PAK vs IRE Live Cricket Score

0.3 OUT! TIMBER! Shaheen Afridi with a wicket in the first over and Andy Balbirnie departs for a duck. Shaheen bowls this one on a good length around off and middle stump, Balbirnie looks to drive it through covers but it isn't full and the ball just slides back on after pitching. Balbirnie is beaten through the gate and the ball smashes into the stumps. Shaheen is delighted and rightfully so. 0/1

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Catastrophic start from Ireland but a more than perfect start for Pakistan here. Mohammad Amir comes in from over the stumps and just shortens the length a bit, bowling it with the wobble seam and angling it away from middle and leg. Paul Stirling shuffles to the leg side and comes down to open up the off side but only manages to get an outside edge which is gobble up by Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps. 4/3

0.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A double whammy for Shaheen Afridi inside the first over and Ireland are 2 for 2 with only five balls played. Shaheen pitches this one right up on the off stump line and gets the ball to go on with the angle rather shape back in. Lorcan Tucker looks to drive on the up but gets a thick outside edge that goes straight into the gloves of Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps. 2/2

3 OUT! LBW! Finally, Shaheen Afridi does get one decision his way and Pakistan now have their fourth wicket. Very full again and on middle and leg stump, swinging back in a fair bit. Harry Tector looks to get across the stumps and flick it away but misses and gets hit on the boot of the back leg. Shaheen pleads for the LBW and the finger goes up. No review taken by Tector and he walks back after a brief discussion with the non-striker. Oh, dear! The replays show that the ball was pitching outside leg stump. 15/4

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Curtis Campher has thrown his wicket away but that is good, persistent bowling from Haris Rauf and he gets a wicket in his first over. Rauf bangs this one in quick and on a hard length outside the line of off stump. It isn't all that short and Campher tries to fetch and pull the ball away. The ball gets sliced up high in the air off the outer half of the bat and towards square leg. Saim Ayub settles under it and takes a good catch. 32/6

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Mohammad Amir now picks up his second wicket and the decision to give both frontline pacers an extra over has worked out well for Pakistan. Excellent change-up from Amir as he brings out the slower delivery, the leg cutter and bowls it a bit into the pitch around middle and leg. The ball stops on George Dockrell and he ends up just jabbing at the ball. The ball takes the shoulder of the bat and lobs to the right of the bowler who takes a simple catch. 28/5

11.3 OUT! DANGEROUS DELANY DEPARTS! Drifting in and turning away from the batter, Gareth Delany looks to nudge this on the leg side but closes the bat face early, gets an outside edge towards Shadab Khan at backward point for a soft dismissal. 76/7

13.3 OUT! A COLLISION BUT Shaheen Afridi HOLDS ON! Tossed up in middle, turning away from the batter. Mark Adair goes for the slog but the bat slices in his hands at the time of connection with the ball. The ball gets more elevation than distance and lands in the safe hands of Shaheen Afridi at the long on fence. Usman Khan and Shaheen Afridi both had their eyes on the ball and they did not call for it. Ends up colliding with each other but Shaheen Afridi gathers it safely. 79/8

14 OUT! BINGO! The ploy to take on Imad is not working for Ireland. Tossed up on leg, Barry McCarthy moves further to his leg and looks to loft this over mid off but misses completely and the ball goes on to dislodge the bails. 80/9

5.5 OUT! SPLENDID TAKE TO REMOVE RIZWAN! On a length around the pads, Mohammad Rizwan flicks this and connects well but gets unlucky to find the tallest fielder in the outfield stationed at the fence towards deep square leg. Mark Adair times his jump to perfection and pouches a brilliant catch keeping his balance well to not touch the boundary skirting. 39/2

4.1 OUT! A good catch by Lorcan Tucker sees the end of Saim Ayub. On a length around off, Saim Ayub looks to drag this over towards the on side, gets an outside edge hanging high over the keeper to his right. Lorcan Tucker does well to judge this well and pouch this backpaddling. 23/1

8.1 OUT! Another brilliant catch and Fakhar Zaman has to walk back. Pitched up outside off, Fakhar Zaman looks to loft this over mid off but Ross Adair moves well to his right and takes a good catch timing his jump to perfection. 52/3

9.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Good length around off, holds into the surface a bit. Usman Khan throws his hands at it and gets an outside edge lobs into the hands of Harry Tector at backward point. Tense moments for Pakistan. 57/4

9.3 OUT! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! Half-volley around the pads, Shadab Khan looks to flick and loses his body shape as he falls over this but gets a faint edge to it back to the keeper to his left. Lorcan Tucker does well to dive low to his left and pouch this. A sensational phase of play for Ireland. 57/5

11 OUT! CAUGHT! Harry Tector with a stellar catch and Imad Wasim cannot believe it. Short and wide from Curtis Campher, there to be put away. Imad stands tall and looks to slap the ball away but hits it flat and straight towards backward point where Tector takes a sharp catch with both hands just to his right and Pakistan are in deep trouble now. 62/6

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Spin has done the trick here and Ben White picks up a huge wicket. This is flighted up but on a dragged length on middle stump. Abbas Afridi skips down the track but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball and forces the lofted shot very high towards long on. There's not enough power on it and the substitute fielder, Ross Adair settles under it to take a fine catch under pressure. Still, 12 needed and Pakistan have three wickets in hand. Also, Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat now. 95/7
