Zimbabwe vs Ireland, 3rd Match, First Round Group B at Sylhet, Mar 17 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary

they scramble through with a bye and Taylor fails to hit the target! Alex Cusack tries to force away a yorker outside off, he missed and so did Taylor with his under-arm throw to the striker's end, Thompson collided with a fielder as he completed the bye and by then Cusack was safe at the other end

it's a low full toss and he makes room and gets an outside edge to third man, good sliding stop restricts it to a single

and we have a run out in the middle of all this would you believe this! Sorensen digs out a yorker to mid-off and risks the single, the throw from Williams was accurate and Sorensen was miles short, he collided with the bowler but Panyanagara wasn't complaining

and a magnificent inswinging yorker from Panyangara makes things interesting again! Joyce made a bit of room and exposed his stumps, he failed to get his bat down to dig it out, the ball just kissed the leg stump and knocked down the leg bail

this was full and wide and he makes room and almost pierces the gap at mid-off, they take a single

pitched up on the pads and Joyce flicks this one over midwicket, fumble by Raza but only a single

that ends a decent over, this was skidded on the pads and the batsman wasn't quick enough on the shot, hits the pads and rolls away

another short slower ball, looked ungainly as Joyce pulled that to square leg

slower ball shorter outside off and he punches it wide of point, they scramble the single, the throe was wide

slower ball wide outside off, the off cutter and Thompson swings and misses

full on the stumps and driven down to cover

gets forward and punches it wide of cover

after the assault the bowler gets his wicket! Funny old over, this was pitched up and he stayed at the crease and lofted it down to long-off, the fielder was pushed back

the bowler was unlucky there! This was full and swinging in and O'Brien gives that a heave, gets an inside edge that beats the keeper and short fine leg

he gets forward and takes a single to mid-off

he goes airborne again, pitched up on the pads and chipped down to long-on, one bounce to the fielder

10 off 2! This was pitched up outside off and he stays at the crease and lofts him over mid-off, he knew the fielder was up, safe shot

beats deep midwicket! What a way to start the over, this was bowled short of a length, O'Brien stays at the crease and pulls in front of square, had the height and the distance was just enough to clear the rope

he gives him room and he smashes that wide of cover and Raza dives at deep cover, fumbles but recovers

well bowled, fired that flat and he could only punch it down the track
