... The Presentation Ceremony ...
Boy, Ireland sure will be happy with the rain but in all fairness, even without the rain, they looked to be right on top of proceedings. Paul Stirling and William Porterfield came out with intent and got their team the start they required. With a target like this, it's important to get ahead and then you can just knock around. After losing both their openers, the partnership between Andy McBrine and Harry Tector was the key. Tector then carried on till the end and brought up yet another half-century in his young ODI career. Pretty straightforward victory in the end for the visitors and there's all to play for in the final ODI.
The hosts were always going to be second favorites with the score they put on but they didn't do themselves any favors with the ball either. They conceded runs at a run-a-ball in the first 10 overs and even though they picked up a couple of wickets, West Indies were on the back foot as there weren't many runs to defend. Akeal Hosein was taken on today and couldn't do his job of stemming the flow of runs. He did get two wickets but it wasn't enough and the other spinner, Roston Chase bowled much better. But it was their pace bowling that just couldn't put enough pressure on the opposition and there wasn't much left in the pitch either. All in all an underwhelming performance from the hosts.
Well, these days the world isn't short of drama and there was drama at Sabina Park in this game as well. With Ireland in the driving seat, they lost their fourth wicket and just as things were getting interesting, rain played spoilsport. With still 73 runs required, the hosts would have felt that they had a chance but it wasn't meant to be. With the equation being just 11 needed off 28 balls after we finally got play in, it was Ireland's game and they got over the line with ease. Huge 10 points for them in the Cricket World Cup Super League points table and the series is leveled at 1-1!

Roston Chase to Harry Tector ,Darted on the pads. Worked to deep square leg. 'Push push push push' says Tector but there is only a single there.
We will have more action! 4.4 overs will be bowled and 11 runs is what Ireland need to get. The players are walking out now. Harry Tector and George Dockrell take the crease and Roston Chase will finish the over. Also, Powerplay 3 has begun as this is effectively a 36-over innings.
Update 3:25 am IST (9:55 pm GMT, previous day) - Sadly, the rain is hanging around for a bit longer. Overs are going to be lost and DLS will certainly come into play. But for now, let's just hope the rain stops so we can resume play.
Update 3:05 am IST (9:35 pm GMT, previous day) - Live pictures from the ground show that it is a slight drizzle at the moment and the groundstaff might be taking the covers off and start moping. Also, the DLS par score currently is 131 but Ireland are miles ahead of it.
Update 2:41 am IST (9:11 pm GMT, previous day) - Oi. The drizzle has gotten quite heavy now and the players are off. The covers are on but as I type this, the rain has died down again. Shouldn't be a long delay. Ugh, more covers are being brought back again.

Roston Chase to Harry Tector ,Tector survives a close LBW call! So close yet so far for Roston Chase and West Indies. This is pushed fuller, around off and the ball turns in. Harry Tector is pushed on the back foot as he looks to work it leg side. He misses and gets pinged on the pads and the hosts appeal. The umpire shakes his head. Review is taken by Pollard. UltraEdge shows there's no bat involved and Ball Tracker confirms that the impact is umpire's call. Even though the ball is hitting the stumps, the decision will not be overturned.

Akeal Hosein to George Dockrell ,Quicker one, full and around off. Dockrell keeps it out on the off side.
Drinks break! The last wicket might make things interesting but the Irish should chase this down now. They have done all the hardwork and should chase it down with overs to spare. The hosts would look to trigger a collapse just like they did in the first ODI. An interesting finish coming up. Also, George Dockrell joins Harry Tector in the middle.

Akeal Hosein to Curtis Campher ,OUT! BOWLED! Is there some life still left in this match? This is pushed through quicker by Akeal Hosein, around off. Curtis Campher backs away and looks to play the cut shot but the ball just skids on with the arm and stays a bit low as well. Campher fails to get any bat on it and the ball crashes into off and middle. Hosein has provided the much-needed breakthrough for West Indies.

Akeal Hosein to Harry Tector ,Fifty for Harry Tector. Is this the knock that wins it for Ireland? Quicker one, angled into middle and leg. Harry Tector is pushed on the back foot as he works it leg side for a single.

Akeal Hosein to Harry Tector ,What a beauty! Lovely bit of drift, into the off stump. The ball bites and turns away sharply as the batter is drawn forward. Tector is beaten all ends up.
