Takes pace and bowls it on a back of a length, outside off, Sikandar Raza waits for it and slaps it towards extra cover.

Brian Bennett makes room and looks to clear the man at mid off but Harry Tector stationed there back peddles and times his jump to perfection, plucking it out of thing air. Can this be a game-changer for Ireland? Zimbabwe lose half their side now as Bennett departs. 97/5

17.2 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Joshua Little gets his second wicket and Ireland sense a slight opening! Bowls it on a length, on the off-stump line from over the wicket, Clive Madande clears his front leg and winds up to go down the ground. The ball keeps a tad low and skids onto the bat.

Barry McCarthy angles it across, on a short of a length, outside off, Richard Ngarava tries to flay this one away with the angle but gets a thickish outside edge that looks to be heading over short third man. Mark Adair is quick to start running sideways and keeps his eyes all the way through. He pouches it with both hands and ensures that the ball does not pop out when his elbow hits the ground. Zimbabwe need 2 from the last ball now! 146/9
