- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 and Porterfield is bowled first ball! How about that for a loosener ... It was a devilish delivery to get first up, Lee bang on line and up around 90mph, the ball seaming back and thudding into the top of off stump 0/19.4 superb catch at slip and Stirling perishes! Cummins put it on a good length outside off, drawing a thick edge as Stirling tried to check his drive, and Clarke flew to his right from first slip - like the canary he's dressed as - to grasp the ball one-handed 35/30.3 no doubt about this one, off stump out of the ground again! Lee is marauding through Ireland's left-handers, seaming the ball back in at express pace and after three balls the scorecard shows two blobs 0/2Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL36/3 (10.4 Overs, RR: 3.37)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (William Porterfield, 0.1 ov), 2-0 (Ed Joyce, 0.3 ov), 3-35 (Paul Stirling, 9.4 ov)
