- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 And there's the breakthrough! McCarthy hits back with an outswinger that draws the edge! Late swing away on this full ball outside off and King goes for another expansive drive but can only nick it to second slip where the experienced Balbirnie makes no mistake 20/17.5 Driven straight to cover point! This is another outswinger outside off and Lewis drives hard. Gets it off the outside half of the bat and it flies to Dockrell, who does well to hold on! West Indies lose their second 46/236.4 Touch short and nibbles away late from fifth stump line on off, he backs away a little and pokes at the wide delivery, bounced steeply and he feathered it to the keeper, so couldn't tee off after getting to the milestone. Nevertheless, a tremendous knock that has laid the foundation for a massive total. It's up-to middle-order to take the baton and go berserk in the last 14 overs 213/522.5 Oh he's nicked it one short of a half-century! Liam McCarthy picks his maiden international wicket, and what a big one it is! Length ball outside off, just seaming away enough to take the edge as Hope fends at it and Tucker gobbles it up. It's a thin edge but Hope is walking even before the umpire has signalled it. McCarthy is pumped up, with his hands going up in celebration even before Tucker took the catch! 127/333.1 Oh the break has brought a wicket! Tossed up full outside off and Jangoo goes after it, losing shape too as he looks to drive it over covers. Gets a thick edge that carries to short third's right and Stirling takes a good catch! Ireland needed a wicket badly and they've got it 187/443.1 Jockeys across off in a bid to improvise and ramp, exposes his stumps and manages to connect but finds Sitrling at s fine leg who takes a sharp catch, almost as a knee-jerk reaction, instinctively flicked his hands over his head and swallowed it, fantastic piece of fielding that gets West Indies vice-captain out of the equation. Ireland get reward for building pressure over last few overs 246/646.5 Sounds the death rattle, brilliant yorker on leg, he shuffles across and was lining up to target fine leg region, missed the line. Gets a standing ovation from his teammates, played a quintessential finisher's role; incredible knock, very entertaining 314/749.6 Pinpoint accurate yorker right into the blockhole, at the base of off-stump and the bails are flying all over the place, no celebration as he knows the damage is done 352/8Extras16 (lb 5, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL352/8 (50 Overs, RR: 7.04)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Brandon King, 2.3 ov), 2-46 (Evin Lewis, 7.5 ov), 3-127 (Shai Hope, 22.5 ov), 4-187 (Amir Jangoo, 33.1 ov), 5-213 (Keacy Carty, 36.4 ov), 6-246 (Roston Chase, 43.1 ov), 7-314 (Matthew Forde, 46.5 ov), 8-352 (Gudakesh Motie, 49.6 ov)
