Ireland 230-6 v Scotland

It's a little bit short from Brandon McMullen, and Gareth Delany flat-bats it for six over midwicket.

That's the first thing McMullen has done wrong so far today.

Curtis Campher has earned a bit of luck, and he gets it here.

An attempted sweep shot off Safyaan Sharif flies over Matt Cross' head and away for four.

Sharif then bowls the widest wide I've ever seen at this level, before regaining his composure and finishing the over well. Still, 11 runs came from that set.

The wrecker-in-chief earlier on, Brandon McMullen, is back into the attack.

Can he make the breakthrough?

Curtis Campher is seeing it big now, and swipes Safyaan Sharif for two fours through the leg-side.

The 200 is up for Ireland.

George Dockrell clears his front leg, and deposits Chris Greaves back down the ground for six.

He moves to 65 from 86 balls.

Mark Watt is into his ninth over, as Scotland continue to search for the elusive sixth wicket.

George Dockrell opens up his stance and hits inside-out over extra cover for four.

Nine overs left in Bulawayo - Ireland will want 250 minimum on what looks a very good batting track.

Ireland 178-5 v Scotland

Chris Sole finds George Dockrell's outside edge, but it's well wide of Matt Cross, and flies away to the third-man boundary.

He made a wonderful 91 against Oman, and although he's not been as fluent today, he's played a massively important knock.

He was put down with the score at 81-5, remember.

A nudge off the hip brings two more runs for Curtis Campher, and also brings up the hundred partnership for Campher and Dockrell, off 117 balls.

They've rebuilt excellently.

Tidy from Chris McBride, bowling plenty of cutters in an attempt to upset George Dockrell and Curtis Campher's rhythm.

Dockrell almost chips a catch straigh to midwicket, but it falls agonisingly short of the fielder.

A powerful slog-sweep from Curtis Campher sails over the midwicket boundary for the first six of the game.

It's a big strike, and perhaps a sign that Ireland are looking to kick on.

Ireland 156-5 v Scotland

Curtis Campher nudges Michael Leask into the leg-side and raises his bat for a well-made 50.

He was left out for the defeat to Oman and is making up for lost time here.

George Dockrell miscues a drive down the ground, but it comfortably clears Safyaan Sharif at mid-off.

That's the first flirt with danger Ireland have had for a while, but they continue to tick along - this partnership is now worth 82.

This pitch looks very good to bat on now.

Six runs from the first over after drinks, bowled by Michael Leask.

It'll be Chris McBride from the other end.

George Dockrell flicks Safyaan Sharif down to fine-leg for four, but the Scotland quick thinks he has his man later in the over, spearing in a yorker and pleading for lbw.

Umpire Leslie Riefer says no though, indicating that it was sliding down the leg-side.

Looked close to me...

Former Scotland captain Preston Mommsen thinks Ireland will still be targeting 250 from their 50 overs, but that much depends on this pair.

Nine runs come from Chris Greaves latest over. Might Richie Berrington turn back to Brandon McMullen?

Richie Berrington goes back to his seamers in an attempt to break this sixth-wicket partnership, but George Dockrell welcomes the extra pace of Safyaan Sharif and whips nicely through the leg-side for four.

The 50 partnership between Dockrell and Curtis Campher came up in that over. Ireland need them to keep going.

Mark Watt, as he always does, mixes things up, but neither George Dockrell nor Curtis Campher take the bait, content to rotate the strike for now.

Just four singles from Greaves' opening over, as Ireland continue to creep along.

A rare loose delivery from Mark Watt drifts down the leg-side and races away past Matt Cross for four wides.

Other than that, it's bang on the money.

When will Ireland look to accelerate? Chris Greaves is into the attack, might they look to target his leg-spin?
