Full commentary

Well that concludes our coverage of this game, Ireland will be delighted to get off the mark with their first win against a county on home soil for four years.

The plaudits must go to Porterfield who guided the run chase, while all the Ireland bowlers excelle in the field. Do join us throughout the summer for more coverage of Irish cricket. From me, Chris Busby, it's goodbye for now.
