A quite extraordinary match ends in a tie and it's Kevin O'Brien and Paul Stirling who come out with the credit for the Irish with two brilliant innings.
The man who hit the match tying boundary Kevin O'Brien is named man of the match.
Well we will have coverage of the second ODI on Sunday which is now a winner takes all clash.
So join me Conor Hayes for that but from a cold and overcast Clontarf it's goodbye.
