that innings for you. On the other side of the break, everybody's favourite, Alan Gardner, will be fit and firing to bring you the chase.

If you're an Irish fan, look away. Sure, the pitch wasn't easy to bat on but they didn't help their cause with some of the shot selection. Arshdeep was superb in his first spell, a fully fit and firing Hardik had an excellent day out with the ball while Siraj and Bumrah were super steady. India ticked every single box they would've hoped to on the field. Onto the batting now. Wonder if they'll look to score quickly to try and give their NRR an early leg up.

"Always special to play for the country, WC is something I've been able to contribute," Hardik says after his 3/27. "I really liked the first wicket. Generally don't hit the stumps often, I have a tendency to bowl back of a length, but on this wicket I needed to be a lot fuller to be in the game. Yes if you bowl short, the ball may fly. It's always fantastic to see crowd supporting us, we Indians are everywhere, we rule the world. Good to have so much support, many thanks to them."

Meanwhile, we're also building up to an emotional farewell game of one of India's sporting icons. Sunil Chhetri's 94 goals for India put him alongside Ronaldo and Messi, but India's greatest-ever footballer has many more incredible numbers. With his national team career ending tomorrow, here are the best statistics from a record-breaking 19 years.

Arshdeep Singh to White, 1 run, OUT, scythed away into the gap at deep point. But that's absolute hara-kiri from the batters. Total breakdown in communication. White wanted to come back for the second to keep Delany on strike for the next over, but the throw from the deep was right on the bounce to Pant, who whipped the bails off. White took off for the second and just stopped. As it turns out, even if he'd hared instantly on the turn, chances of making it back were remote.

Arshdeep Singh to White, 1 no ball, rip roaring bouncer that White somehow manages to evade. And it looks like that's the third bouncer of the over so it's a no-ball. Freehit coming up

Anil: "The Caribbean leg has done a better job of pricing their tickets...you could fly to Guyana, watch a match and return to NY for cheaper than watching it here. "
