  1. Cheers, Tim.

    It was a partnership of 106 between the Bryce sisters that set the foundations of Scotland's total but they don't have much time to recover.

    Sarah is going through her wicketkeeping drills while Kathryn warms up to bowl.

  2. Ireland need 162 to win

    This could be an interesting run-chase, so here to take you through it is Ffion Wynne.

  3. Ireland pulled that back really well - Scotland scored just 34-3 in their last five overs.

  4. Ireland need 162 to win

    180 looked to be odds-on when the Bryces were in full flow, but credit to Ireland for pegging Scotland back. Those missed catches will sting, though.

    Those last two overs, seven runs and two wickets, Ireland coming back really nicely.

    I still think that this is a really competitive total and Ireland will have to do a lot to hunt it down.

  6. Sco 161-5

    Chatterji pulls for a rushed single, Megan McColl runs a leg bye and then Chatterji attempts a reverse sweep that doesn't quite come off to end the innings with a single.

  7. Sco 158-5

    Chatterji swipes for two but then misses another attempted pull off the third.

    I think 160 is a nice score for Ireland. It's just danglilng the carrot, telling them to come and get it. Ireland will definitely be ready to come and chase it.

  9. Sco 156-5

    Orla Prendergast takes the final over, with new batter Priyanaz Chatterji missing a hoick to leg after stepping outsie off from the first.

    This is a really good over from Canning. It could be the over that puts Scotland at 160.

    WICKET

    K Bryce c Murray b Canning 60 (Sco 155-5)

    Kathryn Bryce's fine knock is over after she lays back to cut, but the ball balloons up and is taken with ease at cover by Cara Murray.

    Ireland are right back in this.

    This could well be the difference now between 175 and 165. I think that still is a good score, the Irish batters will struggle on this surface.

    It's good to see Ireland sticking with it. There was times in the middle of the innings where they'd let things slip a bit.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Lister b Canning 6 (Sco 154-4)

    Ireland are just pegging Scotland back now, with Ava Canning claiming her second as Ailsa Lister misses a pull to one that doesn't get up before cannoning into the stumps off her pads.

  14. Sco 154-3

    Scotland Prendergast's over for seven, which is pretty good in context but that missed chance will not have helped her mood.

  15. Firdose Moonda

    Ireland had all the plans in place. We were expecting the bouncer, it came, they just couldn't get the result.

    Dropped catch

    Ailsa Lister swings Orla Pendergast high towards the rope over midwicket, but Tector spills it. A misfield from the next allows two runs, and the bowler's face is a picture of despair.

  17. Sco 147-3

    Ailsa Lister is off the mark and handing the strike back to her bang-in-form partner. Just six from that over slows the run-rate down a touch.

    Hunter's reaction time is what's really impressed me, not a lot of time or space for her to take that one.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    S Bryce c Hunter b Kelly 49 (Sco 142-3)

    A fine 106-run partnership is broken by a great piece of work from the keeper, who takes a thin top edge at the stumps with aplomb.

  20. Sco 142-2

    Alana Dalzell's latest over goes for nine, a slog from Sarah Bryce landing just in front of a fielder racing in from square leg.
