It's been a fantastic Test with Ireland coming out victors after a splendid batting display on Sunday.

That's all from us for now and we hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for your company.

Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine spoke of his side's disappointment at not being able to capitalise on good batting openings in both innings:

"We gave ourselves a good platform in both innings but our lower order let us down a little bit with some cheap wickets."

Looking to the positives, he spoke of his side's excellent bowling attack:

"The future looks bright with fast bowlers like Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Tanaka Chivanga.

We maybe would have liked a few more overs last night but that's how this game goes. We're looking forward to welcoming Ireland in the New Year."

Ireland captain Andrew Balbirnie cut a much more positive figure being interviewed today than he did last night.

He said his side believed they could win even after the disastrous evening session yesterday:

"We spoke in the dressing room last night about how we had two of the best test batsmen at the crease and that we still believed we could win."

The Pembroke man spoke of the nature of Test cricket and never giving up:

"The beauty of Test cricket is the ebbs and flows. Last night was a tough watch but today we got our rewards for four days of hard work and we are delighted to win this Test here in front of our friends, family and fans."

Balbirnie was also full of praise for Andy McBrine and says his side are already looking forward to visiting Zimbabwe in the new year for a return Test.

Andy McBrine was awarded the Player of the Match award after taking seven wickets across the two innings and racking up a half-century today to push Ireland across the line.

He spoke of his pride in playing such a big part in this historic first test:

"I'm proud to be from the north-west so to play a part in this win is special," he said.

The Donemana man spoke of the hard work behind the scenes that got him and his side to where they are today:

"We all worked hard in the build-up to this and I worked with the bowling coaches so to see it pay off with seven wickets is fantastic."

Ireland started the day as underdogs but Andy McBrine and Lorcan Tucker have delivered a wonderful victory.

It was a Test that ebbed a flowed with Zimbabwe ending day three on top thanks to Richard Ngarava's burst of 4-12.

There was a roar from the Stormont crowd as Mark Adair hit the winning runs and there's no doubt that the first Test match in Northern Irteland has been a success.

Jubilant scenes here in east Belfast as Ireland storm back from a disastrous evening session yesterday to roar back and win this historic test.

Lorcan Tucker and Andy McBrine were at the crease on 33-5 this morning and both reached 50 to lead their country to victory. The Zimbabwe bowling attack was not close to the ferocity with which they bowled last night but the Ireland batsmen were superb.

Credit too must go to Mark Adair who stepped up after a dislocated finger yesterday and contributed after Muzarabani brought Tucker's innings to a close.

Two test wins in a row and the first on home soil for Ireland

Ireland have won it! How fitting it is that Andy McBrine strokes the boundary that wins this historic test. A half-century each from him and Lorcan Tucker supplemented beautifully by Mark Adair and it is the home fans who are celebrating.

Ireland taking their singles and are not pushing it as they edge to victory. You honestly couldn't have said yesterday leaving Stormont that you saw this coming.

Slightly optimistic appeals for an lbw on McBrine but nothing doing.

Mark Adair has grown in confidence massively and has stroked another boundary. Ireland are in sight of victory and the umpires have extended play before lunch to see if we can get a result.

What a morning for Ireland to almost completely turn this test on its head.

Ire 141-6

A super innings for Andy McBrine as he makes his way to 50. A cool, calm and collected innings from him as he adds a half-century to his seven wickets in the test. A superb match for the man from the north-west.

Victor Nyauchi's first over goes for seven as Mark Adair takes him to the boundary and Ireland are now less than 20 behind. 18 is the total.

A scoreless over for Muzarabani but Ireland will be happy enough with that. We are approaching lunch as the noisy and colorful Zimbabwean support are back. Their team will need it.

Victor Nyauchi will finally join the attack.

Every run is being applauded as the McBrine/Adair partnership moves on to 16.

Andy McBrine is edging towards joining Lorcan Tucker on a half-century as he is on 47.

Regardless of how this test finishes, the middle of the Irish order has been superb and rescued them from the doldrums.

Another three added on to the tally as McBrine and Adair look to build a partnership.

Mark Adair gets off the mark with a good boundary and a couple of singles tack on to the total. A good over for the hosts.

Andy McBrine has been trying to steady the ship after the loss of Tucker and takes just the one off Chatara.

The Irish will look to ride out that wicket and keep foraging towards that total. They are 40 away from it.

That wicket came at a vital time for Zimbabwe and gives them hope that they can clean up the tail and clinch victory.

It was a wonderful batting display from Tucker, who took the attack to the tourists and put his team in a strong position.
