    The fielding has just got a little untidy the last couple of overs, gotta keep it together.

    I turned it off when Pollard started hitting it out of the ground. Not sure if I'm happy or disappointed Ireland ran them so close in the end.

    Think you got to be happy, the ohhh close yet so far away part, is frustrating, especially having been on top and in control of the game for so long but... here you are now watching an Ireland cricket team, capable of beating the West Indies out on their own patch. In fact came within two deliveries of doing so.. I never thought I’d be typing that.

    Bad start for Ireland with both openers gone.

    Stirling never got going while McCollum started well but drove a ball which was on the up and it was an easy catch.

    Very good pitch. Ireland have a lot of work to do.

    15 overs in and the run rate is under 3. Singles really only appear to be the only way to trouble the scorers.

    Porterfield out lbw to a full ball by Chase. 51/3 in the 18th over and Ireland going nowhere at the moment.

    We seem to struggle a bit when it’s full and straight, then again two bad shortish deliveries down leg side and what should have been 8 runs only was 1.

    A run a ball here will give us 230-240 and make a game of it. Pity we threw a few wickets away early on

    240 is probably realistic. Being 5 down already I don’t think it gives the players much leeway to go too attacking. Punish the bad deliveries and keep the strike rotating..

    Another wicket thrown away, he was well set, very well set, looking towards a hundred playing well then a lazy loose shot.
