That's about it from us. If you've been enjoying Ireland wicketkeeper Gary Wilson's World Cup diaries on the BBC Sport website, I'm sure you can't wait to hear what he thought about that finish.

Next up, it's Afghanistan v Scotland from Dunedin, with play starting at 22:00 GMT tonight, followed by Sri Lanka v Bangladesh in Melbourne at 03:30 GMT.

I hope you'll join us for that double-header. Thanks for your company this morning - we do appreciate it - see you on the flip side.

Cardiff Uni IrishSoc:, external We had our hearts in our mouth down here in Cardiff. Safe to say our lectures consisted of many thumb dwindling and loud Irish.

Keith Redmond:, external Moved my meetings to after lunch just so I could follow #IRLvUAE on #bbccricket. What a game!

Peter McCully:, external Ireland cricket once again showing that we Irish perform best in sport when we are the underdogs.

Well, the good folk of Brisbane - those who got along to the game - saw an absolute cracker today. We had a good start from the UAE, ended by a great spell of spin bowling by Paul Stirling, then a recovery led by Shaiman Anwar, the UAE's very first World Cup centurion.

Ireland then had a bit of a stop-start innings, with wickets falling every time they looked set - Gary Wilson (80) and Kevin O'Brien (50) put Ireland in the box seat, but still the wickets fell - and the boys in green triumphed with four balls to spare.

And in between all that, we had dropped catches, injured fielders, knife-edge DRS decisions, and my personal highlight of the day - Kevin O'Brien "doing The Crane" to celebrate catching Karate.

Gareth Murray:, external What a game, hard to believe this is the sort of World Cup match the ICC want to do away with.

Bertie Ivory-Peters:, external Ireland haven't had this much excitement in a World Cup since their Quidditch WC win. Amazing stuff.

The overwhelming message we're getting from you on social media is this: after exciting matches like that one, how short-sighted would it be for the ICC to reduce the World Cup to 10 teams and eliminate such games?

United Arab Emirates captain Mohammad Tauqir: "That's the game of cricket. We bowled very well, the spinners were playing well, but Kevin O'Brien took the game from us.

"Catches are dropped. It's part and parcel of the game, and because of the heat, some of the boys were getting cramp.

On Shaiman Anwar's first World Cup century for the UAE: "In the dressing room, his nickname is Sir Viv Richards. We knew he could do it."

Patrick Buttimer:, external I never thought that a sport could move me like watching Ireland play rugby but the cricket against UAE this morning was amazing.

Ireland captain William Porterfield: "It was a bit closer than we would have wanted but we'd take that any day of the week.

"Wickets in hand are always a big thing, especially when you've got lads like Kev and Wilson coming in. One key factor was the way we played in the last 20 overs of our innings.

"Confidence is high in the squad, and the fixtures start coming thicker and faster now."

More from man of the match Gary Wilson: "We ran a little closer than we wanted but just delighted that we've won two from two. I seemed to strike the ball nicely from the start."

Ross McDonagh:, external If 10 years ago someone told me, an Irishman, one day I'd be furiously refreshing #bbccricket scores on my phone at 3.30am, I'd have lolled...

Dave Johnson:, external Good job we're hosting in 2019. Not sure we'll be in the top 10 one-day sides at this rate.

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"Ireland now have four of the top 10 highest run chases in World Cup history."

Ireland batsman Gary Wilson, who made 80 off 69 balls: "I'm delighted to get a few. I hadn't had too many runs coming into this game.

"I was confident when I went out there - I just told myself it was my day.

"I've batted quite a lot with Kev and we dovetailed quite well, so it was great to have him coming out there."

The Lazy Hungerist:, external YES!!! Come on Ireland! Game of the tournament so far, fair play to UAE but still...

Ωjiriħ Mågµ:, external Funny enough the most tight competitive game comes from two associate teams #UAEvsIRE so far.

NeilHine:, external This is why we need a 20 team World Cup!

Ireland's top scorer Gary Wilson is named as man of the match for his 80 from 69 balls.

"Ireland have put their fans through it today. I don't think I could have been an Ireland fan for the last 10 minutes. I now know why my Dad refused to watch me play cricket in the last 10 years."

Spare a thought for the UAE - they've never beaten Ireland in a List A game, let alone an ODI, and their wait goes on.

With big hitting, great bowling, run-outs, dropped catches, injured fielders and Ed Joyce being "bowled" without the bails being dislodged, that game had just about everything. And "The Crane".

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"Wow. That's just the most remarkable finish. Ireland win the game, but they did their best to lose it."

Dockrell punches the air with delight, and the celebration begins for Ireland, who have two wins from two games and go level on points with the leaders of Pool B.

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"This game has had absolutely everything. It's been amazing."
