    0.3 vicious inswinger, castled! Shaheen strikes with his third ball, a peach of a delivery coming back in to beat Balibirnie's on-the-up drive and hit the top of off stump. Loose from the batter, but a lovely sight for a left-arm quickie 0/1
    1.4 big appeal and Stirling walks! He charged down and just keeps going, as Amir runs off arms outspread. Tried to put some pressure back on the bowler, but Amir responded by dropping short. Stirling threw the bat anyway but could only manage a thin top edge through to Rizwan 4/3
    0.5 angling across, nicks him off! Two in the over for Shaheen, who turns and blows a kiss, arms outstretched. Pakistan have located their mojo this morning, never mind how dismal the campaign has been. Scrambled seam, pitched up and tempting the drive, brings an audible edge through to Rizwan 2/2
    2.6 pinned him again, bullseye! Up goes the finger, now Ireland are the ones contemplating the DRS. But Tector eventually decides it's not worth his while and walks off, leaving his side four down inside three overs. Curled back a long way and eventually hit him on the heel of his back boot. Probably clipping, at worst. Update: Ball-tracking shows this one pitched outside leg, too. Tector should have reviewed! 15/4
    6.3 banged in, and swiped straight up the chimney! Campher gets bat on ball but only manages to balloon tamely to the man circling under it at midwicket. Rauf strikes with his third ball, Ireland are swimming with the Florida gators 32/6
    5.4 slower ball, Dockrell is completely duped! Amir rolls his fingers over it, gets the ball to drop on the batter as he pushes out and spoons up a simple return catch. Down goes the head immediately, Ireland lose their fifth wicket inside the powerplay 28/5
    11.3 grip and bounce, popped up to point! Imad makes the breakthrough, just as this partnership was reaching ticklish territory. Delany stares at the pitch, the ball seemed to stop on him a touch as he looked to work across the line. Loopy outside edge and Shadab makes no mistake running in 76/7
    13.3 holes out to cow corner... where two fielders collide! Shaheen Afridi holds on even as Usman Khan clatters into him. This could have been nasty, and Usman has stayed down while Adair walks from the field. Ireland lose their eighth wicket, with more than six overs still to be bowled 79/8
    13.6 steps away, misses with a big swing! McCarthy exposes his stumps and Imad duly takes up the offer to hit them. Slower pace, definitely some turn as the ball straightens into leg stump. He hadn't taken a wicket at this World Cup before today - now he has three! 80/9

    5.5 caught brilliantly at fine leg as Rizwan lives by the sword and dies by it. Picks up this length ball on middle and off and whips it high. He thinks the connection is sweet enough to sail over, but Adair leaps high and takes an excellent catch with the ropes just behind him. 39/2
    4.1 way too adventurous for his own liking and Saim has to perish! Looks to heave this short of a length delivery across the line, but gets a big, fat top-edge. Tucker does well to circle underneath that as he covers some distance and keeps his eye on the ball and pouches it safely as it descends. 23/1

    8.1 drilled straight to mid-off! Fakhar wanted to go over the top, appeared as if he was trying to hit it straighter but the angle took the ball away from him and ended up slicing it a bit to the fielder. 52/3
    9.1 the extra bounce has done the trick! Usman is glaring at the surface and wonderinf how it kicked up the way it did. Jabs at the ball and it pops off the shoulder to point where Tector takes a dolly. Ireland have come storming back. 57/4
    9.3 tickled down leg! Excellent take. Not the kind of delivery you'd think would fetch a wicket. It's a leg-stump half-volley all told, a delicious little delivery to tuck into but what does Shadab do? Tickle it gently for the keeper to grab that. Are Ireland onto something here? 57/5
    10.6 he's slapped this straight to point! Imad can't believe what he has done. Short, had enough width and he went after it, but it's almost as if he forgot there was a fielder there. Superb from Tector, that was travelling. Pakistan are in real trouble now. 62/6
    17.4 heaved straight to long-on! Babar smashes his pads with the bat in frustration at the non-striker's end. Generously tossed up outside off, Abbas stepped out to clear the straight boundary but ended up dragging it to the fielder. Adair was ice cool at the ropes as he took it comfortably. 95/7
