00:00You
00:17And grava goes across PJ Moore safely into the gloves of
00:22Clive McGonaghy joller Gumby, I think has also kept working for some Bobby. He is currently in short leg
00:30a
00:32Wide half volley that's punched with some authority through the covers for the first boundary of the morning
00:41Short and cut cut very comfortably PJ Muricel does innings very well
00:47He's he's gained and in confidence his second boundary of the morning
00:50Short wide and four again. This is beautiful batting poor bowling from sitara. He'll be disappointed
00:57It's not like I'm another boundary in this over to PJ Muricel
01:06Wide full
01:08PJ Muricel shows that he's as confident on the front foot as he has been this morning on the back feet a beautiful shot
01:13through the covers
01:15Full
01:17Thick outside edge another boundary just in front of the commentary box a moral victory maybe for the bowler
01:23and he will be
01:25Delighted with that now Balbir and he gets in in the act to ride on top of the bounce not easy to do to
01:31Muzurabani for more
01:35That's driven ever so pleasingly
01:37Well, that's probably the shot of the morning and it sums up the morning Ireland are gonna bring their 50 up
01:42In the 11th over it's been a PJ more dominated morning looking to survive here
01:49Down the leg side. He's gonna get runs
01:52and
01:53In fact, it will be buys
01:55So the pitch all of a sudden from nowhere after a docile start to the morning is movement off the surface
02:01So take the single there
02:03He's lost his wrist again
02:05Looking for the wicket looking to go fuller. It's gonna be 4-0
02:09Looking for the wicket looking to go fuller. It's gonna be four more buys for all climate and a he's wondering what on earth is happening here
02:17But New York as well
02:20Driven away to well sum up the first session
02:24Balbir and he's gonna get four probably his best shots of the morning rivaling PJ Moore's drive and it's gonna get us to that first drinks break
02:33experienced at this level
02:36And that's gonna be the immediate wickets
02:40Just what Zimbabwe needed and finally that opening partnership is broken
02:45It is it's not the ideal delivery to do so
02:49But what a good catch
02:51Taken by joy Lord Gumby to his right
02:55Chewbacca probably just looking for a
02:58Full straight delivery and it's just angle down the leg side more than anything else
03:02Balbir he's actually hit it quite well
03:05That's what's encouraging
03:08There is also times the movement is gonna cause
03:11costly
03:13Figures for Zimbabwe particularly for poor old climate and a it's a 12th by in three overs and two of the four boys
03:21He couldn't have got to a theater jetpack a point of difference to the Irish bowlers
03:26He's gone full like that. This is gonna be four more boys
03:29Well, he's having an absolute nightmare
03:33Gonna just keep an eye on the signal that's been given as runs
03:39Edged away and you can't say PJ Moore was in control of that
03:43He's gonna get four if there's a gully in place
03:47Alongside those three slips that could have been a catching opportunity
03:53Fluent with his driving
03:56Fluent with his driving over pitch by Muzza Rabbani. Yes, but more is growing in confidence. Oh
04:08Now that'll be four I think
04:12Yes, it is hasn't rained oh
04:16Yes
04:18He's held on to it. He's held on to it Sean Williams and
04:23It's just reward for Chewbacca
04:26They've talked about the control. He's shown this morning the shape. He's got away from the right-hander
04:31Gets the outside edge of camphor Williams fumbled in the end held on to it
04:42On the left side it's gonna be vice again
04:45Hit him and caused a bit of damage to that left hand and you can just see him there
04:54Nicely played
04:57It's swung
04:59But it's also provided with for Harry Tector and he's gleefully accepted that
05:06Again
05:08Delta slightly better this time for PJ Moore and that will be lunch on day two here at Stormont
05:17Island
05:19115 for two they will be
05:22more than happy
05:24How this morning session has gone for them the Zimbabwean bolas and
05:28technical staff for
05:31the
05:33Captain
05:35Kurtis camphor getting the outside edge induced caught for eight
05:40It's PJ Moore who's been the outstanding contributor 62 and 71 balls recently joined
05:46The Zimbabwean bolas and they've had a lot of fun
05:50They've had a lot of fun. They've had a lot of fun. They've had a lot of fun
05:55They've had a lot of fun. They've had a lot of fun. They've had a lot of fun
05:59Contributor 62 and 71 balls recently joined by Harry Tector
06:08Hasn't gone so well for
06:10Zimbabwean four-man pace attack
06:13The two wickets though, however going to the most outstanding of those four
06:17Tanaka Chivanga
06:19Two for 18 and his five overs
06:24So this is where we stand then
06:27Lunch on day two here at Stormont Zimbabwe 210 started off extremely well
06:32Not for 97 and one stage 74 and 49 for my salary and Gumby
06:38Respectively three wickets a piece for McGrind and McCarthy and then Ireland opening up the day with the bat today
06:46115 for two in a very
06:48Comfortable position they trail Zimbabwe by 95 runs. Don't go away. We'll be back with you in about 30 minutes time
06:57All that looks good, it looks good and it's out
07:02Chivanga strikes again for Zimbabwe. It's full just straightened through the air at the last moment
