    Naveed Zadran to Tucker
    there it comes... Irish supporters and the Ireland dressing room up in celebration. Niall O'Brien on air is very proud, as Ireland get their first ever Test win. This is how came the winning run: Tucker closed the face of the bat to clip this length ball angling into his pads, but got a leading edge towards cover, and they took off
    31.2
    3
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    ohh, this is unfortunate, as Afghanistan make Ireland work hard all the way. Short and wide of off, and hacked hard to deep point, and they can only manage three, with the ball being chased back
    31.1
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    ahh, he goes driving hard at this full delivery just outside off, but it takes the inside half of the bat to mid-on
    30.6
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    fullish and drifting into middle, but turning away. Blocked down from deep in the crease
    30.5
    1
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Balbirnie
    again he gets across the stumps a bit to paddle sweep this full ball on the stumps to fine leg
    30.4
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Balbirnie
    ohh, it is still turning, as it lands on a length on middle and moves towards off, and is blocked
    30.3
    1
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    ahh, this goes on with the angle, as it pitches on a length on leg, and takes his pad as he looks to clip
    30.2
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    full ball on off, and blocked down
    30.1
    4
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    slog swept to deep square leg! Ireland almost there. Zia tossed it up, and went full around off, but Tucker swung it with the turn away for four
    29.6
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    another one which is full and in the channel, as Balbirnie now drives to mid-off
    29.5
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    similar to the last ball: full and just outside off, and he drives down to mid-on
    29.4
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    this time the length is much fuller, and around fifth stump. Pushed to mid-on
    29.3
    4
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    slapped hard to deep third! The ball is short and quite wide of off, as he hacks aerially, with no fielder present at point or backward point
    29.2
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    this is full too, but a bit wide of off. Driven to mid-off, and Balbirnie sends Tucker back
    29.1
    0
    Naveed Zadran to Balbirnie
    fullish delivery just outside off, as he blocks it down firmly
    28.6
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    full and straight, and pushed back to the bowler
    28.5
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    bowls quicker, and on a length on middle and off. Stabbed away towards point
    28.4
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    fullish and flatter on off. Tucked down towards cover
    28.3
    0
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Tucker
    full delivery lands on off, and is tapped down
    28.2
    1
    Zia-ur-Rehman to Balbirnie
    again he plans his front foot on off, and paddle sweeps this full delivery on middle and off to fine leg. He raises his fifty too, having guided Ireland all the way
