1.1
Mark Adair to Tadiwanashe Marumani, OUT! A smart return catch. Very tame dismissal for Marumani. Mark Adair bowls from 'round the wicket and angles in a fuller delivery on middle, Tadiwanashe Marumani tries to work it on the leg side but gets a tame leading edge back to the bowler. Adair collects the catch easily and draws first blood.

Barry McCarthy to Regis Chakabva, FOUR! First boundary of the chase. Fuller in length and on middle, Regis Chakabva whips it over mid-wicket and fetches a boundary.

3.1
Mark Adair to Regis Chakabva, FOUR! Regis Chakabva has plundered that ball. Short in length and close to off, sitting up nicely, Regis stays back and plays a rocketing pull shot over mid-wicket for a boundary.

3.2
Mark Adair to Regis Chakabva, OUT! Strangled down the leg side. Adair gets his revenge immediately. Not a wicket-taking delivery though. It's on a length and drifting down the leg side, Regis Chakabva tries to flick but gets a feather touch on it. Neil Rock collects and appeals, the bowler joins him too and the finger has gone up. Regis Chakabva shakes his head as he returns. A body blow to the visiting team.

Mark Adair to Dion Myers, FOUR! Edgy! Mark Adair delivers it on a length close to off, shaping away, Dion Myers pushes inside the line and edges it down to third man for a boundary.

3.4
Mark Adair to Dion Myers, OUT! BOWLED! Hit him for a boundary and he will take his revenge immediately. A wonderful inswinging yorker, around leg, Myers fails to keep it out and finds his stumps rearranged. Zimbabwe staring down the barrel, 150 needed off 98 balls.

4.4
Barry McCarthy to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Up and over point! Barry McCarthy angles across a length ball outside off, Ervine flashes his bat at it and slices it over Simi Singh inside the ring. He puts in a jump but it just evades him and finds the fence.
W
5.1
Craig Young to Wesley Madhevere, OUT! Wesley Madhevere is gone too. Young runs in and digs in a short ball around off, Wesley hangs back to pull but it takes the splice of his bat and flies to the right of mid on. Shane Getkate moves across to his right and completes the catch easily. All the wickets have fallen from this end so far.

Shane Getkate to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Straight as an arrow! Fuller and on off, Ervine unfurls a lovely drive down the ground. It races away to the fence in a flash.

8.5
Barry McCarthy to Milton Shumba, OUT! STUMPS ARE SHATTERED! Zimbabwe have now lost half their side. Excellent delivery from Barry McCarthy. He lands it on a good length around off and gets it to jag back in off the seam. Shumba plays all over it, leaves a big hole in his defense and the ball sneaks through to send the bails flying. It's one-way traffic at the moment.

12.1
Shane Getkate to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Fine shot! Fuller in length and on middle, Ervine swings his bat across the line and flicks it behind square leg for a boundary. First real shot of intent from the Zimbabwean skipper.

12.5
Shane Getkate to Donald Tiripano, OUT! Tiripano is stumped! Smart from Rock. Full in length and outside off, Donald Tiripano winds for a big heave across the line but fails to connect. Neil Rock collects the ball, waits for the batter to make some movement and as soon as Donald Tiripano drags his back leg out, he takes the bails off. He appeals and the square leg umpire has given it out.
W
13.4
Simi Singh to Craig Ervine, OUT! Ervine bites the dust and that's the last recognized batsman for Zimbabwe getting dismissed. Simi Singh tosses it up and lands it full around middle, Craig Ervine shimmies down the track for a big shot down the ground but fails to get enough behind it. The ball goes aerially to long on and Mark Adair takes it safely. Only formalities left in this match now.
W
14.4
Shane Getkate to Wellington Masakadza, OUT! Given lbw, Getkate has two now. That looked very adjacent to the naked eye. Full in length, around middle and leg, Wellington Masakadza fails to work it around and is pinged on the pads. The appeal is made and the umpire has no hesitation in lifting his finger. Dead plumb. Ireland are two wickets away from sealing the series.

15.5
Mark Adair to Luke Jongwe, FOUR! Slapped away! Slower one, short and wide outside off, Luke Jongwe picks it early, stays on the back foot and whacks it to the deep point fence.
W
17.2
Mark Adair to Blessing Muzarabani, OUR! The off stump is pegged back. Mark Adair has a 4-wicket haul. He spears it in, full and straight, Blessing Muzarabani is late in taking his bat down and the off stump is obliterated. Can Mark Adair pick the final wicket to complete his 5-fer?

17.4
Mark Adair to Luke Jongwe, FOUR! Good shot from Jonge, late runs are irrelevant but he is showing his skills. Short in length and around off, Luke Jongwe stays on the back foot and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. George Dockrell moves across to his right but fails to stop it with a dive.
