Nicholas Kirton: "The pitch was a bit up and down, but the ball was coming through okay. I think we have a defendable score. When the innings had started we had thought of getting 130-140, so anything above is a bonus."

Chowdary: "@Robbie, "Movva" is a Telugu name, it's name of a village in Andhra, India." --- Movving over from Canada to India...

Zack Skewz: "Movva and a Shaker?" --- Keep Movving with those suggestions, guys!

12.09pm Canada recover from 54 for 4 to post 137, by far the highest score at his ground in this tournament. Kirton and Movva added 75 for the fifth wicket on what seemed like a much better pitch, where batters weren't getting hit by the steep bounce. There was the odd occasion of extra bounce and the ball zipping through off the surface, but that was it. That helped Kirton lead Canada's charge with 49 when Ireland must have thought of restricting them to below hundred. Meanwhile, both teams remain winless so far, so join Ashish for the chase soon.

Adair to Movva, 1 run, OUT, Movva is run-out attempting a second! They had to go for the run, with nothing to lose, though. Adair had mid-off back on the boundary for this ball, and again went for a slower delivery on a full length around off. Movva opened the face of the to loft, and got it aerially towards long-off, who raced forward to collect and throw the ball at the striker's end

McCarthy to Kirton, OUT, taken at short fine leg! Almost a collision and mix-up between Balbirnie there, and the wicketkeeper. McCarthy banged in a sharp short ball, which rose considerably on middle and leg. Kirton jumped in the crease and took his eyes off, with the ball taking off from his gloves as he looked to raise his right hand up. Simple catch in the end, though
