Out! Oh my my, Ireland have completely turned the game around in one over. Barry McCarthy bowls a double wicket maiden and pulls Ireland back into the game straightaway. Dismisses Usman Khan and Shadab Khan putting Pakistan in big trouble now. 

Out! Mohammad Rizwan perishes. Plays the same old hoik over square leg to a ball bowled at his hips and Mark Adair takes a stunning catch to end Rizwan’s stay at the crease. A chaotic powerplay for Pakistan comes to an end. There has been many plays and misses, two wickets and a few boundaries. Pakistan are well ahead here and will look to close the win soon. 

A scratchy start from Pakistan openers Mohammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub. They looked cautious trying to counter the early movement, but Saim tried to play his shots, mostly ending up unsuccessful. He was finally able to hit one off the bowling of Mark Adair which gave them a move on. 

Josh Little’s cameo at this stage of the innings has come like golddust for Ireland. Curtis Campher and Mark Adair’s dismissal almost felt like curtains down for them but they kept struggling and somehow made their way over the 100-run mark. Ireland bowlers have something to bowl at and they will look to make life difficult for the Pakistan batters. 

Out! Imad Wasim cleaned up Barry McCarthy and Pakistan are cleaning up the Ireland tail quickly here. Imad slowed it down and Barry McCarthy game himself too much room and his furniture was in shambles. Josh Little and Ben White are the last pair and they are struggling here to scrap some runs. 

Out! Ireland has been creeping their way into the game with the partnership of Gareth Delaney and Mark Adair. But Imad Wasim got into the attack and foxed Delaney to make him lob a catch into the hands of backward point. Ireland are in trouble again and getting over 100 should be their goal now. 

Out! Things are going from bad to worse for Ireland. Haris Rauf was threatening with his sheer pace and Curtis Campher throught to take it on. The bounce was too hard to manage and he got a top edge which was taken thankfully by the fielder on the edge of the circle. Ireland are now all in sea. 

Out! As George Dockrell looked to attack, Mohammad Amir foxed him. A cutter from Amir and Dockrell was a little too early into the push. The ball lobbed up and Amir took it himself. Half the side of Ireland is now gone and they are gathering scraps now. Pakistan on top and they are really putting the foot down. 

Shaheen Shah Afridi continues picking wickets as he dismisses Harry Tector ending his short but troubled stay on the crease. George Dockrell understood there is no suriving here and counter-attacked Shaheen hitting him for a few boundaries. Ireland in trouble here and they will need something big to break the jail. 

Out! Disastrous start from Ireland. They have lost their entire top order in just 12 balls and with 4 runs on board. The pitch has been under covers for a long long time and definitely it has retained a lot of moisture. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir made good use of it to clean up Andy Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker and Paul Stirling. Ireland have an uphill task here.
