by Tim Oscroft & Alvin McCaig

  1. Pak 4-0

    Muhammad Rizwan doesn't take long to get going, plonking his foot down the pitch to the second delivery and crashing it past Adair to the long off boundary.

    Adair then moves one away from Rizwan - the Ireland seamer is asking some searching questions.

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Brilliant ball to start, shaping away. But I don't know what he's appealing for!

  3. Pak 0-0

    A beauty from Mark Adair first up, shaping one away past Muhammad Rizwan's outside edge.

  4. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    I can't quite understand how Ireland batted the overs but they did.

  5. Target: 107

    Ireland needed a bit more of Josh Little's spirit, another 20 runs could have made this run chase a bit trickier.

    But, it's a funny old game and we've seen some chases that have not gone to plan.

    Anyway, the teams are out and we'll be under way soon.

  6. Little goes large

  7. Pakistan target: 107

    Thanks Alvin, that was a sterling effort in an all-over-the-place innings from Ireland.

    Right - anyone up for a low-scoring classic?

  8. Handing over the baton

    Ire 106-9

    That was thrilling stuff in Lauderhill and hopefully there will be more drama as Tim Oscroft takes you through Pakistan's reply.

  9. Ire 106-9

    Imad Wasim concedes just three runs from the final over and Ireland set Pakistan a target of 107 for victory.

    Imad and Shaheen Afridi both took three wickets while Gareth Delany top-scored for the Irish with 31.

    Pakistan had Ireland struggling on 32-6 but a lower-order fightback means this is not over yet.

  10. Ire 103-9

    They've done it - Ireland bring up the 100 with a magnificent six from Josh Little.

  11. Ire 95-9

    Josh Little smacks a four off Shaheen Afridi and Ireland are beginning to frustrate Pakistan.

  12. Players collide as catch taken

    Ire 89-9

  13. Ire 89-9

    This is a decent recovery from Ireland after being 32-6 with the top order again failing to fire.

  14. Ire 89-9

    Pakistan appeal for a catch but the ball hits Ben White's forearm and we go on.

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

    I'd said earlier that you have got to try to see off Shaheen and Amir to find a weak link - and then Imad comes on and takes three wickets!

  16. Ire 89-9

    Ireland edging closer to a total that would give them a chance, albeit a very small one.

  17. Ire 86-9

    Just one wicket left and 14 runs short of three figures.

    Unlikely but you never know.

  18. Delany dismissed

    Ire 81-9

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    It was a great delivery, but another poor shot.

    WICKET

    McCarthy b Imad 2 (Ire 80-9)

    Barry McCarthy fails to connect and the ball goes though to strike the wickets.

    Another fine delivery from Imad Wasim.
