Swept very fine to give Ireland a hard-fought win

scores are level

Driven to long off, they take a very risky second but Drummond can't gather the return

driven into the covers on the front foot, excellent stop to keep them to one

excellent shot by White, scooping the ball very fine to the fine leg boundary for four, it was on leg-stump but vry delicately played

yorker length and driven into the off-side, they pick up a single

too high and pulled away through midwicket fby O'Brien, good work on the boundary keeps them to one run

OUT, gone! That is a big wicket and Scotland may just be back in this. Botha came down the wicket but Maiden saw him coming but bowled a flatter ball which hit off stump. Big celebrations from Scotland

another reverse-sweep brings a run

leading edge from Johnston as he tries to whip the ball throug the leg-side, it goes high in the air and falls safe, just over the head of the fielder at cover

reverse- sweep which went very fine for a single, it may hev just been a chance of a catch for Smith

gone! That is a big wicket and Scotland may just be back in this. Botha came down the wicket but Maiden saw him coming but bowled a flatter ball which hit off stump. Big celebrations from Scotland

another forcing shot off the back foot brings a single to long-off

short ball, driven out to long-off on the back foot

yorker from Nel, pushed back down the pitch by Botha to Nel who can't gather in his follow through and they get a single
