END OF OVER:
34 | 3 Runs 1 Wkt | ZIM: 131/10 | RR: 3.85

  • Wellington Masakadza7 (14b)
  • Simi Singh8-0-35-2
  • Shane Getkate5-0-25-1

3.42pm So Zimbabwe crumble to 131. They were 74 for 2 in the 16th over, but thereafter, it was all Ireland! McBrine and Simi rolled over the visitors after Little got two early wickets, which means Ireland would need a pretty small target to chase to try and level the series.

Remember, their target will be adjusted as per the DLS method, since the match was reduced to 38 overs after nearly 25 overs of Zimbabwe's innings were done.

We will let you know Ireland's revised target as soon we get it, but do join Shashank for the chase in 15 minutes' time.

Simi Singh to Ngarava, OUT, knocks back his off stump, and that is it! Goes for the pull to this fullish ball on off, but the ball is not all that short to play that shot. He misses, and Simi hits off stump to fold up Zimbabwe

Simi Singh to Masakadza, 1 run, full and just outside off, and driven to cover. Some confusion among the batters, but they manage a run in the end

Simi Singh to Ngarava, no run, full on middle and leg, and defended off the inside edge to short fine leg. Masakadza was way out of his crease for a run, but the throw at his end just beats the stumps, with the bowler also not collecting it
