11.5 to Nizakat Khan, leg-side wide and swift work from Wilson to knock the bails off. Has Khan been stumped? He is in trouble, he has to depart. This was an innocuous ball down leg, Khan can't glance it away with the angle. He loses his balance, falls over and drifts out of the crease. He can't turn back in time while Wilson shows off his reflexes.... 65/3
13.4 to JJ Atkinson, Atkinson makes room again, KOB hits the top of off now. KOB has his hands aloft in joy. Back of a length, the batsman aims to run it down to third man and misses. The ball kisses the face and disturbs the stumps. 83/5

8.2 to PR Stirling, impressive running catch at deep midwicket. Irfan breaks the stand. Back of a length and outside off, Stirling does not control a pull. Miscues it in the air off a top edge, Nadeem runs forward and then to his left to pouch it. 52/2
18.3 to SW Poynter, edged behind. Ireland are sliding quickly. Back of a length and jags in outside off. He loads up for a pull and can only under-edge it to Atkinson. The umpires check for a possible no-ball. Irfan's footing is fine and Poynter has to go.. 106/7
