    1.1 Massive LBW shout first up, but umpire Dharmasena says no. Adair goes full first up around leg stump and Munsey tries to play the on drive but misses. Ball hit him on the leg, and Ireland review after given not out. Question is: did it pitch outside leg stump? No it has pitched in line! Ball crashing into middle and leg - Adair with a first-ball strike to remove Scotland's anchor from their last match. 1/1
    18.5 that shot is somewhere between the helicopter and Rashid Khan's snake-hit, a whip of the wrists to a fullish ball around off stump. Unfortunately for Jones he doesn't get enough power into the shot and he's caught by the fielder on the long on boundary. End of an outstanding innings 170/4
    8.1 full ball just outside off. Cross makes a bit of room and then tries to hit it over cover but Campher has started off with the slower one, therefore the batter is through his shot too early. Mistimed as the ball goes high up and mid off moves to his left before taking a reverse-cup catch 60/2
    16.1 Campher returns and strikes right away! Another slower one - just like he began his first over - Berrington reaches out for the wide one outside off and lofts it towards deep cover where the fielder runs to his left to take the catch 137/3

    19.6 slower one outside off, and the batter misses the swipe across the line, they try to steal a bye but there's a run out at the striker's end with a direct hit from the keeper. Just six runs off the final over and Scotland finish with 176 176/5

    4.3 keeper is excited and Sharif follows with the caught-behind appeal. But not given. Cross is super keen for the review so Berrington obliges. This was a cutter, good length, wide outside off and he slashes hard at it to try and clatter it away. But misses, ball goes past the edge, and Cross believes there was an edge. First replay doesn't suggest any edge, but what does technology say? Ooooo, there's a slight spike on UltraEdge as the ball goes past the bat's toe. Conclusive enough for the TV umpire to overturn the decision. Big man is gone! That's a #ClutchAppeal and Stirling is out trying to play a loose shot. 29/2
    3.2 taken at point? Oh yesss! A low catch to point but Balbirnie hasn't really started to walk. Will the umpires want to go upstairs to see if the catch was clean? Doesn't look like, no. So he is walking off now. A good length ball outside off stump and Balbirnie made room before trying to guide it behind point. However it comes off the high-part of the bat and point dived forward to pocket that grab. 22/1
    8.4 the slowness does the trick! Watt delivers it very slow off the hand as a variation, and Tucker wasn't expecting that. Goes to the off side and tries to play the sweep, but he is through the shot a tad too early. Ball flies off the edge, pops up in the air, and short fine leg has a simply dolly to gobble up. ESPNcricinfo's win percentage moves to 80% for Scotland after that dismissal. 57/3
    9.3 Ireland are crumbling! Full on off stump. Tries to slog sweep, but one hand comes off the bat while executing it. That also means he wouldn't have generated his full power, and deep midwicket gets under it rather early to complete the dismissal. With that wicket, it is also time for drinks. 61/4
