0.3 : 0.3: R Eranga to K O'Brien, FOUR! You cannot give width. A length ball outside off, too wide, O'Brien just lofts it with ease over cover and gets the Irish their first boundary!
0.6 : 0.6: R Eranga to K O'Brien, OUT! In the air and taken this time! Just as we were about to say that Eranga has been a touch too loose in this over, he gets a prized scalp of Kevin O'Brien! Nothing special about this delivery but what a shot it looked like. A lovely poise, nice upright body and an elegant loft over cover. All good, till you see a human being coming in to take the catch at the extra cover boundary. The field was changed a ball before, with third man coming up and mid off coming up
1.2 : 1.2: D Heyliger to P Stirling, FOUR! Easy peasy. A length ball, around middle, Stirling turns it off his hips through square leg and the ball races away.
2.1 : 2.1: R Eranga to G Delany, SIX! Brilliant shot from Delany! He is continuing his form from the previous game. Fullish delivery outside off, Delany lunges forward and lofts this over the cover fielder for the first maximum of the innings. Now, Canada have pushed a fielder to deep cover.
2.4 : 2.4: R Eranga to P Stirling, FOUR! Streaky! Short ball outside off, Stirling cuts it off the back foot uppishly towards backward point and between the two fielders. The ball races to the fence. The fielder at short third man tried to stop it while diving but is unable to do so.

3.6 : 3.6: J Gordon to P Stirling, SIX! No edge on that one. Short ball on middle, Paul pulls it with disdain towards the deep square leg region for a maximum. The fielder at deep square leg for a while thought it was a chance but it was not to be.
4.1 : 4.1: Bin Zafar to G Delany, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Another poor piece of fielding from the Canadians. Flatter delivery on middle and leg, Gareth Delany pulls it towards short fine leg where the fielder lets it go between the legs and into the fence.
4.3 : 4.3: Bin Zafar to G Delany, OUT! RUN OUT! After couple of poor fielding attempts, Canada have pulled off a stunner.

He throws it to the keeper who removes the bails in a flash. Delany makes an attempt to make it back but fails to do so. The umpire gives it out immediately.
4.4 : 4.4: Bin Zafar to A Balbirnie, OUT! BOWLED! Back-to-back wickets for Canada here! Excellent stuff from Saad. Bowls a flatter delivery which kept a little low on middle, Balbirnie looks to cut it but misses it and it goes on to hit the middle stump. Ireland in a bit of bother here and in desperate need of a partnership.
4.5 : 4.5: Bin Zafar to H Tector, EDGED AND FOUR! Harry Tector is off the mark with a boundary. Good length ball outside off, Tector looks to drive it but it goes off the outside edge towards the third man region and into the fence. The Canadians have their noses in front now.
7.1 : 7.1: Bin Zafar to P Stirling, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent piece of keeping this from Hamza Tariq! Flatter delivery outside off, Stirling looks to cut it but gets a thick outside edge which the keeper holds on to it. Ireland in dire straits now as their talismanic batsman is going back to the hut.

11.3: N Dutta to H Tector, OUT! STUMPED! Brilliant piece of bowling from Dutta! Lures Tector to come down the track with a looped up ball outside. The ball spins and beats the drive of Harry. The ball goes into the hands of the keeper and Hamza does no mistake and does an easy stumping. Ireland are half the side down with still a long way to go.
12.1 : 12.1: J Gordon to G Wilson, OUT! BOWLED! Change of bowling works for Canada. Jeremy Gordon comes into the attack and bowls a peach of a delivery to get rid of the skipper , Gary Wilson. It is a good length delivery outside off, Wilson looks to cut but it beats the edge of the bat and goes on to hit the top of off stump. Canada are ruling this game now and Ireland have to play really well to make a match of it.
