Ireland are struggling at 188 for 8 on day three of their ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Namibia at Clontarf, with Ian van Zyl taking six wickets.
Ireland were in a strong position when rain stopped play on the second day.

Namibia, put in to bat, were all out for 95 with Irish skipper Trent Johnston claiming six wickets for 23.

The only resistance came from Kola Burger, who struck 39 off just 20 deliveries, with 28 of those coming in a single over off Andre Botha.

Ireland were 78-3 off 29 overs when play was called halted for the day.

They lost openers Jeremy Bray and William Porterfield with only 16 on the board but a 53-run stand between Eoin Morgan and Andre Botha put Ireland firmly in control.

Botha was caught by Deon Kotze off Van Zyl just before tea for a well made 34, but Dom Joyce joined Morgan and they saw Ireland safely through to tea without further loss.

Morgan was unbeaten on 23 with Joyce on 8

8 for 34 for van Zyl - not bad.
