AUS vs IRE Live Cricket Score

2.1 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man! Warner cannot believe it! Warner falls into the trap here! Short in length and around leg. David Warner pulls with soft hands as he just tries to guide it down but hits it uppishly and Mark Adair at short fine leg takes it. Superb start from Ireland. The struggle continues for David Warner. 8/1

16.5 OUT! TAKEN! Aaron Finch has done his job! What an innings from the skipper! He should have hit this out through. A full toss, outside off. Finch steps across and heaves but not off the middle. Mark Adair doesn't move an inch at long on as he takes the catch. 154/4

8.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Timely wicket as this partnership had started to flourish. Excellent bowling change too and Barry McCarthy gets his second. Yet again, not the best of balls from him but he manages to break the stand. It is short and wide outside off, making Marsh hit to the longer side of the ground. This goes off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. 60/2

10.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Glenn Maxwell's poor form continues! Yet again a bowling change works wonders for Ireland. They got on Barry McCarthy earlier on, he got the wicket and now Josh Little gets the breakthrough. This is very full and very wide outside off. Maxwell goes after it, it flies off the outside edge and it is taken by the keeper. Ireland not letting the Aussies run away with the game. Fighting back everytime they are on the back foot. 84/3

18.4 OUT! TAKEN! On a length and outside off. Stoinis opens his front leg and tries to steer it past backward point but outside edges and George Dockrell there takes a sharp catch. Ireland are dragging it back nicely. Two good overs for them. Australia in need of that final flourish. 160/5

2.2 OUT! TAKEN! That move has turned out to be a master-stroke from Aaron Finch! We here were wondering an offie against two right-handers but Maxwell has provided the wicket and it is the big one. Both the openers fall now. This is short and on middle, Paul Stirling makes room. This was there to be hit but Paul slaps it straight towards mid off where it is taken by Cummins. You can't keep Pat Cummins out of the game. 18/2

2 OUT! TIMBER! Cummins strikes! He is delighted and he finishes the over just the way Australia would gave wanted. They need wickets and they have got one early here. This is a lovely inswinger. Starts from well outside off and it is fuller. Ends up on the off pole. Andy Balbirnie shuffles across and looks to flick it fine on the leg side but misses and the off pole is hit. The flying start is cut short then. 18/1

3 OUT! TAKEN! Two in the over for Maxwell and Ireland are now three down! Harry Tector can't believe he has picked the fielder out there. This is short and on the pads, asking to be hit. Harry Tector hits it straight to the sub Steven Smith at square leg and he makes no mistake. Ireland in deep trouble now. 24/3

3.2 OUT! TIMBER! Starc has just turned back the clock! He is at his best when he gets that little bit of shape into the batter. Strikes second ball and Curtis Campher falls for a golden duck! This is full, it starts on off and gets it to shape back in. Curtis Campher fails to keep it out as he tries to play it with the full face of the bat. The stumps are hit. You know this is coming but just can't do anything about it. Ireland are 4 down now. 25/4

4 OUT! TIMBER! Ireland are falling like a pack of cards here! Another one bites the dust and yet again it is an over which sees two wickets. Too good from Starc! He goes full and gets it to shape back in from outside off. George Dockrell fails to get his bat down in time and it hits the off pole. Half the side back in the hut and we are not even done with 30 legal balls in this game. 25/5

9.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The stand is broken! Australia needed this wicket! Marcus Stoinis strikes in his very first over. On a length and on top of middle. Gareth Delany looks to pull but the length was not that short, he gets a top edge and it flies to mid on. Glenn Maxwell runs across from mid-wicket, calls for it and takes the catch. Good take there and Ireland are 6 down now. 68/6

12.2 OUT! STUMPED! Zampa gets his first and Mark Adair falls! This is flatter, drags his length back as he sees Mark Adair step out. It is outside off too. Adair still swings, misses and Wade does the rest. 91/7

14.2 OUT! TIMBER! Fionn Hand walks back! Zampa has another one! This is very full, Fionn Hand walks across, exposing his stumps and looks to sweep. Picks the wrong ball as it is way too full and it hits the stumps. 103/8

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! McCarthy goes! Short ball on off. McCarthy pulls it flat and hard but straight in the hands of Steven Smith (sub) who gets low and takes the catch. Australia will look to take the last wicket quickly now. 136/9

18.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Tossed up on middle. Little reverse sweeps it to point and tries to give the strike to Tucker but is slow as he runs across. The throw from Marsh comes to the bowler's side and Maxwell clips the bails off. The replay shows Little is well short. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 42 RUNS. 137/10
