    Jongwe to Dockrell
    Ireland have done it! Dockrell finishes the job with two balls to spare, slicing it above short third! The series is level. Dockrell with a calm, composed celebration. Burl will lead Zimbabwe off the pitch after another cracker of a game, despite the hosts falling short this time

    Jongwe to Dockrell
    Dropped by sweeper cover! It's all happening! Dockrell slices a full delivery and his bottom hand comes off. Marumani runs in and slides forward to try and hold on but it pops out. Ireland get two

    Jongwe to Delany
    Full toss outside off and Delany slaps it over the infield to the sweeper cover. He gets a single

    Jongwe to Adair
    Taken at long-on! This match is not over yet! It's full and Adair swings for the hills. It goes high in the air and seems to hang there for an eternity. Brian Bennett, just a yard or two inside the rope, grabs it reverse-cupped above head height and does well to not lose balance. And we are set for more late drama!

    Ngarava to Adair
    Clipped away to deep midwicket and they settle for the single
    18.5
    1
    Ngarava to Dockrell
    Dug in short and it hits Dockrell on the shoulder as he tries to duck. The ball drops to his right and they sneak the leg bye. Burl checks if that should be allowed as a run but since it was evasive action, the run is given!

    Ngarava to Adair
    Full on leg and Adair chips it wide of mid-on and gets a single as the fielder at cow corner stops the ball

    Ngarava to Dockrell
    And now a leg-side wide! 15 from 12 has become 13 from 12!
    18.1
    1
    Ngarava to Dockrell
    And he starts off with a wide! And Ngarava falls over on the follow through. Looks to be okay to continue though

    Muzarabani to Adair
    Oh my days! Take a bow, Mark Adair, because that's a brilliant hit! It's too full and Adair clears his front leg and lofts it over long-on with seeming ease!

    Muzarabani to Adair
    Banged in short outside off and Adair looks to cut. He checks with the umpire if that's too high but the umpires think it was legal
    17.4

    Muzarabani to Adair
    Dug in short and he pulls between deep midwicket and long-on to get two more runs for Ireland

    Muzarabani to Adair
    Slower short ball on off, Adair looked to back away and steer it past the keeper but the lack of pace means he doesn't connect

    Muzarabani to Dockrell
    Slower bouncer on off, Dockrell makes room and slaps it out to long-on

    Ngarava to Dockrell
    Oh what a shot! Ireland have managed to turn this into a good over, with 12 coming off it! This is banged in short and Dockrell nails the pull through midwicket and in the gap!
