049.649.5: Jack Brassell to Liam McCarthy, OUT! BOWLED! Well, Jack Brassell says he'll do it himself and does get rid of Liam McCarthy. Brassell bowls it quick and a bit full, attacking the pads. Liam McCarthy makes a bit of room and swings hard across the line, only to miss the ball completely. The ball then goes on to crash into the leg stump and Ireland lose their 9th wicket with a ball to play.
249.549.4: Jack Brassell to Liam McCarthy, DROPPED! Jack Brassell misses out on a well-deserved wicket, and Waldo Smith is the culprit here.

048.448.4: JJ Smit to Liam McCarthy, No run there! Nagging length around off, Liam McCarthy gets forward and nudges it off the inside edge onto his pads. The ball just rolls past the off stump and he looks for a single, but McBrine sends him back.
048.348.3: JJ Smit to Gavin Hoey, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust, and JJ Smit picks up his second wicket. Smit comes a bit wider on the crease, bowls it into the deck, on a good length and gets the ball to dart back in sharply.

047.347.3: Ruben Trumpelmann to Curtis Campher, And again! This is poor from Campher. A bit short and well wide, Campher brings out the reverse again and misses again as well. Had he played it normally, it would have been there to cut.

045.245.2: Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton to George Dockrell, OUT! STUMPED! An appeal for a stumping, and that square leg umpire has given it out. This is nicely tossed up, drifts onto middle and leg and then turns away a bit after pitching. George Dockrell backs away and leans forward to go over extra cover but misses and Zane Green is lightning quick to dislodge the bails. Replays show that Dockrell's back leg might have been just on the line, rather than inside, so its a good decision. Also, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton has a four-fer now.
