Bermuda innings (target: 46 runs from 9 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
CR Foggo	c sub (MJ Fourie) b Connell	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
0.1 caught! What a start for Ireland, Foggo tied to swing the ball through the leg-side, he got a top edge and Fourie took the catch at short third-man 0/1
DL Hemp	c †NJ O'Brien b Connell	0	8	2	0	0	0.00
0.3 gone again! The small ground are jubilant! On a good length outside off stump, Hemp got a thin edge through to O'Brien 0/2
SD Outerbridge	lbw b Connell	8	11	6	1	0	133.33
2.3 another one for Connell, straight and full to trap Outerbridge straight in front- as plum as plum can be! 14/3
JJ Celestine	st †NJ O'Brien b Botha	7	16	9	0	0	77.77
3.4 big drama in Belfast, Celestine down the wicket and the ballnips between bat and pad- O'Brien removing the bails in double-quick time 21/4
OL Pitcher	run out (KJ O'Brien/†NJ O'Brien)	6	18	8	0	0	75.00
6.2 Cusack to Edness, another wicket! Driven into the covers and straight to O'Brien who sent a thow over the bails for brother Niall to complete the run-out 26/6
IH Romaine*	b Botha	1	8	8	0	0	12.50
5.4 bowled! Tries to cut a ball which was much too full and he looses his off-stump. The tension around Stormont is surreal 25/5
J Edness†	run out (†NJ O'Brien/Johnston)	4	9	6	0	0	66.66
7.2 from Johnston, suicidal stuff from Bermuda, they same determined to throw this away, the ball was down the leg-side and O'Brien wanted a single as the ball rolled to fine-leg, the thow left Edness well short 31/7
GH O'Brien	c Connell b Johnston	7	8	7	0	1	100.00
7.5 he tried to repeat the shot but this time the ball went high rather than long, Connell took a juggling catch at the third attempt on the square-leg boundary 37/8
