Harry Tector to Craig Ervine, OUT! CAUGHT! Harry Tector does get his man and the Zimbabwean skipper departs early. Just holds it back a touch and bowls it on middle and leg. Craig Ervine takes the aerial route and lofts it high over mid on. Barry McCarthy over there runs back and keeps his eyes on the ball before taking a good catch. Just the start Ireland needed.

Mark Adair to Tadiwanashe Marumani, FOUR! Classy shot first up from Tadiwanashe Marumani. This is on a good length around middle, Marumani punches it straight back with brilliant timing and the ball races away into the long off fence.

Mark Adair to Tadiwanashe Marumani, OUT! LBW! Zimbabwe have now lost both openers inside the first two overs. On a good length around leg stump and just shaping back in a touch. Tadiwanashe Marumani gets caught on the crease and as he looks to hop and tuck, he misses. The ball hits him high on the pads and there is a aloud appeal. It is given and the replays show that it is pitching in line. Mark Adair is all pumped up.

2.1
Harry Tector to Wesley Madhevere, FOUR! Putting the pressure back on the bowling side. This is fuller and angles across the off stump. Wesley Madhevere dances down the track and drives it through extra cover for a boundary.

Gareth Delany to Gary Ballance, FOUR! Lucky boundary! Flatter one outside off, Gary Ballance looks to cut off the back foot but gets an under edge through the keeper's leg and the ball runs away into the fence.

Barry McCarthy to Gary Ballance, SIX! Easily done! On the hips and Gary Ballance just flicks it aerially and all the way over the fine leg fence for a maximum.

7.5
Harry Tector to Wesley Madhevere, OUT! TIMBER! Wesley Madhevere never looked settled out in the middle and Harry Tector cleans him up. Tector knows Madhevere is itching to step out and cleverly tosses it up on a shorter length and around off stump. Madhevere does step out and moves past the leg stump as well as he looks for the slog. The ball beats him in the flight and spins in to castle into the stumps. Tector is delighted and Ireland do have their third.

Mark Adair to Gary Ballance, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This one lands slightly shorter and outside off, Gary Ballance rocks back and looks to cut it but misses it completely, and gets a nick on it as it carries behind the sticks. Stephen Doheny pouches it comfortably and Zimbabwe are four down now!

Barry McCarthy to Ryan Burl, OUT! TAKEN! Fuller and on middle, Ryan Burl looks to heave it but gets the toe end of his bat, it carries towards short mid-wicket and George Dockrell takes a fine catch around his face. Half of the Zimbabwe side is back into the hut now and Zimbabwe now need 25 runs in 28 balls.
