IRE vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

24 OUT! Caught! Stirling departs soon after getting to his 50. Mire bangs it in short. The man at mid-wicket is up. Stirling looks to go over the fielder there but he does not get the elevation. Paul ends up hitting it straight to Sean Williams there. He takes a simple catch and the 100-plus opening stand is broken. This wicket has come against the run of play here and Paul will be disappointed not to convert this 50 into a big hundred. 111/1

31.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal! Length delivery outside off, McCollum lofts it over covers but does not get the distance on it. It goes towards Sikandar Raza who takes a comfortable catch. Two wickets in quick succession for Zimbabwe. Third wicket for Solomon Mire. James McCollum could not convert his fifty into a big hundred. 147/3

30 OUT! Caught! Second wicket for Mire! He hits the deck hard outside off, Balbirnie looks to drive it on the up but the ball nips in. It takes the inside edge of his bat and goes straight to Taylor behind the stumps. The delay in play has brought a lapse in concentration here. 140/2

40.2 OUT! Caught! Sean Williams has taken an absolute stunner here. Raza bowls it slower through the air on off and middle, Porterfield goes for a big slog sweep. It looks like he will clear the man in the deep but Sean Williams at deep square leg, jumps full stretch and plucks it out of thin air. Ireland after a solid start are losing their way here. From 111/0 they now find themselves at 188/5. 188/5

McBrine looks to reverse sweep this flighted one but misses the line of the delivery and gets rapped on the pads, Raza and the Zimbabwean players appeal in unison and the umpire raises his dreaded finger.

16.3 OUT! Caught! Ervine has thrown it away here. He was looking set for a big one. Lapse in concentration gets better off him. Getkate bowls one full and outside off and Ervine goes for a booming drive but in the end can only edge it on to the keeper. End of a promising knock here. 70/4

4.3 OUT! LBW! Murtagh is on a roll here! Two in two for him and now he is on a hat-trick.

The Irish players put in a confident appeal and the umpire raises his fingers. Golden Duck for Brendon Taylor and Zimbabwein deep trouble here. 14/3

32.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Exceptional catch from Andy Balbirnie. Williams was looking set to take his team over the line but fails to stay there. He plays the pull on this shorter one but doesn't bother to keep it down and picks out the man at short mid-wicket to perfection. Andy Balbirnie does a superb job as the ball was traveling at a great pace and he dives to his right to hold on to the catch.This could be the final nail in the coffin for the tourists. Zimbabwe are falling really quick here. 157/6

25.1 OUT! Raza holes out! Sikander's cameo comes to an end. Full on off, Raza looks to heave it over the on side but it goes off the leading edge towards backward point. Kevin O'Brien comes in and takes a good catch, inches above the ground. A major blow this for Zimbabwe. They needed him to continue but Raza has departed at the wrong time. 127/5

Burl's fight comes to an end. He cannot take his side home but what a fight he showed. Take a bow! 236/9

It goes towards Lorcan Tucker who takes the simplest of catches. Zimbabwe batsman are falling like nine pins. Shane Getkate gets his second wicket. Another quick wicket for Ireland. 160/7

48.5 OUT! Bowled! What a sight for a fast bowler to see the stumps rattling. Murtagh bowls one on a length and on the stumps. Tiripano looks to deposit it outside the park but can only manage to miss it and connect with thin air. The ball hits the top of middle stump and the bails fly off. What a bowling performance from him to get to his maiden 5-wicket haul in ODIs. He has been sensational in this match. 229/8