07:09Harry Tector just falling over that front foot and Chivanga gets another
07:19Leg buys down the leg side and will be four of them
07:27Beautiful and that is a trademark back foot drive for four
07:37Opposition but he's got the hands through it. It's gone through the covers in the air, but it's flown to the cover boundary
07:44another boundary to PJ Murer
07:50Now was there a bet on that
07:53I'm Posh I got says no, it's buys
08:00For
08:04It's just too full there's no protection in that covering from that our
08:12That is excellent polling and that is the end of PJ Murer
08:15It's an absolute Jaffa from blessing Missouri Bonnie and PJ Murer departs for 79 well taken by climate Andy
08:22I'm gonna lose their fourth wicket for 165
08:29It's a big shot and Lorcan Tucker has gone first ball full and straight
08:34Plum in front Sharfa Dula no hesitation erasing the first that first finger of his right hand
08:39Ireland have lost fifth wicket at 165 and a great fight back from the big Zimbabwean fast bowler
08:50It's another ball down the leg side it is evaded climate and a once again and it's four more buys to the total
08:57Well keepers had a tough day, but I would I would argue that he hasn't been helped past
09:02the Irish batsman's nose so
09:05Edged and gone
09:07when Paul Sterling
09:09Attempting to drive on the up has not got near the pitch of the ball and the move to Williams isn't one of relief
09:15It's one of threat
09:17Sterling had that life early, but he falls caught up for a slip for 22
09:24And that is gonna be bold
09:27We thought a dare might play positively, but he's ended up having a swipe across the line
09:32It turned it didn't really bounce that much either the off stump castle into these are big big wickets Williams
09:39He's not just got Sterling. He's got a dare now to Ireland
09:44Seven down and in danger of maybe not even taking a first innings lead a lot more white ball cricket than red ball cricket
09:51So they're not used to the swinging ball. So when the ball starts to swing
09:56Great shot for four there by Andy McGrane short wide four runs and team then was probably the best team
10:05Edged and gone and right on the stroke of tea. It's Chitara who does the job
10:12McCarthy may be going into his shell somewhat a very defensive stroke and all he's ended up doing is poking it to second slip
10:20And the second session of the day. Well, it is belonged
10:24To Zimbabwe the visitors in a big way much like the second session yesterday
10:29Did this game is turned all around and with the exception of PJ Moore is 79
10:35Ireland do not have much to cheer McCarthy the latest to fall
10:40It means we will head to tea
10:42Well less than 20 minutes time 18 minutes from now. We'll come back on air in about 15 minutes
10:46You'll hear from me with a very special guests. Look forward to that
10:52The castle across to our right
10:57John Tarrant wife
11:01In the rain delays
11:04Some free slashes that away. It's a nice piece of it. He's gonna get for
11:09Ireland they have a lead
11:13Into the offside
11:15I'm gonna wait for a signal again here. You're not gonna believe this
11:19It's four more boys down the leg side
11:22And Madanda has the look of a man who well, he just wants a hot shower this evening and to forget that today has happened
11:28Good books at the top
11:30As Humphreys goes through the offside
11:33Raucous cheer will greet that boundary Ireland's number 11 showing he's more than capable and competent with the bats
11:42This one's cut away
11:44It's gonna be probably four more. Yes, it will get to the rope gets to double figures Humphreys
11:50He's got a good chance of getting a free kick
11:52It's gonna be probably four more. Yes, it will get to the rope gets to double figures Humphreys
11:57These are very valuable runs for Ireland that threat he provides
12:02Now a hook shot and that's gone for six. That's going the distance. It's actually come nearly into the Zimbabwean tent
12:09You can hear that the light of the crowd
12:15Howard down the ground it's gonna be four more
12:17Howard down the ground it's gonna be four more
12:20Tara no great threat with his pace and Humphreys showing off a wide array of strokes and he's saying to Andrew Balberni
12:27Why am I batting at number 11?
12:32Brian hooks that pulls that one away off his hip he's gonna get four look like it was just gonna be a couple but it's
12:38raced away across the turf
12:41A
12:42Big appeal that is jagged back in and that is gonna be the end of the fun
12:48It's moved sharply the question for Sharif Abdullah was did it strike Andrew McBride in line with the off stump if it did
12:55Well, you'd have to expect that it's gonna go on and cannon into off stump and McBride almost
13:01Apologetically punches gloves with Humphreys pats him on the back
13:05Chitara is the one to take the 10th and final wicket
13:08But it's been a fine rear guard 10th wicket partnership from Andy McBride and Humphreys McBride the last man to fall for 28
13:22No lift alone four slips for Ireland
13:26Oh
13:30That's gone through the gully there's four slips there's no gully and it'll be four
13:39I thought that might be what he'll try
13:43But that will be that near installment on day two
13:49An outstanding rear guard
13:5210th wicket partnership
13:54For Ireland gave them a 40 run lead
13:58And then just the four overs that they managed to bowl at the Zimbabwean pair Gumbi and
14:07Zimbabwe 12 for no loss
