Australian skipper Travis Head was dropped by Calitz in Humphrey's opening over but run out in Adair's next. The Premadasa in Colombo has traditionally favoured spin and Ireland going big with it today, Harry Tector the fourth option used today and he has Glenn Maxwell well caught by Tucker off an under-edge. Australia 90-4 at the halfway stage. Can Ireland contain the Australian charge in the later overs - No is the answer as Ireland turn back to pace for McCarthy and Adair to finish off the innings with double digit rates against their name. First ball of the chase Paul Stirling retires hurt. Full ball from Bartlett dug out in around his feet and he hobbles a single. Hard to tell if it's blow on the foot or a tweaked muscle as he set off for the run. Adair survives a 'dolly' at cover before Tector goes without scoring last ball of the second over. Adair skittled next ball not offering a shot in the end to a Nathan Ellis back-of-the-hand slower ball and Campher comes and goes in the same over. Calitz drags on to give Ellis his third. It doesn't look as if Paul Stirling will be taking any further part today - he is in the dugout having changed out of his playing kit. Delany slogs at a Zampa top-spinner but only edges to the keeper - glum faces in the stands as well as on the Irish bench. Tucker becomes Zampa's second victim and George Dockrell who runs past a wide leg-break his third before Adair gifts him a fourth in his final over. A fourth for Ellis as McCarthy holes out in the deep ends the match with Stirling unable to bat. Grim viewing for those at home as well as for the travelling support.
