- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Goes for a pick-up shot and picks out Fakhar Zaman at deep square who didn't have to move much to gobble that up down his throat. Just merrily flicked it away and didn't get the height on it, a backfoot flick gone awry, Ireland have lost their second pretty much due to their own shot selection 34/23.2 Mohammad Amir has taken an absolute blinder! Wow! Hits into the pitch on a hard length on a nagging off-stump line, he tried to tonk him down the ground but Amir sprinted across from mid-on and covered a lot of ground to take a superb diving catch. Paul Stirling admonishes himself after miscuing the skier. Big wicket 29/117.1 Back-to-back wickets! Another prized scalp for Pakistan. He thumps it into the pitch and gets plenty of purchase, he slices it in the air and picks out extra cover, Fakhar making no mistake, he has got a very safe pair of hands. 154/611.3 Short, albeit not that short, on fifth stump line, tries to slug that across the line over deep midwicket but finds Shaheen Afridi who ran to his right and reverse cupped it magnificently and didn't lose his balance even while falling down, covered fair bit of distance as well, crucial breakthrough because he can be dangerous customer 96/315.1 Pakistan get another breakthrough right after that little delay. Bowls an off-cutter from back of a length and creates doubt in the batter's mind who goes for the pull half-heartedly and Amir takes a regulation catch after his follow-through, couldn't pick the variation and has to take the long walk back to the pavilion 137/416.6 Spiteful bumper on an attacking off-stump line, backs away for an upper-cut and ends up feathering it to the keeper, idea was right but Naseem did well to bowl a well-directed bumper, it was a slow ball bouncer and he got troubled by that, can Pakistan get a few more and keep a lid on the score? 154/518.3 Snuffs out a feisty yorker dipping in and he has no answers to that, too good for thee, got it to reverse as well and I think it deflected off the pads onto the stumps, Shaheen liked the sight of bails flying everywhere, excellent execution of a yorker 165/7Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL193/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.65)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Paul Stirling, 3.2 ov), 2-34 (Andy Balbirnie, 3.5 ov), 3-96 (Harry Tector, 11.3 ov), 4-137 (Curtis Campher, 15.1 ov), 5-154 (George Dockrell, 16.6 ov), 6-154 (Lorcan Tucker, 17.1 ov), 7-165 (Mark Adair, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Instinctively flicks out his hand at short midwicket and the ball surprisingly sticks in it. Shorter delivery angled across off, went back, cleared his front leg and plonked it straight to the fielder, think Saim got confused for a minute and didn't go full-blooded but what a catch, sharply reflexes and Ireland strike early 6/11.4 Hume turning things around for Ireland! Back of a length delivery arcing away wide of off, tries to clonk that onto the leg side and he didn't account for the late movement, front foot pull gone awry, massive wicket as Ireland get the prized scalp of Pakistan captain. Pakistan already on the backfoot, Ireland rejoice! 13/214.3 What a snare! Is there a twist in the tale? Fakhar Zaman went down on one knee and unleashes a muscular swing but doesn't clear deep midwicket, Delany charged in from the rope and dived superbly to pocket the catch low, it was a shorter delivery and there to be hit, couldn't get under it fully and has to go. Azam Khan coming in next 153/3Extras6 (lb 3, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL195/3 (16.5 Overs, RR: 11.58)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Saim Ayub, 0.3 ov), 2-13 (Babar Azam, 1.4 ov), 3-153 (Fakhar Zaman, 14.3 ov)
