Jawed Darya: "For the first time after his debut on 2010, Mohammad Nabi hasn't bowled a ball on a T20I match. "
3.25pm Naveen-ul-Haq and debutant Qais Ahmad picked up three wickets each to restrict Ireland to 142 for 8. Kevin O'Brien, Gareth Delany and Harry Tector made useful contributions but Ireland kept losing wickets at regular intervals. An easy chase or can Ireland pull off a rabbit here? We will be back in about 15 minutes.
