Test match - Afghanistan v Ireland

Ireland and Afghanistan continue their rivalry as they battle in the two countries' second-ever Test which starts in Dehradun in India on Friday.

The Irish team's home Test bow against Pakistan last May saw them producing a battling display in a five-wicket loss.

Afghanistan weren't as competitive a month later as they succumbed inside two days against India in Bengaluru.

The sides go into the match after a T20 series won 3-0 by the Afghans which was followed by a drawn one-day series.
