Dockrell continues.
Misbah is on strike. He is 3*.
[VIDEO] Ireland vs Pakistan highlights: 2015 Cricket World Cup scores, blog

Misbah 2*
[VIDEO] Ireland vs Pakistan highlights: 2015 Cricket World Cup scores, blog
Two quick wickets for Ireland, but they’ve got a lot more work to do if they are going to win this game.

WICKET – Haris Sohail has been run out.

He is not happy and rightly so.
[VIDEO] Ireland vs Pakistan highlights: 2015 Cricket World Cup scores, blog
Dockrell comes back into the attack.
So far he has bowled one over and conceded a massive 17 runs.
He needs to do better this spell.

O’Brien does his best to slow the run rate, conceding only two runs from the over, but it’s wickets Ireland needs.
Pakistan needs 122 runs for the win.
[VIDEO] Ireland vs Pakistan highlights: 2015 Cricket World Cup scores, blog
Four runs off the Thompson over.
The Pakistani fans are loving what they’re seeing. Ireland can’t seem to find the answers.
