4.3 OUT! BOWLED' EM! A corker of a delivery to dismiss the Irish skipper. Arfan continues to impress in this series. He gets a huge inswing from outside off, on a fractionally fuller length. Paul Stirling looks to loft it downtown with an angled bat, but it sneaks through the gap between the bat and pad and crashes into the stumps behind. Paul Stirling falls for 14 (11) and Ireland are 40/2. 40/2

1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Junaid draws first blood and is ecstatic. Two fours and out for Adair. He bangs one short into the pitch, angling on the leg stump, at the shoulder height of the batter. Adair gets a bit inside the line and tries to pull it behind square on the leg side, but the ball gets big on him and it grazes the gloves on its way to the keeper. A simple catch for Aryansh Sharma. Ross Adair departs for 10 (4) and Ireland are 11/1. 11/1

5.3 OUT! TAKEN! A soft dismissal and UAE continue to apply pressure on the Irishmen. A bit quicker than the previous delivery, drifting in and around middle. Harry Tector gets on the front foot, just checks his drive but the ball turns away and he ends up chipping it flat towards short cover. The ball dips on Muhammad Waseem but he dives forward and takes a fine low catch. Harry Tector departs for 20 (17) and from 40/1, Ireland have slid down to 46/3. 46/3

8.5 OUT! MISTIMED IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Just when the partnership was budding nicely along between these two, Jawadullah puts a halt to it. Short and wide outside off, tempting Tucker into a cut. He mistimes it, slicing it off the blade, and skies it straight down the throat of Kaushik at deep point, who takes a straightforward catch. Lorcan Tucker departs on 12 (11) and Ireland are 74/4. 74/4

11.2 OUT! TIMBER! Muhammad Arfan breaks another blossoming partnership of 20 runs, and gets his second wicket. On a length, on off, and it shapes in. Ben Calitz stays back and looks to block it but gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball rattles over the stumps. A timely wicket for United Arab Emirates as Ben Calitz perishes on 14 (8). Ireland are 94/5. 94/5

12.2 OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number 2 for Haider Ali. And a brilliant catch from Mayank Kumar. Flatter, on off, with a hint of turn. Gareth Delany looks to drive it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. It lobs in the air towards short cover. Mayank Kumar dives to his left and takes a sharp, low catch. It is all going south for the tourists now. Gareth Delany falls 2 off 3 and Ireland are 99/6. 99/6

13.4 OUT! TIMBER! What a delivery from Junaid Siddique. On a length, on off, shaping in. George Dockrell stays in his crease and looks to block it but misses as he plays the wrong line. The ball crashes into the stumps behind, making an absolute mess of the furniture. The seventh wicket falls for Ireland and they are in a spot of bother now. The tourists are 101/7. Mark Adair is the new batter in at number 9. 101/7

13.1 OUT! STUMPED! George Dockrell gets the big fish, and this is a massive wicket in the context of this game. This is the arm ball, full and on leg, goes in with the arm. Aryansh Sharma does not read it and comes down the track to slog it down the ground. He misses it completely, and Lorcan Tucker does the rest to get his second stumping of the game. Sharma goes back for a fluent 54 off 40, and the Irish are on top now. 93/5

3.5 OUT! LBW! Barry McCarthy gets a much-needed breakthrough for Ireland. On a length, on middle, Muhammad Waseem rocks back and looks to flick it but plays all around it, missing a straight ball and gets a hit on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Muhammad Waseem makes his way back into the shed. 32/1

8.3 OUT! TAKEN! Gareth Delany gets a wicket. Flatter, just outside off, Muhammad Zohaib dances down the track and looks to loft it but gets it off the toe end of his bat. The ball carries towards long off. Curtis Campher settles under it and completes the catch. 67/2

10.2 OUT! STUMPED! That is some excellent glovework behind the stumps. Matthew Humphreys tosses it up, full and on off, turns away a shy bit. Alishan Sharafu backs away and tries to go over covers, but misses and also loses his balance. He ends up dragging his back foot outside the crease, and Lorcan Tucker, the keeper, is quick to break the stumps. Sharafu departs for 5 off 7, and Ireland are three down now. 79/3

12.5 OUT! TAKEN! Gareth Delany gets his second wicket. He tosses it up, full and around off. Harshit Kaushik looks to go big down the ground, but fails to get underneath the ball. His bat also turns upon contact and he ends up slicing it in the air towards long off, where Curtis Campher settles under it and takes a good catch. Ireland are 93/4, still needing 78 runs in 43 balls. 93/4

15.3 OUT! STUMPED! George Dockrell strikes again. This is another arm ball, full and on leg, angling in. Mayank Kumar runs down the track blindly and plays all over it. It goes through, and Lorcan Tucker is sharp again behind the stumps to get his third stumping in this game. Ireland are staring down the barrel now. 104/6

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Mark Adair comes back into the attack and strikes right away. He bowls the back-of-the-hand slower one, lands this on a length and on off. Dhruv Parashar looks to work it across the line but closes the bat face early. The ball sticks to the surface, takes the leading edge and lobs to the left of the bowler, where Adair takes a simple catch. A soft dismissal for Parashar and he goes back for 7 off 9. 106/7

17.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Right through the defense. Barry McCarthy comes over the wicket, lands this on a hard length and on middle and leg, skids through a bit. Haider Ali backs away and tries to play at it but misses it completely as the ball goes through to rattle into the middle and leg stumps. Ireland just 2 wickets away from the win now. 111/8
