John Blain	6	1	19	1	3.16	25	1	0	0	0
8.2 to WTS Porterfield, he's gone! It was a short ball that Porterfield attempted to pull. He got a top edge and flew down to Hoffman at fine-leg who takes a good catch, it hung in the air for what seemed like an age. 18/1

Majid Haq	10	0	59	3	5.90	30	2	2	1	0
26.1 to AC Botha, he's gone, he was playing on the front foot as he played to leg, he missed and dragged his back foot out of the crease and Smith completes a good stumping. 80/3 47.2 to NJ O'Brien, down the pitch again but he doesn't get to the pitch and it's straight through his and hits middle stump. Excellent innings from O'Brien. 193/6 47.5 to DT Johnston, he's gone this time, coming down the pitch again Haq threw it in a little quicker, Smith takes an easy stumping. 200/7

3.3 to DF Watts, it was full and driven back to the bowler, Langford-Smith juggles it three times before finally holding on. 13/1
Andre Botha	9	2	27	3	3.00	35	0	1	0	0
16.3 to NS Poonia, he's gone, that was just a build up of pressure as he tried to drive over mid-on, he missed and the ball crashed into the stumps. 66/2 44.5 to RR Watson, that's a huge wicket and could win it for Ireland, he tried to swing a full ball over O'Brien at mid-wicket but like McCallum he doesn't quite catch it on the maiddle and is caught on the rope. 172/5 46.5 to CJO Smith, bowled, it was yorker length and Smith backed away to give himself room, he missed an attempted drive and the ball crased into off stump, good bowling. 182/7

20.3 to RO Hussain, he's gone and that's his first wicket for Ireland. Hussain came down the pitch but was decieved as the ball spun down the leg-side where O'Brien took an easy stumping. Big celebations by the Irish players. 72/3
Kyle McCallan	10	1	35	1	3.50	37	0	1	0	0
43.1 to NFI McCallum, a big wicket, it was just a little short and he tried to clear the boundary at square-leg, but he can't get enough on it and Botha takes a smart catch. 167/4
Alex Cusack	6.3	0	26	2	4.00	20	2	0	0	0
47.3 to PJC Hoffmann, another one goes and this is turning into a procession, it was a yorker that he tried to drive, but again with no foot movement he misses. 187/8 49.3 to GD Drummond, and that's the game for Ireland, it was on off stump and Drummond played away from his body and got a fine edge through to O'Brien. Umpire Hair raised the finger with no hesitation. 199/10
