Brilliant effort from Faheem at mid-on, he had only one stump to aim and boy the throw was spot on. Joyce had to go around the bowler and that could have made a difference of a second. It was a good length ball at the stumps, Ed Joyce tucks it to mid-on and goes for a risky single, Faheem there collects the ball quickly and shatters the stumps at the bowler's end in a flash.

Pulls the bat inside the line and leaves the final delivery - which is outside off. Goes up to Porterfield and off they go to a chorus of encouragement, claps and pats from the entire Irish contingent. We have a fight on in this game. It is stumps in Malahide

Rahat Ali to Ed Joyce, no run, that has to be the most ridiculous appeal ever for a caught behind. Ever. The slip cordon heard something and went up in a big way, Sarfraz and Rahat Ali knew what had happened and didn't join in. A shortish delivery outside off which is left alone by Ed Joyce, who pulled his bat inside the line and left it. Miles away from the ball. A YouTube moment
