Jasprit Bumrah returned to international cricket after a year out due to injury and immediately made an impact, striking twice in his first over in the first T20I against Ireland. This is how ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball commentary recorded the over.
0.1 Bumrah to Balbirnie, FOUR runs
Not a good start for Bumrah, a great start for Balbirnie. Full and straight and just a gentle nudge behind square sees the ball race away as Ireland get off the mark
