    White to Stuart
    drives, misses and it's a tie! What a match; what an incredible last 10 overs. Only the third tie in World Cup history - all three have involved an African nation - and Ireland jump in delight
    49.5
    2
    White to Stuart
    well what a mad ball. Short, wide, cut just behind backward point who made a brilliant attempt to catch it. They go for a single, in comes the throw - but the batsman appears to run in front of his stumps...and he's home safe! My word this is madness
    49.4
    1
    White to Rainsford
    driven past cover - and he gets the single! This gets Matsikenyeri back on strike - not a good ball from White. Not a good over.
    49.3
    1
    White to Stuart
    full toss, spooned to midwicket - but no! Dropped? The man came in and appeared to just stop in his tracks, the ball dropping short!
    49.2
    2
    White to Stuart
    too short, square cut powerfully into the deep
    49.1
    2
    White to Stuart
    full toss, hammered through cover and long off has a chase to his left...and does well, saving four
    48.6
    W
    K O'Brien to Mpofu
    GONE! Smacked to mid-on, they run a single - but Matsikenyeri stays at the non-striker's end and mid-on's throw hits the stumps
    48.5
    0
    K O'Brien to Mpofu
    hammered down the ground - no! Brilliant stop from the bowler's right foot
    48.4
    0
    K O'Brien to Mpofu
    inside edge! My word that was close
    48.3
    0
    K O'Brien to Mpofu
    driven back to the bowler - the batsman wants a run! How? Scampers back into his crease
    48.2
    0
    K O'Brien to Mpofu
    well bowled! Slower, and Mpofu just dabbed it gently to mid-on
    48.1
    W
    K O'Brien to Utseya
    GONE! A full toss, slapped straight to cover! A dreadful shot; Ireland are absolutely ecstatic, never mind the fans in the stands
    47.6
    0
    Botha to Stuart
    another slower ball but not on target this time; defended.
    47.5
    1
    Botha to Utseya
    inside edge, a desperate scrambling single
    47.4
    0
    Botha to Utseya
    full, straight, hit back to Botha
    47.3
    W
    Botha to Brent
    gone! Excellent slower ball, bang on middle stump, completely foxing the batsman
    47.2
    0
    Botha to Brent
    slower ball worked into the packed off side
    47.1
    0
    Botha to Brent
    good line, good length and it's blocked out to cover
    46.6
    0
    Johnston to Stuart
    clonked back to the bowler - good, tight over that
    46.5
    0
    Johnston to Stuart
    well bowled! Excellent yorker, though it was well dug out
