Scotland win by two wickets with one ball remaining, it was a whole combination of the middle order anchored around Peter Ross who finished with 60*, Bailwal started the charge and then McElnea did the damage with two huge sixes in the power play over! The Irish look gutted as they would have fancied defending their total and their undefeated record in the competition. Dockrell always the pick of the bowlers with 3-29 but the fielding was great by neither teams, Scotland dropping two easy catches. And we can't forget Jason van der Merwe from the first innings for his innings of 96.

The Man of the Match is Peter Ross of Scotland for his 60*.

Today's results leave the road to World Cup Qualification Australia 2012 wide open, do please join us for the next road of matches tomorrow. Thanks for joining me Callum Stewart for what was a thrilling game. Man of the Match award to follow.
