So, India's tour gets off to a winning start. Wickets for the bowlers, with the young legspinner Piyush Chawla the pick of the lot as India bowled Ireland out for 193 after winning the toss. Rain held up play for over two and a half hours, and on resumption of play India were set 171 from 39 overs. They got home with ease, Sourav Ganguly and Gautam Gambhir notching up half-centuries to seal the deal in 35 overs.
Sachin Tendulkar failed to get going as opener, but India will be pleased with the form shown by the two not-out batsmen.
Ireland take on South Africa for another one-off at this very ground tomorrow - thats a 09:45 GMT start, where George Binoy will take you through the match - while India will play the first of three games against South Africa on June 26.
I hope you've enjoyed our coverage of this game. Until next time, this is Jamie Alter, your commentator for the day, signing off. Cheers!
