4.2 to JA McCollum, caught behind! Cottrell brings out the salute celebration. Length ball in the corridor, McCollum chases it and gets a healthy edge. A regulation catch for Shai Hope behind the stumps. 19/1

31.3 to PR Stirling, caught at fine leg. Finally the breakthrough via the short ball. This was better than the short balls Stirling has been pulling with impunity, on target and hustled him a bit. Went for the hook again, but only got a top edge. Fine leg is back and holds it in front of his face, looks back to make sure he's not near the rope - he isn't. End of a good innings by Stirling. 165/2 33.2 to WTS Porterfield, got him! Having a slip in there in the 34th over works for West Indies. Good ball on the stumps, and moving across a touch. He's too early into the flick, and the leading edge flies to the widish lone slip.. 173/3
Jason Holder	10	0	55	1	5.50	30	1	3	0	0
47.5 to KJ O'Brien, bouncer this time, and Holder gets his man. O'Brien cannot control the hook and ends up hitting it towards short fine leg where Cottrell gobbles the ball. 299/5

43.5 to A Balbirnie, a low full toss around off, Balbirnie gets his timing wrong this time and ends up hitting it in the air. Holder runs in from long-off and takes it near knee height. 257/4

38.3 to RL Chase, bowled'im. Fuller on the stumps. Chase was on the back foot and fails to get his bat on it and the ball sneaks in to hit the leg stump. Kept a little low as well. 240/3
George Dockrell	9	0	53	0	5.88	17	4	0	1	0
Boyd Rankin	7.5	0	65	3	8.29	17	5	3	3	0
12.4 to SD Hope, brilliant catch by McCollum at point. short and wide outside off, Hope has a slash at it, but it's uppish and to point's right. He dives to his right and holds on with both hands. Ireland have a breather with the opening stand broken.. 84/1 39.6 to SW Ambris, caught at short third man. Slower length ball outside off, Ambris looks to steer it past the fielder but ends up lobbing it straight to him. Second catch for McBrine. 252/4 47.4 to JO Holder, fuller around off, Holder looks to finish it with a six, tries to repeat the shot from earlier in the over but it's a slower one and he can only sky it to Porterfield near mid-off. 327/5
Paul Stirling	4	0	14	1	3.50	13	1	0	0	0
19.1 to DM Bravo, Stirling breaks through. Fuller around off, in the slot for Bravo and he goes for it, looking to clear long-off but doesn't get the power behind it and ends up hitting right down McBrine's throat there. 112/2
