Mark Adair to Marcus Stoinis, no run, a chance and Delany has put it down, reacted early, went down to his left and then let the ball pop out - Ireland have been poor with their catching in this WC so far. Was a slower short ball and Stoinis hammered it off the back-foot, went to the left of cover and should've been taken. Delany got both hands and couldn't hold on

Mark Adair to Cameron Green, out Caught by George Dockrell!! Mark Adair has the last laugh! Goes slow around middle and leg, Cameron Green goes for a wild swing and miscues it altogether. Off the cue end towards mid-wicket, where Dockrell completes a rather easy catch. Cameron Green walks back after playing a handy little cameo. Looked in good touch, unfortunately fails to make the most of that start. Cameron Green c George Dockrell b Mark Adair 21(11) [4s-1 6s-2]

Mark Adair to Travis Head, out Travis Head Run Out!! Calitz makes up for that dropped catch immediately. That was a really bad call by Inglis. Was a slightly short ball and Travis Head got an inside edge towards square leg. Inglis calls for a quick single, and Head is late to react. He didn't have an idea where the ball exactly was. Goes for the run nevertheless and Calitz is quick to fire a throw at the bowler's end. Adair gathers the ball and whips off the bails with Head comfortably out of his crease. Travis Head run out (Benjamin Calitz/Mark Adair) 6(7) [4s-1]
