Some breaking news to bring you from the world of English cricket.
Test captain Ben Stokes has announced his retirement from international cricket, with the ongoing Test against New Zealand his final outing.
You can keep across that breaking story here.
(But don't go too far because India are about to start their chase of 155 at Stormont).
Ireland captain Harry Tector speaking to TNT Sports: "A bit of a scratchy 50 for me but delighted to get there on my 100th cap.
"The pitch was a little slower than on Friday and it was frustrating at times, but I just focused on helping the team and whoever was at the other end.
"Our bowlers will go out there with the same mindset as game one and hopefully get a few early wickets."
It was a bit of a mixed bag from Ireland with the bat.
They laboured to 48-3 midway through the eighth over before Ben Calitz injected a bit of oomph into the innings, scoring 37 runs off 23 balls and putting on 65 (44) for the fourth wicket with Harry Tector.
Calitz and Gareth Delany fell to back-to-back deliveries from Shivam Dube in the 15th over but Tector's half-century on his 100th T20I outing helped the hosts beyond 150.
He top-scored with 53 (47). Debutant Prince Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with 3-22.
So, Ireland finish on 154-8, meaning India are chasing 155 to win the second T20I and tie the series 1-1.
Remember, India lost the first T20I by 34 runs and need to win to avoid a first T20I series defeat since August 2023.

Prince Yadav bowled brilliantly today. He looked comfortable in his debut game. He has got something different about him and he was very impressive picking up 3 wickets.
Ireland have got a decent enough score on the board and they'll have a chance at defending it.

An excellent return on debut for Prince Yadav. Two wickets in the final over and a really impressive return.
McCarthy c Kishan b P Yadav 2 (Ire 154-8)
The innings finishes with a wicket, Liam McCarthy this time skying one to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.
No nerves from Prince Yadav in the final over. Two wickets and just five runs conceded. He finishes with 3-22 on his T20I debut.

It is windy out there and Ishan Kishan done well with that catch. Credit to Harry Tector - he dug in and scored 53.

I'm all about the big stories here, so here's a towel update.
The rain has now stopped at Stormont but Sooryavanshi is still wearing it on his head to protect him from the sun, which has made another appearance.
It's versatile and fashionable.
Four seasons in a day in Belfast, which is often the case.
H Tector c Kishan b P Yadav 53 (Ire 153-7)
Harry Tector skies a shorter ball high into the air and Ishan Kishan takes a sharp diving catch behind the stumps.
He falls for 53 (47).
Two balls to come.
Comfortably going down leg. Carry on.
Chaos in the middle. India's players are appealing for an lbw against Harry Tector. Liam McCarthy is halfway down the track from the non-striker's end. Tector is standing his ground.
Everyone's standing around the ball but no one throws down the vacant stumps.
Eventually, India review.

Harry Tector waited that one out beautifully and a lovely moment for his 50 on his 100th cap.
He got off to a slow start and got a let-off when Prince Yadav missed the stumps when he was on 11. However, if you let Tector off the hook, he will make you pay.
Ire 149-6
Harry Tector brings up a half-century on his 100th T20I cap with a four off the final ball of the over. Picked the gap between point and third beautifully.
He's on 51 off 44 balls.

It's swing mode now for Ireland. George Dockrell wasn't fully in control of that shot and was easily caught out in the deep by Patel.
Isobel Joyce
Former Ireland cricketer speaking on TNT Sports
Good pace and and good length on that ball from Arshdeep Singh. Dockrell got away with one the ball before but not this time.
Dockrell c Patel b Arshdeep 19 (Ire 144-6)
George Dockrell falls for 19 (14), picking out Axar Patel at deep point. The fielder was all alone out there - anywhere else would've been safe.
A second wicket for Arshdeep Singh.
Two overs to go. Ireland will be eyeing 170. 160 as a minimum.
Oh ho! Welcome back to the action! George Dockrell gallops down and whacks Axar Patel for six.
That might be the briefest rain delay I've experienced in cricket. The wind has blown the bad weather through mercifully quickly.
Axar Patel is bowling to George Dockrell.
