  1. Ire 110-6

    Need 28 from 12

    The stand is worth 51. Whatever happens, Canada have been superb. Another super over?

    Clive Lloyd.

  2. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    George Dockrell has this ability that whatever the length he can hit it straight to the boundary. You'll be rewarded for that on this ground.

  3. Ire 107-6

    Need 31 from 15

    West Indians. Of course. Loads to go at.

    Malcolm Marshall.

  4. Ire 106-6

    Target 138

    Dockrell gets it through! Slapped past mid-off for four.

    Wayne Daniel.

  5. Timothy Abraham
    BBC Sport at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York

    The Irish fans are on their feet and the tricolours are fluttering. Ireland fans believe.

  6. Ire 102-6

    Need 36 from 18

    WinViz has Ireland at 25-75% against Canada at the Men's T20 World CupBBC Sport/CricViz

    12 an over required. Ireland probably need one big over.

    I'll be honest, I might not have many names left.

    James Marshall.

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

    Ireland are back in it. Can Canada hold their nerve? I'm not so sure.

  8. 6 runs

    Ire 102-6

    Need 36 from 19

    Take that! Mark Adair is in there fighting! This is whipped away for six.

    Hamish Marshall.

  9. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    Good use of those conditions from Mark Adair to get that boundary.

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

    Ireland need to take it deep and test the nerve and ticker of Canada.

  11. Ire 94-6

    Need 44 from 21

    Now Mark Adair gets in on the act. Kaleem is back into the attack and Adair flicks him behind square for four. Ireland still fighting.

    Ross Taylor

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

    The commitment in the field from Canada has been amazing.

  13. 6 runs

    Ire 88-6

    Target 138

    And that!

    Dockrell goes straight back down the ground for six.

    50 needed off four. Dockrell is Ireland's slim hope.

    Grant Elliott.

  14. Ire 78-6

    Target 138

    Ireland need some more of this. Dockrell, who has been out there for ages, swings a one-bounce four over deep mid-wicket.

    Bruce Martin.

  15. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    Canada have been outstanding. They would really deserve this win if they can take it.

  16. Ire 74-6

    Target 138

    By the way, for students of this sort of thing, England was a rich mine of cricketers with two first names. Australia a barren desert (no jokes). New Zealand showing promise.

    Daryl Mitchell.

  17. Andrew Leonard
    Irish cricket commentator on BBC Sounds

    There was an air of inevitability about this from Ireland's first 10 overs. Their bowling wasn't great.

    As a consequence, they are looking at their World Cup being over before it even started.

  18. Ire 70-6

    Target 138

    Ireland need to score as many runs in the final six overs as they have managed in the first 14, with only four wickets in hand. It isn't happening.

    Mark Craig.

  19. Ire 69-6

    Target 138

    Blame Canada.

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to think of that. You'll be singing it for the rest of the night.

    Rachin Ravindra.

  20. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Can Ireland use their experience having seen more tight games to pull themselves out of the hole they've dug themselves into?
