    There was no communication, they were both in position but Usman gets an elbow in the face. It was a nasty one, and you kind of expect the catch to be dropped.

  2. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    Usman Khan has come off the worst, that was surreal.

    WICKET

    Adair c Afridi b Imad 15 (Ire 79-8)

    Shaheen Afridi and Usman Khan both go for the catch with the former winning the race as Adair goes from Imad Wasim's bowling.

    The two fielders collide and Usman Khan requires a bit of treamtent before continuing.

  4. Ire 79-7

    Mark Adair had moved on to 15 with Barry McCarthy at the other end.

  5. Delany smashes a six

    Ire 77-7

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    A great bit of bowling, it pitches, turns and Delany was looking to work into the onside but it was a thick leading edge.

    Delany will be kicking himself but that was a good innings and just what Ireland needed.

  7. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    I thought it might have been a good change of bowling and it has proved to be that way.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Delany c Shadab b Imad 31 (Ire 76-7)

    Gareth Delany's fine knock comes to an end as Imad Wasim gets one to turn and the Ireland batter chips it to Shadab Khan at point.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    He is striking them really well isn't he? Abbas Afridi didn't quite get it right, it was right in his hitting zone and it wasn't the best of connections but it went 71 metres.

  10. Ire 75-6

    A third maximum from Gareth Delany and all of a sudden we have a 43-run partnership for the seventh wicket.

    Much better from Ireland.

  11. Ireland's maximum man

    Ire 64-6

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    If Ireland get 120, it is defendable given the way Pakistan have been playing.

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

    He leapt up and got two hands to it but it's burst through Haris Rauf's hands and onto the boundary sponge.

  14. Ire 59-6

    Dropped catch from Haris Rauf, another difficult one, on the boundary and Mark Adair survives.

    The first four overs of this game were absolute dynamite from Pakistan.

    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    It was in the slot but Shadab Khan has turned around to Delany and almost gone, 'how dare you?!'

    But it was in his hitting arc.

  17. Ire 54.6

    Another huge shot from Gareth Delany and another maximum, this time off Shadab Khan.

  18. Ire 48-6

    Gareth Delany's batting has been a rare highlight for the Irish in this tournament and he has 15 runs on the board.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Great pickup from Delany. Clears his front leg and heaves it into the leg side.

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

    That's gone miles! It's outta here. Wow, what a shot that is.
