8.15pm Stirling and O'Brien gave Ireland a blazing start and took them to 50 in just 3.3 overs but Pollard once again pulled it back by striking in his first over. He ended with three wickets as did Bravo with Ireland slipping from 74 for 2 to 138 all out. Doesn't like a challenging total but can Ireland make a game out of it? We will be back soon to find out.
