NZ-U19 vs IRE-U19 Live Cricket Score

7 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Oscar Jackson gets his man! What a comeback delivery! This one is fuller, just outside off, but nipping in vigorously. Jordan Neill lunges to block it towards the off side hanging his bat away from his body. The ball swings in, catches the inside edge, and rattles the top of the off stump. Jordan Neill was looking set but has to depart now! 43/1

9.2 OUT! TAKEN! Matt Rowe joins the party now! It is a lot like the previous delivery. Good-length delivery on the fifth stump, but swinging it away from the batter. Ryan Hunter tries to push it according to the line of the delivery but ends up getting nicked on the outer edge. The ball flies just to the right of the keeper and Alex Thompson takes a comfortable catch. Rowe deserved this wicket and Ireland Under-19 loses both their openers now. 52/2

49.2 OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Matt Rowe gets his second wicket now! He pitches this one up, on middle, Gavin Roulston clears his front leg and tries to target the longer boundary, but he heaves it off the bottom of the bat as the ball flies flat towards deep mid-wicket, Luke Watson comes forward and pouches it safely, Roulston goes back after a fantastic knock here. Ireland Under-19 nine down now! 259/9

35.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What an exceptional return catch! Once again a break in play helps the fielding side as the Kiwis finally get the much-needed breakthrough. The change of pace does the trick here. Robbie Foulkes takes pace off and bowls this on middle, loops up too, Kian Hilton gets a bit decieved by it and drills it hard and uppishly down the pitch, Robbie Foulkes shows sharp reflexes and grabs it with both hands on his follow-through. Hilton stands there in disbelief but he will have to walk back now after a great knock. New Zealand Under-19 needed something special and they have got that. 181/3

38.2 OUT! TAKEN! Ewald Schreuder strikes! A soft dismissal for the Irish skipper! This is banged into the pitch again, on middle, Philippus le Roux goes for the pull but gets hurried and spoons it off the upper half of the bat towards mid-wicket, Lachlan Stackpole takes a comfortable catch. Philippus le Roux goes after a breezy start as Ireland Under-19 are three down now. Also, Scott MacBeth is the next batter in. 195/4

40.1 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Ewald Schreuder gets the job done! This one is on a good length pitching just outside off, and nipping in sharply. Scott MacBeth backs away and attempts to heave it with the pace of the ball towards the off side, but gets nicked on the inner edge and the ball thumps the leg stump out of the ground. Ewald Schreuder gets two in two overs now and the Kiwis are pulling things back here. 202/5
