18:20 Tears and hugs from Ireland fans in the crowd at Hobart as Campher and Dockrell walk off the field to meet their happy team-mates. A partnership of 119 runs in 9.3 overs, after Ireland were 61 for 4 in 9.3 overs. They must be exhausted; I have not seen running between the wickets like that for such a sustained period of time in a long long time.
This result throws Group B wide open. West Indies play Zimbabwe shortly here, and if the West Indies win, it will mean two knockout games in this group on Friday.
Campher is almost in tears as he says he was struggling after receiving some bad news about his family in recent days. What resolve to produce an innings like this. "Just happy to be able to help the team to be honest, we've gone up the gears, happy it has come together now."
Tautoru: "Campher looks so sad in victory. I hope his family can find some joy today, whatever the bad news which he briefly mentioned. "
Scotland captain Berrington: We were pretty happy with the first innings, maybe missed out on a few in the back end ... We were excellent with the ball up front, with those wickets. We have to give credit to Ireland, was an exceptional knock from Curtis. We know from last year that these group situations are never straightforward. We will learn from today and come back stronger.
Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie: "Was special, can't remember a partnership as important as that. to get over the line like that ... was a special knock from George and Curtis, hopefully we can take this momentum into Friday ... We started the tournament disappointingly and then in our first inning today, great to fight back."
This game is done - I'm about to go catch by breath after that excitement - but the action continues. West Indies vs Zimbabwe, starting in about 25 minutes. Stay tuned.
astonished: "I left work about 15 minutes ago when Ireland looked done for. Imagine my disbelief when I tune back into to be greeted by this."
Vishall: "Ireland have gone at 14.2 runs per over in last 5! THAT'S CARNAGE!!!!"
12 to get off the last 2 overs. What a turnaround in the last eight overs.
Praveen: "Bishop, on the air, is very excited. He may soon say - Curtis Campher - Remember the name!"

"There was a lot of pressure, but that's why you play these games - it's for these kinds of moments," says Dockrell
Scotland's left-arm spinner says he is provided footage that helps him understand the "strengths and weaknesses" of each batter
