A four from Lorcan Tucker off Blessing Muzarabani gets Ireland on the board on day four.

The players are out and we are ready for action on day four here at Stormont.

Zimbabwe paceman Richard Ngarava took four wickets in a superb spell to leave Ireland 33-5 in a run chase of 158 to win the Test match at Stormont.

The hosts were in a commanding position after bowling Zimbabwe out for 197 in their second innings on Saturday afternoon.

But Ireland were reduced to 6-3 and 21-5 as Ngarava ripped through the top order, with Zimbabwe's charge only halted when bad light brought a premature end to play.

There were ducks for PJ Moor, Curtis Campher and Harry Tector while Andrew Balbirnie (4) and Paul Stirling (10) also fell cheaply.

Ngarava finished the day with career-best figures of 4-12 while Blessing Muzarabani also picked up a wicket.
