So Afghanistan win today's game by 79 runs. Who would have thought that would have been the case when they were struglling on 109 for 6?
With only 2 batsmen who managed to get into the thirties, Ireland were never really in the chase. The two run outs at the top didn't help, yet whilst the Afghan's tail wagged, Ireland's didnt.
Rashid Arman was the pick of the Afghan's bowlers again, finishing off with 4 wickets.
Once again the inexperience of the Ireland lower order showed. Once O'Brien and Stirling was out it was a steady stream of Irish batsmen heading to the wicket and coming back again.
Its a shame that the game might be overshadowed by the fall of Joyce's wicket. I'm sure that we will be hearing more about it over the next couple of days.
So Afghanistan take a 2-1 lead in the series with only one game remaining, being played on Tuesday here in Stormont.
Will Afganistan put in another dominate performance, or will Ireland fight back again and level the series. It will not be dull I can promise you that.
So please join me on Tuesday to find out.
Until then, thanks for following my commentary today. This is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Stormont.

Rashid Khan to Wilson, OUT
Wilson goes down the pitch and misses the ball. Shahzad takes off the bails and then does a little dance behind the stumps. Wilson just stands there and stares at him. That's not going to help the tension here.
