- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Four dot balls and a wicket! Back of a length ball on the pads of Johnson, he heaves it away but straight to deep backward square leg. 28/22.2 And he's gone now. So he can't cash in on the reprieve from the earlier over. Short of a length ball outside off, he looks to carve it over point but does not get enough elevation and backward point takes a simple catch 12/16.5 Sliced high and Little has taken a lovely catch running to his right from deep third. Length ball outside off, with just a hint of away shape. Pargat looks to go over cover, but the bat turns in his hand again, and he ends up skying the ball. Little sprints across, settles underneath the ball and completes a good catch. That was a wobble seam delivery from Young. 42/38.1 Easy peasy! As nonchalant as it gets. Bit of a drag down on middle stump, Bajwa was looking to work it to the onside, gets a leading edge and Delany plucks a catch one-handed to his right with minimum of fuss. Bajwa can't quite believe what's happened. 53/418.4 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 128/519.6 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 137/718.6 taken at long-on! McCarthy breaks Canada's momentum in the closing stages. Heyliger was standing outside leg, as McCarthy bowled on the shorter side of a length outside off. Heyliger went through with the free swing of the bat, but ended up pulling straight to the fielder on the boundary 128/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL137/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Navneet Dhaliwal, 2.2 ov), 2-28 (Aaron Johnson, 4.6 ov), 3-42 (Pargat Singh, 6.5 ov), 4-53 (Dilpreet Bajwa, 8.1 ov), 5-128 (Nicholas Kirton, 18.4 ov), 6-128 (Dilon Heyliger, 18.6 ov), 7-137 (Shreyas Movva, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 As easy as they come and Canada are all over Ireland. Bowls this from the front of the hand on off stump. Balbirnie was looking to clip that away, gets a bit of a leading edge and Siddiqui takes the simplest of catches. 32/25.4 Stirling throws it away! This is excellent pressure applied from the Canada bowlers. Back of a length ball on the stumps. Stirling goes for the hard pull, gets a top edge that balloons straight up. The keeper gets across and takes a comfortable catch 26/19.6 Oh, indecision with the running. Has Tucker run himself out? Looks like he has. Where was he running off to? Gives himself room to the length ball outside off and cuts to backward point. Sets off even with the ball in Kirton's hand. He fires in a good throw and Saad just about holds on to run Tucker out. This is slipping away quickly from Ireland. 50/47.4 And he gets his man now! What a big wicket this is for Canada and Ireland are in deep trouble now. This one went on straight with the arm pitching on off and going on to beat Tector and clipping the top of his off bail 41/310.5 nicely taken at fine leg! Ireland unravelling here in pursuit of 138. Johnson placed at a straightish fine leg moved to his left, before diving forward to grab this low. Heyliger again went on a short of a length, almost cramping the batter for room this time. Campher still went ahead with the ball, and the extra bounce meant the ball took off from the top edge for a good catch by Johnson 53/512.3 tickled to the keeper! Somebody listen to the Canada players' jubilant voices on the field. Heyliger bowled on a length on fifth stump, angling the ball into the right-hander. Delany waited for the ball to come to him, and poked at it after it came back in. He played with a flat bat, and the top edge went to the keeper, who Movved to his right while going a bit low to pouch it 59/619.2 caught and bowled! Gordon comes back into the attack, and checks Ireland straightaway. He banged it in on the shorter side of a length once more, with the line being around sixth stump. Adair went ahead with the pull shot, but ended up ballooning the ball. Eventually, Gordon ended up very close to where the striker is, and took it with a reverse cup 121/7Extras9 (b 3, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL125/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Paul Stirling, 5.4 ov), 2-32 (Andy Balbirnie, 6.2 ov), 3-41 (Harry Tector, 7.4 ov), 4-50 (Lorcan Tucker, 9.6 ov), 5-53 (Curtis Campher, 10.5 ov), 6-59 (Gareth Delany, 12.3 ov), 7-121 (Mark Adair, 19.2 ov)
