Conversely, Ireland has yet to notch a win in this tournament.

They are having a chat with reserve umpire Richard Kettleborough and third umpire Chris Gaffaney. And as we wait for the further update, the sun has disappeared into the clouds. There will be another inspection at 9 PM IST (11:30 AM Local Time).
