11 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The decision of getting Josh Little back into the attack has done wonders for Ireland here. It is a quicker short ball, on the bodyline. Mohammad Nabi gets inside the line and looks to pull it away. It lobs off his gloves in front of the keeper. Lorcan Tucker realises that it won't carry and charges towards the ball. He dives forward with his right-hand stretched out and the ball sticks in his gloves. This is a brilliant catch from Lorcan Tucker. Ireland have their noses in front here. 66/5
