Lungi Ngidi to Mark Adair, SIX! Great shot! Short of a length ball on off, Mark Adair stays back at the crease, watches the ball closely and slashes it over deep point for a maximum. Great connection.

Kagiso Rabada to Harry Tector, OUT! Caught behind! Rabada gets his revenge. Delivers a back of a length delivery outside off, Tector stands back to slap it square of the wicket on the off side but the ball bounces extra to catch the outside edge. A simple take for Kyle Verreynne behind the wickets and Tector's stay is over.

Kagiso Rabada to Harry Tector, FOUR! Ireland have started to accelerate just at the right time. Rabada bangs in a short ball again, around leg, Tector moves back, has his eyes off the ball but he still manages to pull it down to long leg for a boundary.

Kagiso Rabada to Harry Tector, SIX! The first biggie of the match! Rabada dishes out a shortish ball around off, Tector moves back to open the leg side field and pulls it thunderously over mid-wicket. It has gone into the crowd. The umpire gets the ball back and then sanitizes. Let's see how Rabada responds.

38.1
Kagiso Rabada to Andy Balbirnie, OUT! TAKEN! Rabada comes back into the attack and gets a wicket off his first ball. Balbirnie was standing down the leg side, Rabada follows him and bowls full, Andy Balbirnie chips it straight into the hands of Tabraiz Shamsi at mid-wicket. He has to depart after playing a really good knock. Ireland would have liked to have him there in the middle till the end but he has to walk back to the shed.

37.4
Andile Phehlukwayo to Harry Tector, FOUR! Not exactly where the batsman intended it to go but Harry will take it. Fuller in length and on middle, Tector tries heaving it over mid-wicket but it takes the inner edge and speeds through backward square leg for a boundary.

37.1
Andile Phehlukwayo to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! Much needed for Ireland. Slower delivery, on a length and outside off, Balbirnie reaches out for and slices his drive over point for a boundary.

36.4
Tabraiz Shamsi to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! He looks in good touch and the break has not hampered his form much! Touch fuller on off, Andy Balbirnie drives it through the covers and fetches himself a boundary. Ireland need more of these at this stage.

31.4
Keshav Maharaj to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! Nicely timed! Pitches it up on middle, Andy Balbirnie sweeps it past backward square leg for a boundary. He is just 4 runs short of his half-century.

30.2
Tabraiz Shamsi to William Porterfield, OUT! Porterfield has gloved it! Shamsi has a wicket and he is ecstatic. The 87-run stand is broken and if we can say - the devil's number strike. Shamsi serves a flighted delivery and lands it full outside off, William Porterfield brings out the reverse sweep but fails to nail it. It lobs off his hands and loops over the keeper. Aiden Markram shows good awareness at slip to move across to his right and catch the ball. They appeal and then start to celebrate. Shamsi is surprised that the umpire has not given it. Temba Bavuma takes the DRS and the Ultra Edge detects a spike as the ball goes past the gloves. William departs after playing himself into form. A good gutsy knock by him.

27.3
Kagiso Rabada to William Porterfield, FOUR! Not in any control of the shot! Rabada digs in a pacy short ball on middle, it gets big on the batsman as William Porterfield tries to pull. The ball catches the top edge and flies over the leaping keeper for a boundary. The replays suggest that it went off the helmet but the umpire has given it as runs. William won't mind it. Also, no concussion check as the umpire is not aware.

25.2
Kagiso Rabada to William Porterfield, FOUR! Porterfield cashes in on the Free Hit! FIFTY FOR HIM, first since May 2019. Fuller in length and on middle, William clears his front leg and heaves it behind square leg for a boundary. A nice knock and comeback for William Porterfield.

23.2
Keshav Maharaj to William Porterfield, FOUR! Fine sweep shot! Full and floated on off, spinning in, Porterfield kneels down and across and sweeps it sweetly behind square leg for a boundary. Moves to 46 and the 50-run stand comes up as well.

21.4
Keshav Maharaj to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! Welcome runs for the Irish captain! Tossed up ball landing around leg, Balbirnie goes down and across as he lifts his sweep shot over short fine leg for a boundary.

20.1
Tabraiz Shamsi to William Porterfield, FOUR! Welcome to Malahide! A juicy full toss on off, Porterfield smashes it over mid-wicket for a boundary. He has worked hard in this innings and won't waste these gifts.

18.3
Andile Phehlukwayo to William Porterfield, FOUR! This one is drilled through the line. Andile serves a half-volley outside off at 121 kph, Porterfield powers it down the ground towards mid off where Rabada dives to his right, gets some part of his hand on it but it's not enough to stop the racing ball.

16.1
Andile Phehlukwayo to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! Another beautiful shot from the bat of the Irish skipper. A cover drive in the last over of Andile and now he has unveiled a lovely on drive to a full ball on middle. Rabada tries his best to cut it off from mid on but it beats him to the fence.

14.2
Andile Phehlukwayo to Andy Balbirnie, FOUR! That's a delightful shot! Andy pitches it up and outside off, Balbirnie gets forward and drives it crisply through extra cover for a boundary. 50 up for Ireland.

13.2
Keshav Maharaj to William Porterfield, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Floated ball, landing full around off, William Porterfield brings out the reverse sweep and executes it well behind backward point for a boundary.

12.6
Andile Phehlukwayo to Paul Stirling, OUT! Caught at covers! The struggle for Paul Stirling is over. Phehlukwayo played on his patience with the slower ones and this time shortens his length slightly. Stirling thinks it's short enough to pull but he doesn't account for the slowness of the delivery. This one is bowled at 117.3 kph. Stirling is a bit early into the pull shot and gets a top edge towards covers. David Miller is underneath it and he is not going to drop those. First blow to Ireland and it's a big one too.

10.6
Andile Phehlukwayo to William Porterfield, FOUR! 12 from the over and Ireland's run rate takes a jump. Short in length and wide outside off, Porterfield rocks back and slaps it through backward point for a boundary.

7.5
Lungi Ngidi to Paul Stirling, FOUR! Uppish but away from the fielder inside the ring. Short in length and angling in, Stirling hangs back to pull and does so aerially over Miller at mid-wicket for a boundary. The replays show that David probably jumped a bit early.

4.6
Kagiso Rabada to William Porterfield, FOUR! Put away off the pads. KG tries to surprise the batsman with a fuller length delivery, it's pacy and around middle, William Porterfield is up to the challenge though and flicks it behind square leg for a boundary.

2.4
Kagiso Rabada to William Porterfield, EDGED AND FOUR! First boundary of the morning. Rabada delivers it on a good length around off, shaping away a bit, Porterfield is squared up a bit in defense and edges it wide of Markram at second slip for a boundary. South Africa should look to get the third slip here.
