0.2 to T Marumani, Marumani is gone first ball! It's full on middle, with the ball shaping into the left-hander. Not a lot of swing, but enough to beat Marumani's attempted flick. That struck him plumb in front of middle and the umpire has his finger up immediately. Ireland draw early blood, continuing to boss proceedings in the powerplay this series. 1/1
2.6 to W Madhevere, Adair has his second as he bounces out Madhevere! Adair goes short again, takes the pace off again, and Madhevere is early into the shot and ends up spooning the ball up to midwicket's right. Balbirnie has to move to his right and put in a short dive to hold on to that, and he does. Ireland's catching was impeccable when not spectacular in the last game and Balbirnie continues that trend. The ball hit the splice of the bat and ballooned up. 18/2

8.3 to BJ Bennett, Bennett's gone first ball! It's a short ball that does the trick again as Bennett is all at sea trying to pull at that. He was cramped for room and ends up gloving it onto his helmet before the ball goes up for cover to gobble up moving to his left. Bennett's not had an easy introduction to international cricket, with two low scores in his first two games. 78/5
201316.5060100
7.6 to TS Kamunhukamwe, Timber! Kamunhukamwe could have been out first ball of this over, but Delany gets his man with the last. It's full and drifts to pitch on middle. Kamunhukamwe goes for a big slog sweep but plays all around it and Ireland get another breakthrough. 77/4
402817.0091100
6.6 to SC Williams, Oh no, Williams what have you done?! The captain has skied a catch to Balbirnie at backward point, who would not have taken too many easier grabs in his life. Campher goes for a slower bouncer and Williams wants to swat it away. The lack of pace does him in, though. Good comeback from Campher after conceding 12 runs off the first three balls! Two dots and a wicket. 65/3

2.6 to PR Stirling, Ngarava gets Stirling again! Goes for a slower ball, full and outside off. Stirling, with Ireland needing to up the tempo, reaches out for it and tries to swing it through the leg side but only manages to drag it onto the stumps!. 18/1
16.1 to HT Tector, And Ngarava has knocked Tector over! This could be a huuuge moment in the game! It's full outside leg, Tector tries to work it leg side but it slips through bat and pad and knocks leg stump over! Ngarava is rightly pumped!. 129/5
402315.75111100
3.4 to A Balbirnie, Muzarabani induces the edge! Balbirnie tries to make room and Muzarabani follows him with a length ball. Balbirnie goes through with his shot, but it was not wide enough. He gets a bottom edge and Madande claims a sharp take. 20/2

7.3 to LJ Tucker, Oh no, Tucker has gifted his wicket here! Trevor Gwandu has his first international wicket! Gwandu goes full down leg and Tucker looks to clip it away but it's hit straight to short fine for a simple catch. Ireland lose another wicket. 54/3

19.1 to MR Adair, Taken at long-on! This match is not over yet! It's full and Adair swings for the hills. It goes high in the air and seems to hang there for an eternity. Brian Bennett, just a yard or two inside the rope, grabs it reverse-cupped above head height and does well to not lose balance. And we are set for more late drama!. 159/6

14.4 to C Campher, Campher holes-out to long-on! Bennett has so far failed to impress with the bat, but he could have provided them a crucial breakthrough here! This is tossed up just outside off, Campher goes for the big slog but miscues it and it goes high in the air. Luke Jongwe settles underneath it and takes it without any trouble. Campher falls for a well made 37 off 24. 120/4
