Shah Faisal to Gareth Delany, out Caught by Ashish Odedara!! In the air and taken! The partnership has been broken. 124.5kph, very full and outside off, Delany shuffles and stays back to try and loft it over long-off/deep extra cover. The bat turns at the point of impact and hence the timing goes awry. Odedara comes in from long-off to take a juggling catch. Faisal punches the air in delight but Delany has played a gem of an innings. Gareth Delany c Ashish Odedara b Shah Faisal 56(30) [4s-3 6s-4]

Nadeem Khan to Gareth Delany, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Delany cuts it over the point's reach. Wasn't too far from the reach. Into the fence
7.5
Aamir Kaleem to Lorcan Tucker, wide, well well, what drama. Tucker gets away with a stumping chance. Aamir pushes it down the leg and Tucker loses balance as he looks to flick. The keeper collects it cleanly moving to his left, he loses his balance and makes up for it later by quickly dislodging the bails. The left hand was in contact with the right glove, but the third umpire thinks otherwise and gives not-out. Vinayak Shukla broke the stumps with his right glove when the ball was between the two hands (left glove and right wrist). Debatable decision from Ahsan Raza and Tucker survives

Aamir Kaleem to Curtis Campher, out Lbw!! Ireland sink further. Aamir fires in an arm ball on middle. The ball skids on the surface and pings Campher low on the pad. He went on the back foot to a ball that should have played on the front foot. Once he went on the back foot, he had very less chance to get away with it. Ireland lose a review. Curtis Campher lbw b Aamir Kaleem 12(7) [4s-2]

Shakeel Ahmed to Harry Tector, out Bowled!! Shakeel gets his third. The change of pace does the trick. Was slower through the air and gets the ball to turn away a touch.

Shakeel Ahmed to Ross Adair, out Caught by Aamir Kaleem!! Adair departs. He goes for the wild swing to a ball that wasn't there to be hit. Shakeel pulls the length back on middle, Adair clears his front foot and looks to hoick it over the in-field. All he manages is a skier towards mid-on. Aamir runs to his right from mid-off and takes a good catch as his teammate (Shakeel) was right next him. They both avoid a collision. Ross Adair c Aamir Kaleem b Shakeel Ahmed 14(7) [4s-3]

Shakeel Ahmed to Tim Tector, out Bowled!! Tector's short stay ends. Makes room to a faster delivery that was bowled at 104ks. The ball skids low and sneaks under the bat on the attempted cut. Shatters the stumps and has to make a long walk back to the pavillion. Oman are up and going in this contest. Tim Tector b Shakeel Ahmed 5(4) [4s-1]

Shakeel Ahmed to Tim Tector, FOUR, edged and past the keeper. The keeper was not in a great position. Quicker around off, was on a shortish length. Tector gets a thin edge that flies wide of the keeper. Streaky way to start his WC knock
