Ireland take on India in the first of five one-day games, also involving South Africa, taking place at Stormont in Belfast
India choose to field and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth makes an early breakthrough, dismissing Kenneth Carroll for seven
Wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik takes a spectacular catch to remove Carroll and leave Ireland 14-1
Dominick Joyce and Will Porterfield move the hosts onto 47 before the former is caught by Sourav Ganguly off Sreesanth
Porterfield is cleaned up by Ajit Agarkar before Piyush Chawla bowls Gary Wilson to leave Ireland struggling on 75-4
Chawla also claims the wickets of Kevin O'Brien and Andrew White as Ireland continue to toil to 111-6
Niall O'Brien top scores with a well-crafted 52 but is caught by new-boy Rohit Sharma off Rudra Pratap Singh
Kyle McCallan is bowled by RP Singh and captain Trent Johnston falls to Sreesanth for 34 as Ireland post 193
India take to the middle after a rain delay but quickly lose Sachin Tendulkar to Roger Whelan with the score on nine
Gautam Gambhir joins Sourav Ganguly after the early wobble and steers India past 100 for no further loss
The Ireland attack has few answers as Ganguly and Gambhir both ease to fifties by the 25-over stage
It is left to former captain Ganguly to hit the winning runs as he helps guide India to a comprehensive nine-wicket win
