S Thompson to Sarfraz, out Caught by Stirling!! Oh dear! Pakistan are in real trouble now. Ireland are playing like an experienced Test side, they are bowling in the right areas and getting the rewards. This is a shocker of a shot from the skipper. It was a good length delivery outside off, Sarfraz wanted to run it down, he played it away from the body and gets an outside edge, Stirling at second slip takes a fine catch.
