    WICKET

    Imad Wasim c Tector b Campher 4 (Pak 62-6)

    Pakistan are imploding here!

    Imad Wasim lays back and carves away outside off, but the ball hurtles to Harry Tector, who takes it just to his right.

  2. WinViz gives Pakistan an 83% chance of winning, Ireland 17%CricViz

  3. Pak 57-5

    Curtis Campher finds some pace and bounce, whistling one off a good length past Babar Azam's nose off the first delivery following a drinks break.

  4. Pak 57-5

    Target: 107

    Well, well, well, I didn't think there was going to be any jeopardy in this run chase but it proves that no-one knows anything. Especially me.

    Imad Wasim has joined Babar Azam, and Pakistan really need a captain's innings from one of the world's best.

    Game on!

  7. Daniel Norcross

    Two in three! A really good diving catch by Lorcan Tucker.

    WICKET

    Shadab Khan c Tucker b McCarthy 0 (Pak 57-5)

    What a catch, and it's game on indeed!

    Shadab Khan flicks at one down leg and Ireland wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker makes a superb grab just above the turf, diving to his left.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Now there's a little opening for Ireland.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Usman Khan c Tector b McCarthy 2 (Pak 57-4)

    And Usman Khan is out!

    Barry McCarthy gets one to climb outside off stump, and it loops high into the offside to give Harry Tector the easiest of chances.

    Game on?

  11. Pak 57-3

    Target: 107

    If Ireland can winkle out another wicket and stymie the run rate, that low scoring classic that I crave may be on the cards.

    Usman Khan is in.

  12. Peter Della Penna
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Ireland are not out of this yet.

  13. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Curtis Campher loves it, he's got his arms wide open as if to say 'why didn't you bring me on earlier?'

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Fakhar Zaman c sub (R Adair) b Campher 5 (Pak 52-3)

    Talk about a sucker punch!

    Curtis Campher replaces the injured Josh Little, and off his first, wide outside off stump, Fakhar Zaman holes out by driving it on the up straight to wide mid-off.

    He cannot believe it and has to drag himself away from the crease.

  15. Pak 52-2

    Target: 107

    Ireland have been faffing about between overs, which provokes umpire Rod Tucker into issuing a warning.

    And then Josh Little pulls up at the start of his run-up - he could have popped a calf muscle.

  16. Adair's fancy footwork sees off Rizwan

  17. Pak 52-2

    Target: 107

    I don't think we're going to see a low-scoring classic here, are we?

    Barry McCarthy's right-arm military medium is worked around easily, with only a loose drive from Fakhar Zaman off the final delivery of the over raising the blood pressure a bit.

  18. Pak 49-2

    Target: 107

    Ben White is on, but his second delivery is a dreadful half-tracker that Babar Azam slaps around the corner for an easy four.

    The leg spinner doesn't settle and is nurdled for nine off his first over.

  19. Pak 40-2

    That was lovely footwork from Mark Adair after that great grab, and it means that Fakhar Zaman is at the crease.

  20. Saim into his stride
