Ireland vs Pakistan, 3rd T20I at Dublin, IRE vs PAK, May 14 2024 - Match Result

Jockeys across off for a slog sweep, gets a top edge that flies away to deep square, two fielders converging, I think it's Tector who pouches it, throws the ball back in the air with the momentum taking him over the rope. He has made contact with the rope with the ball still in his hand so that'll be the winning runs. Pakistan winning this at a canter!

Short of a length delivery outside off, he walks across his stumps and jauntily biffs it over deep midwicket for half-a-dozen runs. Azam Khan making a mark again with his power-hitting, that's what he is renowned for. Good time for him to locate his mojo, very handful down the order

Went too wide, plan is good, Azam not quite quick with his footwork so perhaps a wide yorker is a good option against him especially if you have pace

Round the wicket, hurls down an effort full ball sliding across off, played down the wrong line, Adair continues to impress

Flips it on a shortish length and follows him as he steps away to the on side, cloths it away to midwicket and the fielder fumbles a little

Gottim! On a length and it jags back at middle, Iftikhar pounds it downtown and holes out to long-on. Wanted to finish the game in style but he got more elevation than distance on this occasion, he has been finding fielders at long-on and long-off quite often in the last few games, didn't find the middle on this occasion, Adair continues to have a splendid outing

Back of a length outside off, runs it down to short third. Slowish rising ball on fifth stump

Puts on his dancing shoes and clobbers it away from fielder at cow corner for a four. Committed to the shot and adjusted well, he is all about that power, even a mishit has high chances of clearing the rope, just 12 away from a resounding win

Slightly short and floating outside off, slaps a cut shot to deep point

Slow and dug in short at middle, stands tall and gets off the mark with an exclamation mark, slugged behind square leg for a four

Thumped hard into the surface and gets some purchase on a fifth stump line, tries to boom it downtown and holes out to long-on, too little, too late but Babar would be gutted to miss out on an opportunity to stay till the end and finish the game, nevertheless, it's been a remarkable innings from Pakistan captain, started slowly but once he got set, he fired on all cylinders and showed his range

That's much better. Fraction short and it nips away outside off, Babar with a massive yahoo across the line

Tad short and going away from off, not inside the marker and he'll have to reload, tough day at the office for Ireland bowlwrs

Over the wicket, touch short and slanting in at his body, he tries to hoick it out of sight and it has went miles in the air, fielder at deep fine drops it, Hume drops his third in this and last game combined, should have been taken, got his hands to it and it burst out as he fell to the ground

On a length at a teasing off-stump line, watchfully driven to long-on and he canters across to the other end

Ireland get the prized scalp! Rizwan went way too far across his stumps to tickle it fine and Adair bowls a magnificent yorker at middle in the blockhole and the bails come off. Cracking delivery

Shortish and outside off, stands tall and tonks it down to long-off, didn't time it well

Crowd chanting Babar, Babar. Touch short and angling across off, Babar leans across to go for a biff over square leg, can't connect properly

Short and going with the angle away from the marker on off, Adair looks crestfallen, it's been that kind of a day for Ireland

That's smart. Bowls a searing wide yorker and Babar Azam shuffled across his stumps so it won't be a wide, the wide line moves with the batter
