    Majid: Oman to win their first ever match at World Twenty20, possible target to chase.

  2. Oman 11-0 (Maqsood 8, Khawar 2)published at 2 overs

    No sign of Big Bad Boyd Rankin yet - as the second over goes to Craig Young, who's brisk but not quite Rankin's pace (or height). Some good teamwork at deep mid-wicket denies the right-handed Khawar Ali a boundary, but the batsman rides his luck as Young beats his outside edge by a whisker.

  4. Oman 8-0 (target 155)published at 1 over

    Nothing wrong with that shot at all... left-hander Maqsood crashes the second ball of the innings back past mid-off for four. Murtagh, with a slip in, keeps a good line and length for the rest of the over - until a wristy flick from Maqsood squeezes another four wide of mid-wicket. A great start from the underdogs.

    Tim Murtagh takes the opening over - with Zeeshan Maqsood (he of the spectacular catch earlier) and Khawar Ali opening up for Oman. Tin hats on.

  6. WATCH: Shahzad's outrageous shot for fourpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2016

    Nearly ready to resume in Dharamsala, but one question remaining from yesterday... How on earth do you learn to play this shot? Watch Afghanistan's Mohammad Shahzad's audacious flick for four against Scotland.

    Scotland face a must-win game on against Zimbabwe on Thursday after losing to Afghanistan yesterday. Watch highlights as the Scots fell 14 runs short.

    Reports of a possible floodlight failure at Dharamsala seem to have been exaggerated - one of the light towers went off after the Ireland innings, but it's come back on so all is well.

    Ireland batsman Paul Stirling: "I thought it was quite difficult at the start, it didn't come on quite as well as we would have hoped. After a couple of overs we thought 150 would be a good score."

    "There were a few highs and lows in the Oman bowling, but they will generally be pretty happy with the work they did in the field."
