    It looks like they have come off at just the right time as the rain is coming in heavily now.

    Any shots that go up high in the sky are going to be difficult to catch in this wind.

    We are seeing some very inventive batting from Ireland and it is putting India under a bit of pressure.

    Oh that is some shot. Inventive stuff from Gaby Lewis who reverse sweeps new bowler Deepti Sharma fine for four.

    Lewis is into the 20s now, the opener could do with a good knock having run partner Amy Hunter out earlier.

    The weather vane is not only spinning around, it is rocking back and forward. I hope they have got some strong glue on that thing.

    Change of bowler as Shikha Pandey comes into the attack. She starts with a wide but bounces back with a dot.
