5.47pm A flash interview with Josh Little on the boundary line. "Can Ireland chase 174?", he is asked. "Of course, we can," he replies. This should be exciting!

5.45pm Eventually a par total from New Zealand, courtesy the unbeaten 52-ball 69 from Glenn Phillips. He batted at a strike-rate for lost of his innings, but in the slog overs he came good. A raise of the bat as he walks out. New Zealand will be pleased getting to 173, especially since they were 54 for 4 in 8.3 overs. Losh Little was Ireland's star with the ball, his four-for included the crucial wickets of Allen, Cleaver and Bracewell.

But despite that strong finish for NZ, Ireland will be quietly confident of chasing this down. After a string of heart-breaking losses this summer, will this be the game where Ireland come good? See you on the other side with the chase.

Kb: "Phillips's excellent calculated innings just might have given the edge to NZ for now. Ireland still favourites to chase this down if they can ace the powerplay period."
