Afghanistan didn't see it coming. They opted to bat first but wouldn't have imagined this kind of score. Only Ibrahim Zadran stood up for them, no one supported him! Afghanistan though lost him right after the Lunch break and if not for Janat's 41, they would have ended around 100. Still, not the start they would have liked to the game and now they have to bowl really well to keep Ireland under pressure. They have to be as consistent as Ireland were! Tea is taken as well. Join us back for the final session in a while.

An outstanding performance by the Irish team and they will be so happy right now. 10 wickets inside one and a half sessions and it was Mark Adair who made Afghanistan dance to his tunes. He was right on the money from the start. Bowled good lengths and lines and took two wickets in an over. Barry McCarthy and Craig Young supported him well too. Ireland after the lunch struck rightaway, removing Zadran and Rehman in quick succession. Curtis Campher followed it with two wickets in a row. However, Mark Adair was the pick with five wickets!
