2.40pm Would Ireland have taken 208 if you'd offered it to them before the match began? Yes, definitely. Will they be happy with 208 after being 93 for no loss after the powerplay, and 153 for no loss after 12 overs? Maybe not. Will it be enough? We will see, though you wonder if Ireland have the skills to defend this total on this pitch against this West Indies line-up. Back soon to bring you the chase.

Paul Stirling: "At one stage we were on for a little more than we got, but it's still a good total. It was down to one of us [him and Kevin O'Brien] to go on a little longer. Probably a bit difficult for a new batsman coming in. It's not going to be easy to chase, even though they've got a good batting line-up."

Cottrell to Simi Singh, OUT, and Cottrell finishes with two wickets in two balls. Full, pitched right up at Simi's feet. Flicks it and times it very well. Almost hits it all the way for six, but he finds Lewis in the way, moving to his left from deep backward square leg. The momentum nearly causes him to step over the rope, but he manages to steady himself inches from the rope

Cottrell to Wilson, OUT, gone. This one's on middle stump, length ball aiming to hit the top of middle, and Wilson swings across the line and misses

Cottrell to Dockrell, 1 leg bye, good over, this. He's making sure he's only letting Ireland hit to one side of the field. Knows Dockrell is looking to make room, so he can afford to pitch outside leg. Slower ball, back of a length, and he misses his swipe, and it rolls towards short fine leg off thigh pad

Cottrell to Wilson, 1 run, slower ball, back of a length, leg-stumpish. Pulled to the right of deep backward square leg
