    6.2 50th ODI wicket for Azmatullah Omarzai! Good length ball shapes back in sharply after hitting the deck. Balbirnie plays down the wrong line away from the body off the back foot, inside edges and ricochets onto the thigh pad, then crashes onto the top of the leg stump. Brilliant stuff from the bowler! 34/1
    6.6 Uprooted the off stump! Two wickets in the over, sent both opening batters back to the hut! Fuller length ball shapes back in a wee bit. Stirling plays the front foot straight drive and fails to get inside the line of the ball, does not connect and shatters the furniture. 39/2
    14.3 Big shout for LBW and the umpire raises his finger! Landed it on length and it spun marginally into him. Carmichael was looking to work it into the onside but missed the ball completely and it struck his front pad in front of middle and leg. Big blow for Ireland. 79/3
    33.3 Tector throws his wicket away! Looped up a fuller length ball outside off, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep away from the body, connects the leading edge and skies it high to short fine leg. The ring fielder settles underneath and completes the catch. 154/5
    18.4 Oh Tucker what have you done?! It was a half-tracker and Tucker mistimed the pull to midwicket. The ball ballooned to Gurbaz off his leading edge and the fielder did well to run backwards and hold it safely. 99/4
    49.1 Campher has picked out the cover ring fielder! Oh dear, a gem of a knock finally comes to an end! Pitched up front outside off and it was there to be hit. Campher extends his arms and attempts to whack it over the cover infield, mistimes it to the cover fielder at the edge of the circle for a regulation catch. Silent celebration from the visitors and Campher falls 4 runs short of his century. 290/7
    42.6 Soft dismissal in the end for Dockrell! Length ball angling in on middle-leg, tries to loft it over the mid-off infield, doesn't get quite hold of it and chips it to the mid-off fielder at the edge of the circle. 226/6

    5.3 McCarthy strikes and Gurbaz bites the dust! Pitched up front on the stumps, plays through the line of the ball, attempts to send it out of the ground but only manages to miscue it towards long on. The mid-on fielder tracks back, covers his ground and takes a well-judged running catch 22/2
    3.3 Straight up in the air and Zadran departs! Bouncer ball around the fifth stump channel, moves across and plays the swivel pull shot a bit early, gets the top edge and gifts a simple catch the keeper behind the stumps. 14/1
    40.3 Brilliant catch taken at deep! Sediqullah Atal departs on 98 runs. Bouncer ball darted on the stumps line, plays the swivel pull shot half-heartedly and hits it towards deep square leg. The sweeper fielder covers his ground, dives in full stretched and pouches it. Excellent effort! 223/3
