Max Sorensen	13	4	35	1	2.69	62	4	0	0	0
2.2 to HJW Gardiner, and it's the first wicket tries to defend coming forward but he plays the wrong line and his off stump is hit. 4/1
Craig Young	13.1	3	53	4	4.02	59	8	0	0	0
5.6 to FRJ Coleman, and it's Craig Young's first wicket for Ireland, widish delivery which is slashed out but it's in the air to point who takes a good catch. 16/2 9.6 to RD Berrington, and another one goes, wonderful delivery right on the top of off stump and it's too good for the batsman. 32/3 11.2 to PL Mommsen, dream debut for Young here, full delivery which smashes the middle stump and he has three. 33/4 50.1 to SM Sharif, tries to defend on the front foot but only finds an edge and it's an easy take for the keeper. 138/10
Graeme McCarter	12	7	13	3	1.08	67	2	0	0	0
23.6 to RM Haq, pushes at that one outside off and the edge is found, O'Brien takes a good low catch at second slip. 64/6 45.5 to MM Iqbal, goes back in his crease to a full length straight ball and he's bowled, a great partnership ends. 124/8 47.1 to I Wardlaw, and McCarter gets another thin outside edge is found and the keeper collects, Umpire Smith takes an age to give the decision.. 126/9
Kevin O'Brien	12	4	29	2	2.41	61	4	0	0	0
20.1 to CS MacLeod, O'Brien gets in on the act, flashes at a delivery and the outside edge is found and White at second slip takes the catch. 51/5 26.6 to CD Wallace, Wallace plays no shot to that one and the off stump is hit, not sure what he misjudged there but it didn't look too clever. 68/7

2.3 to HJW Gardiner, and the first one goes down, pushed at one outside off and the edge flies low to first slip who takes a nice catch. 6/1 2.5 to FRJ Coleman, and the second one in the over, keeps a bit low and he can't get the bat to it in time, big appeal and Umpire Smith raises the finger. 7/2 8.3 to PL Mommsen, bit straighter that time, full delivery crashes into the off stump, Mommsen didn't get close. 21/3 10.4 to CS MacLeod, brilliant spell by Sorensen continues another lbw success, the batsman came down the pitch a fair bit but the umpire was obviously sure enough to raise the finger. 27/4 60.1 to RM Haq, big heave outside off and another edge is found and O'Brien takes another smart catch in the slips. 168/10
